Killer Mike is buzzing with excitement as he reveals the newly renovated Bankhead Seafood, a legendary Atlanta eatery that closed its doors in 2018. He and T.I., along with other partners, purchased this historic restaurant in 2018 and have been working hard to bring it back to life.
The restaurant, a staple in Atlanta for fifty years, had fallen silent until Mike and T.I. stepped in with an ambitious vision. In February 2020, they shared their dream plans for what the revamped restaurant would look like. Now, that dream is almost a reality.
On July 19, Mike took to Instagram to share the progress, posting photos of the buildout and captioning, “@bankheadseafood coming like soon!” He added heartfelt thanks to his partner T.I., celebrating their journey from rough beginnings to now providing jobs and boosting the local economy. Mike’s excitement was palpable as he exclaimed, “We almost Ready!”
However, the reopening date seems to be a bit of a mystery. The official website and Instagram still state 2021 as the opening year, but with the recent updates, it appears the big day is right around the corner.
In addition to the restaurant, Mike has been making waves in the music scene. He recently dropped a new track, ‘Humble Me,’ which addresses his controversial arrest at the 2024 Grammy Awards. The song, featuring a stirring intro by Muhammad Ali, captures Mike’s defiant yet introspective mood.
The lyrics of ‘Humble Me’ reflect Mike’s experiences, from winning Album of the Year at the BET Awards to coping with his arrest. His powerful words, “I won at the Grammys/ For spitting my grammar… Got sent to the slammer / Treat me like an animal or some kind of Hannibal,” convey his struggle and resilience.
Meanwhile, it was also confirmed that Mike will face no charges related to his Grammy arrest. The incident, which involved an alleged altercation with a security guard, has been resolved without legal consequences for the rapper.
Mike’s journey from restaurateur to rap legend continues to inspire, with big things just around the corner for Bankhead Seafood.
