“I wanted to let people know, me and Phonte, we super good,” Pooh told AllHipHop. “We had a chance to reconcile, come back and, I believe, put Little Brother to bed the proper way. We was able to do it the right way and I believe that’s one of the things we both thought was important—not that when we knew when that day would be, but it was still important to have that moment and allow our fans to have that moment, too.”

Little Brother became critical darlings in the 2000s on the strength of classic albums like The Listening and The Minstrel Show and built a strong following by engaging directly with fans on Okayplayer. Alongside super producer 9th Wonder, they forged an enviable legacy before disbanding in 2010. Phonte and Pooh reunited to release May The Lord Watch in 2019. Phonte agreed that Little Brother is ending on their own terms.

“Pooh said it beautifully,” he says. “We came back after a decade and got our first No. 1 record, we did our own movie, we did our own block party and regained control of our catalog. Our work is complete. Our mission as Little Brother is complete. Pooh and I were really able to not just rebuild but also cement our brotherhood. That was the most important. That was the God of it. Our work as Little Brother is done. Our lives as Phonte and Thomas will go on forever.”

Both Pooh and Phonte announced “Curtain Call” with posts on their respective Instagram accounts. The tour will wrap up with an appearance at the Rock The Bells Cruise in October.
