A federal judge is reportedly considering significantly reducing a multimillion-dollar settlement previously awarded to Clifford “T.I.” Harris and Tameka “Tiny” Harris. Multiple reports indicate that the judge is contemplating lowering the $71 million settlement to $17.8 million due to insufficient evidence that MGA acted in bad faith, according to Fox 5 Atlanta. Last year, a jury awarded the Atlanta couple $71 million after a lengthy legal battle with MGA concerning the alleged misappropriation of their likeness in its popular ‘L.O.L. (Li’l Outrageous Littles) Surprise Dolls line, as reported by AFROTECH™. “Jurors reportedly agree that ‘L.O.L. Surprise! OMG dolls’ infringed on the trade dress and misappropriated the name, image, and likeness of the all-female group that T.I. and Tiny formed,” AFROTECH™ reported. During the weeks-long trial, lawyers pointed out seven MGA Dolls with appearances uncanny to the singers at “ very specific public events.” Tiny’s oldest daughter, Zonnique...
If you hear the adjectives “crazy, ” “sexy” and “cool” presented in that order – one thing should come to mind. And that is the musical styling and cultural impact of the women of TLC. Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes captivated the hearts of millions with their pop hits and imprint on the fashion world. The Atlanta-based girl group would skyrocket into superstardom with their debut album, “Ooooooohhh… On the TLC Tip.” Their first album, released in 1992, would host chart-topping singles like “Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg”, “What About Your Friends,” and “Baby-Baby-Baby.” The group avoided the sophomore slump by releasing one of their most popular albums in 1994 – “CrazySexyCool.” TLC would go on to have four No. 1 hits and nine singles to reach the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 list. With so much musical success, it is no surprise that they would become the second biggest-selling female group with 23 million certified units over their career. The...
Knowing the difference between mixing business and personal relationships is key within the music industry, and for T.I., sacrificing a connection wasn’t worth the risk. What’s more, he says he turned down the opportunity to sign two of the hottest emcees of the current generation because he knew it would come with a price tag worth far more than money.
For more than 20 years, T.I. has been with Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, and together, they’ve raised a total of seven children. And with a net worth of $50 million, the “Trouble Man” has proven that he’s got what it takes to make his money last (Tiny holds up pretty well, herself, with an estimated net worth between $3 million and $5 million, per Celebrity Net Worth). Fans of T.I. and Tiny got a glimpse into their strange and amazing world on their hit VH1 series, “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle,” which aired from 2011 to 2017. From getting out of prison to forming a next-generation supergroup with the OMG Girlz (which also featured Lil’Wayne’s daughter, Reginae), the man born Clifford Joseph Harris proved the old adage that stars are just like us. These days, T.I. has branched out from music to technology. Like many of his peers, including Jay-Z, Grand Hustle — which was once his own record label — has expanded into Grand Hustle Tech. The tech arm of the label has invested in many...
