Hip-hop star Yasiin Bey performed for what appears to be the last time in his career.

But the rapper also known as Mos Def said in a backstage interview on Saturday night, he’ll continue creating and will return to the public spotlight in the future. He performed for more than an hour at the eighth annual ONE Musicfest in Atlanta.

Bey announced his retirement from the music and acting business after getting into a legal fight in South Africa last year. He was charged with trying to leave the country while using a passport not recognised by that country. He was ultimately allowed to leave but denied re-entry.

The 42-year-old rapper started his farewell concerts at New York City’s Apollo Theater late last year.
