T.I. and his wife Tiny Harris have found themselves in legal trouble once again as they are hit with another lawsuit alleging sexual assault. New details have emerged surrounding the case, with the couple being accused of drugging a woman they met in a nightclub and engaging in non-consensual activities. 

Jane Doe Speaks 

The plaintiff referred to as Jane Doe, claims that she was drugged by T.I. and Tiny after meeting them at a nightclub. The incident allegedly took place in or around 2005 when she was enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and stationed in L.A. 

According to the lawsuit, the hip-hop couple was not present at the party where the initial encounter occurred, but a person named “Caviar,” who claimed to work for the couple, assured her they would meet in an L.A. nightclub the following night.

Jane Doe alleges that Tiny handed her a drink at the nightclub, which she consumed, and Tiny did not. Soon after, the woman further claims that T.I. invited her along with Tiny to their hotel, where they engaged in sexual activities. However, she states that during the encounter, T.I. penetrated her vagina with his toe without her consent, leading her to say “no” and try to push him away. 

The plaintiff also alleges that she vomited in the bathroom, prompting T.I. to mock her saying “Are you alright? Looks like you are in last place.” 

T.I. & Tiny Respond

As a result of these disturbing allegations, Jane Doe is suing the couple for sexual battery, assault, negligence, and false imprisonment. She cites the California Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act as the basis for filing the suit at this time, as it provides a year-long window to revive claims that the statute of limitations would otherwise bar.

In response to these allegations, the legal representatives for both T.I. and Tiny informed TMZ:

“Not only are the claims bogus, but they missed the deadline to file the lawsuit.”

Following the claims, the hip-hop couple has vehemently denied the allegations and expressed:

“On the heels of positivity, negativity always rears its ugly head. This plaintiff has been threatening to file this lawsuit for THREE years. For THREE years, we have emphatically and categorically denied these allegations. For THREE years we have maintained our innocence and refused to pay these extortionate demands for things we didn’t do. For THREE years, we’ve maintained the same position while the claims in this story have changed time and time again. Our position is clear… We are innocent of these fake claims, we will not be shaken down, and we look forward to our day in court.”

MGA Lawsuit

This recent lawsuit is not the first legal battle T.I. and Tiny have faced. They previously filed a lawsuit against the toy company MGA, alleging that the company had stolen the image of the tween music group they managed, OMG GIRLZ, for their LOL Surprise dolls. 

Unfortunately, they lost the case. Additionally, the couple dealt with a defamation lawsuit filed by Sabrina Peterson, a former friend, who accused them of sexual and physical abuse. However, they emerged victorious in that legal battle.

Cassie Vs. Diddy

The music industry is grappling with a whirlwind of lawsuits, implicating numerous influential figures. One such figure is Bad Boy music mogul Diddy, who recently settled a high-profile case with his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, before finding himself embroiled in his fourth lawsuit concerning allegations of sexual and physical abuse with a 17-year-old girl.

T.I. has made a significant contribution to his community by inaugurating an affordable housing development in West Atlanta to provide shelter for homeless and troubled youth. Joined by his wife Tiny and Atlanta’s Mayor, he underscored the initiative’s focus on addressing community needs, highlighting the role of the arts and entertainment industry in making this impactful project a reality.

T.I. Opens Affordable Housing Development

T.I. has opened an affordable housing development in West Atlanta to provide shelter for homeless and troubled youth. 

The ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 14 marked the unveiling of the Intrada Westside, featuring 143 apartments and 25 special units designed specifically for homeless youth. The Atlanta rap legend, accompanied by his wife Tiny and Atlanta mayor Andrew Dickens, emphasized the importance of addressing the community’s needs and the influence of the arts and entertainment industry in making this initiative possible. 

T.I. Shares A Statement

The “What You Know” rapper shared a statement to Atlanta’s Channel 2 Action News and also remembered how the community struggled financially when he was young.

“The arts and entertainment industry in this city has been able to collaborate and, I guess, be profitable enough to offer the community so many things that are much needed,” T.I. said.

The project holds personal significance for T.I. as it is situated near the area where he grew up and where his grandmother used to shop for groceries. Users on Twitter (X) reacted to T.I. opening up the housing developments. 

One user named @DjSmokeTown commented, “Love seeing this, need more rappers on this type of time,” and one other user named @MrTeeRed commented “So dope but they won’t cover this on the news. “

Making A Difference

T.I.’s Briarhouse Holdings company partnered with the city and the Vecino group to turn the once bustling shopping center into a housing complex. The development aims to create a mixed-use community, addressing housing and commercial needs. 

Inspired by Killer Mike’s words, T.I. emphasizes that collective efforts can create a significant impact on the community. Encouragement poured in from social media users, with one individual recognizing the importance of rappers participating in such endeavors. 

Rising From The Ashes

The housing project is not T.I.’s only recent achievement. He and his wife Tiny recently secured a legal victory in a defamation lawsuit against Sabrina Peterson. 

The couple was accused of sexual and physical assault, and, in Peterson’s claims, T.I. was alleged to have pointed a gun at her. However, the court ruled in favor of T.I. and Tiny, dismissing the claims made against them.
