T.I. and Tiny

T.I. and Tiny are seeing Dismissal of Lawsuit

In a recent legal development, rapper T.I. and his wife, Tiny, are pushing to dismiss a lawsuit alleging misconduct dating back to 2005. The couple, known for their music careers and reality TV fame, faces accusations of sexual assault and other charges from a plaintiff identified as Jane Doe.

According to legal filings reported by AllHipHop, T.I. and Tiny’s attorneys argue that the claims made against them are beyond the statute of limitations, asserting that the alleged incidents occurred over sixteen years ago. Furthermore, they contest the validity of the accusations, stating that the lawsuit fails to provide sufficient evidence to support the claims of sexual battery, assault, negligence, and false imprisonment.

The lawsuit claims that the couple met the plaintiff at a Los Angeles nightclub while she was serving in the Air Force. Allegations suggest that Tiny may have tampered with her drink, leading to an encounter at a hotel room where the plaintiff alleges inappropriate behavior by T.I. and Tiny. Despite vehement denials from the couple, the lawsuit seeks to reopen the case under California’s Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act.

In response to the allegations, T.I. and Tiny have maintained their innocence, labeling the lawsuit as an extortion attempt. In a statement shared with HipHopDX, their legal team emphasized their steadfast denial of the claims over the past three years, characterizing the accusations as baseless and evolving.

The couple seeks to have the case dismissed with prejudice, aiming to prevent any future filings related to these allegations. Their legal strategy underscores their determination to clear their names and defend against what they perceive as unfounded claims.

As the legal proceedings unfold, T.I. and Tiny continue to assert their innocence, looking forward to addressing these allegations in court and resolving the matter decisively.

Christina Applegate, known for her candid remarks, recently took to social media to express her thoughts on Peacock’s hit show, Love Island. While professing her love for the series, the Emmy-winning actress didn’t hold back in addressing what she perceives as hygiene and etiquette issues among contestants.

In a series of posts, Applegate called out what she described as “gross” hygiene practices, particularly focusing on the use of white deodorant visible under the armpits during the heat. “White deodorant on the armpits in the heat is gross,” she emphasized. “Now you all are very attractive people, please use clear deodorant!!! The white puss looking shit in the folds is not bueno. This is just me helping you be the best version of you. Haha.”

Applegate’s comments sparked a wave of reactions online, with fans and viewers chiming in on the importance of personal grooming in the public eye. Her humorous yet straightforward approach resonated with many, highlighting an often-overlooked aspect of reality television: personal hygiene.

Beyond hygiene, Applegate also raised concerns about certain noises and behaviors she finds distracting on the show. “Can you pls stop making weird sounds with your water bottles? Like holding straw in mouth and chewing it and not sipping,” she tweeted. “Or girls with long nails making clicky clackety sounds on ha.”

Love Island USA, currently airing its sixth season hosted by Ariana Madix, has garnered attention not only for its romantic entanglements but also for the candid critiques it receives from celebrities like Applegate. Madix herself recently spoke about relationship advice she would give to Islanders, emphasizing the importance of genuine connection and communication amidst the fast-paced environment of the show.

Applegate’s posts serve as a reminder that even in the world of reality television, where drama and romance take center stage, basic etiquette and personal grooming can make a significant impression. As fans continue to follow Love Island’s latest season, Applegate’s words may encourage contestants and producers alike to consider the finer details that contribute to a polished on-screen presence.

Cardi B, known for her chart-topping hits and bold persona, is now facing legal challenges over her song “Enough (Miami)”. Musicians Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, also known as Kemika1956, have filed a lawsuit in Texas alleging that Cardi B’s hit infringes upon their own track, “Greasy Frybread”. The lawsuit, filed on July 3, 2024, claims that “Greasy Frybread”, released in 2021 under the label Tattoo Muzik Group Studios, gained significant recognition and was even featured in promotional material for the FX series “Reservation Dogs”.

Cardi B’s “Enough (Miami)”, released by Atlantic Records in March 2023, has garnered over 46.2 million streams on Spotify and peaked at No. 9 on the US Hot 100 chart. The lawsuit asserts that Cardi B and her team, including producers OG Parker and DJ SwanQo, infringed on the plaintiffs’ copyright by reproducing, distributing, and publicly performing “Greasy Frybread”. Read the full article here. Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group, the parent company, are also named in the suit for vicarious infringement, alleging they had the right and financial interest to supervise and benefit from the alleged infringement.

In addition to seeking statutory damages for willful infringement, Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar are requesting a preliminary injunction and Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to halt further alleged infringement immediately. They also seek an order for the recall and destruction of all infringing copies, as well as attorneys’ fees and declaratory relief confirming their ownership of the copyright in “Greasy Frybread”.

This legal battle highlights the complexities and risks in the music industry, where allegations of copyright infringement can impact artists’ reputations and financial interests significantly. As the case unfolds, it will be closely watched to see how it may influence future copyright practices and protections within the music community.
