P2istheName had planned to relocate to Atlanta and said he was excited about the change of location.
"When I'm like 35, 36, I'm 26 years old right now, but when I'm older and I have kids one day, I want my kids to be able to talk to me and be like 'yo daddy, I want to live here' and I'll be able to say, 'don't say that, that place is trash'.
