In our What-The-Hell news of the day, rapper, T.I. (real name, Clifford Harris), had a rough go of it at an Atlanta airport Sunday (8/4/24).  He was arrested in one of the oddest cases of mistaken identity ever.

According to reports, “Tiny” Harris’s hubby was minding his own biz’ at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport on Sunday. But sometimes when things are going smooth sailing, there may be a choppy tide or two ahead– or in T.I.’s case, an outright disastrous one. That was the case regarding T.I.’s traveling day…and speaking of cases, he may have a rock-solid one against whichever entities (airport, airport officials, Clayton County, etc) are responsible for this major slip-up…if he chooses to go that route.

What Had Happened Was…

So, what happened was that there is apparently a warrant out for a man named Clifford Harris, who is reportedly wanted in Baltimore, MD. Although the ‘wanted’ Clifford shares the same name as T.I.’s real name, law enforcement at the ATL airport were somehow unaware that there could actually be two people in the world who could possibly share that same name.

As a result, Clifford Harris, as in T.I., was the dude the officials decided to wrongfully scoop up that day..instead of the actual suspect.

TMZ reported, “The suspect is wanted for alleged involvement in violent behavior toward a woman, stalking, and possibly involving a gun.” However, T.I. was the Clifford who was arrested and taken to Clayton County Jail in Atlanta, straight from the airport. To make matters even worse, because the Baltimore warrant was issued out of state, immediately following his arrest, an automatic extradition hearing was initiated for T.I. to be extradited to Baltimore…Laaaawd 🤦🏽‍♂️. But there’s more…

As if T.I.’s airport arrest couldn’t get any weirder, there was one red flag that should have caught at least one of the arresting officers attention BEFORE this whole fiasco went down. The real suspect-Clifford-Harris is reportedly listed on the warrant as weighing 205 pounds. However, not one of the officers apparently sized up T.I. long enough to notice his reported weight of 165 pounds. Strange, I tell ya.’ 🤦🏽‍♂️

T.I.’s Lawyer Stepped In

Thankfully, once T.I. was taken to Clayton County Jail he was able to get his lawyer, Steve Sadow, on the phone…who reportedly dialed up the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office to get this whole thing straightened out. T.I. was released two hours later– as in two hours of his life that I’m pretty sure he would’ve been doing far more productive things with.

At this point, it’s unclear if T.I. plans to pursue any legal action for any pubic humiliation and/or wrongful detainment he’s experienced.

Rapper T.I. and wife/singer, Tiny Harris (of Xscape), are in the midst of a new legal battle. A woman, identified as Jane Doe, has filed a lawsuit accusing the couple of sexual assault. The allegations claim that T.I. and Tiny drugged her at a nightclub and then took her to their hotel room, where they engaged in non-consensual sexual acts. However, T.I. and Tiny vehemently deny these allegations, stating their innocence and expressing their determination to fight the claims in court.

T.I. And Tiny’s Adamant Deny Woman’s Claim, And Claps Back At Allegations

In a statement to TMZ, T.I. and Tiny had this to say:

“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.”

The Allegations

According to the lawsuit filed by Jane Doe, the incident allegedly took place in or around 2005, when she was stationed in Los Angeles as a member of the U.S. Air Force. The plaintiff claims that she and a friend attended a party at Coolio’s home, where they met a man named “Caviar,” who was allegedly affiliated with T.I. and Tiny. The lawsuit alleges that T.I. and Tiny initially did not show up at the party but informed Jane Doe that they would be at an L.A. nightclub the following night.

The Nightclub Encounter

The woman states that she met T.I. and Tiny at the nightclub, where they all gathered in the VIP section. She claims to have ordered two Amaretto sours for herself before Tiny allegedly handed her another drink, which she shared with her friend. The lawsuit further alleges that T.I. then proposed that Jane Doe ride with him and Tiny to their destination, while her friend would ride with “Caviar.” However, the events that unfolded did not match the initial plan.

The Hotel Room Incident

Upon leaving the nightclub, the woman asserts that she, T.I., and Tiny ended up in a hotel room. Two other women, whom she did not know, joined them initially, but Tiny allegedly kicked them out due to one of them flirting with T.I. Once alone, the woman claims Tiny took the her to the bathroom, where they undressed. Subsequently, she says T.I. joined them, and they all got into the shower together.

Allegations Of Non-Consensual Acts

According to the court doc, the woman claims she began to feel lightheaded and dizzy, and that T.I. suggested she go to bed. She alleges that while T.I. watched adult videos, he requested that she rub him down with some massage oil. She then claims Tiny walked in and joined them.

The lawsuit alleges T.I. eventually said he was going to grab a condom, but that’s when Jane Doe says she ran to the bathroom and threw up. She claims T.I. joked, “Are you alright? Looks like you in last place.”

She then claims she passed out until the next morning, and that some type of contact was supposedly made with her vaginal area, but that the security guard allegedly told her she had to go, while T.I. and Tiny were still asleep in bed.

What Accuser Is Suing For

Jane Doe is now suing T.I. and Tiny Harris for ‘sexual battery, assault, negligence and false imprisonment.’

Why she’s filing her lawsuit 19 years later? As TMZ reported, “…the plaintiff says she’s filing the suit now due to California’s Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act … which opened a year-long window for the revival of claims where the statute of limitations would have otherwise run.”

We’ll keep y’all posted on how this plays out.

Nothing like a good old fashioned beef to kick the week off, right? How about when it’s a beef that’s so stale, it probably needs to be put away forever? This is the case with boxing champion, Floyd Mayweather, and rapper, Clifford ‘T.I.’ Harris. Theirs is the type of animosity that will probably never be settled. And it all stems from Mayweather’s friendship with T.I.’s wife, Tameka ‘Tiny’ Harris.

How The Beef Began

T.I. and Mayweather have had a longstanding beef and that is not necessarily a secret. Back in 2014, the two of them were involved in an altercation in Las Vegas. It all went down at a Fatburger on the Las Vegas strip. Mayweather was inside eating, when T.I. ran up on him; leading to an all out war. TMZ reports that chairs were thrown and a Fatburger employee was injured during the fight. Video (below) of the fiasco also looked like an old school WWF ‘Battle Royale.’

MTV reports that the reason T.I. flew off the handle so quickly, was because of a picture Tiny posted with Mayweather earlier that year.

https://www.instagram.com/p/nm4NEjS39p/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

T.I. approached Mayweather about the photo, accusing the two of them of having something going on. When Mayweather admitted that the two of them were just friends, they both squashed the issue. That is, until the night of their fight, when Tiny posted another photo she had taken during Mayweather’s daughter’s birthday party. T.I. tracked Mayweather down to Fatburger and that’s when all hell broke loose:

“I’m eating at Fatburger and next thing you know, he walk in talking about we need to talk again,” Mayweather stated. “Then a couple of words exchange and people got to pushing and a riot kinda broke out. And then a bunch of chaos and that was basically it.”

This was basically the biggest issue the two celebs encountered, until yesterday in Los Angeles, when T.I.’s rage got the best of him once again…

Tight Bond

T.I. took his sister’s death very hard. And unlike those who don’t live in the limelight he was subject to various news outlets talking about her passing on a daily basis. While riding with T.I.’s grandniece Kairi Chapman Precious suffered a severe asthma attack, causing her to lose control of the car and careen into a telephone pole. Precious died a week later from her injuries, and the asthma attack was ruled the official cause of death. However, when TMZ discovered new information from the medical examiner’s report they instantly posted it to their website on Thursday. Out of respect to the Harris family ILOSM will not be sharing that information. However, T.I. was so upset over TMZ’s post he responded to them in an Instagram Live video relaying how betrayed he felt by their story.

If you thought that the infamous case involving three of T.I.’s actress friends at an Atlanta, GA restaurant was over after the viral controversy it sparked, think again. Although it is a valid assumption, considering that the subsequent Houston’s boycott T.I. started caused that particular Buckhead, Atlanta location to be shut ALL the way down.

However, lo and behold…one of the actresses who was seen on the 2018 video being roughed up by an off-duty ATL cop at Houston’s, is only NOW getting her charges dropped one year later.

Charges Against Actress Dropped…

TMZ– Prosecutors in Fulton County, GA say they will not pursue a criminal case against Brittany Marie Lucio because she’s completed all requirements of a pretrial intervention program. We’re told the program included taking a class about civics and citizen’s rights. Brittany [Marie Lucio] had initially been charged with 1 count of misdemeanor criminal trespass and 1 count of misdemeanor willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer

She’s Now Planning Legal Action Of Her Own…
Now that her charges are dropped, Brittany is about to sue the breaks off of law enforcement because she says the off duty ATL cop used excessive force while arresting her. She’s also pretty sure that wouldn’t have happened if she were a White woman:

Griggs says, “Ms. Lucio’s name has been cleared and she looks forward to pursuing a civil action against law enforcement for the damage and injuries she sustained. She would like to thank all of her supporters in this matter including [T.I.] and others that stood up for her.”-TMZ

Recap Of Actresses’ Hostile Houston’s Restaurant Arrest & Boycott…
You may recall when T.I.’s friends -actresses, Brittany Marie Lucio, Erica Walker and Greenleaf actress, Asia’h Epperson- were arrested outside of Houston’s Restaurant. Their hostile video went viral after T.I. and others shared it across social media.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BjD3PyMDb1h/

Many people were outraged after Brittany and Erica were seen, on camera, being tossed to-and-fro like rag dolls, by Houston’s security guard- an off duty cop. At the time, a Houston’s employee apparently instigated the incident, after claiming the three friends took to long to use the restroom. Cops claimed that the employee asked them to exit the restaurant several times.

All three ladies adamantly denied those claims, stating that a Houston’s staffer politely allowed them to use the restaurant when they’d asked, and that no one asked them to leave prior to the incident turning into a violent altercation with the cop. T.I., Tiny, and fans agree with the actresses, that they were non-provokingly, manhandled in such a violent manner simply because they are African American.

As a result of that particular Houston’s Restaurant actions and lack of compassion, T.I.’s boycott drew many protestors to that establishment for several days. Subsequently, many ATL residents refused to get their grub on at there, which ultimately resulted in that once thriving Houston’s location having to close it’s doors for good.

Maybe any other business that needs to hear this, will now view the impact of the Houston’s Restaurant boycott as an example of what it looks like when Black folks stand together for equal justice.

Tip Knows The Struggle Very Well

Tip is no stranger to being caught up in the legal system and he’s always been very vocal about his own issues with past criminal activity. However, because he’s actually lived that life and can speak to people about his experiences he’s been using his past to prevent others from traveling down the same road. And he’s always done so with humility and tact.

XXL reports that Tip’s efforts of helping our community have been ongoing in various capacities. Aside from his Alzheimer’s disease foundation For The Love Of Our Fathers he’s helped raise money through his Buy Back the Block organization to buy buildings in gentrified neighborhoods. He’s also been recognized by Georgia state senator Donzella James for all of his charitable efforts. However, the miracle he performed on Easter falls in line as one of the best things he’s ever done.

The beef with Kodak Black is not over yet as the rapper released a diss track blasting Tip and his wife– titled “Expeditiously,” which released late Monday (April 15).

“How you tell me what came out my mouth, you don’t even know Nipsey?/ Tiny, that bitch ugly as hell, I don’t even want Piggy/ I can’t beat you n—-s at talkin’, give me a long sentence/ Know I keep the pole and I ain’t no ho, I know some Rollin 60s,” he raps.

Today a fellow Georgia resident is suing T.I.

The Lawsuit

Nicholas Partridge is taking T.I. to court for allegedly stealing his idea for his artist group and album, “Bankroll Mafia.”

Nicholas Partridge sued earlier T.I. for theft of intellectual property for allegedly co-opting the name “Bankroll Mafia” and is demanding $10 million for his loss, according to the suit, which was obtained by BOSSIP.

Nipsey Hussle touched so many by the way he also reached out to help others in his community, that now others are more than eager to reach out and help his kids in return. The latest celeb added to that overwhelming display of love toward Nipsey, is retired NFL star, Reggie Bush.

When Nipsey was shot and killed in front of his Crenshaw, Ca. Marathon Clothing Store on March 31, 2019, he wassurvived by his two children Nipsey’s has two children, Emani Asghedom (age unclear), rom a prior relationship; and son Kross Asghedom (3), from his union with actress, Lauren London. Everyone’s hearts are aching for those beautiful babies, and now Reggie and his wife plan to do something about it.

They also revealed that they’d donated the initial seed money, $10,000.00 to  kick off the campaign.

In recent years, we’ve watched T.I. transform into an activist, who often uses his influence to boldly speak up for equality and against injustices. In his continued boycott against fashion brands that have blatantly disrespected Black people, T.I. is now bringing attention to the latest boycott that was recently re-sparked by actor, George Clooney and the racial differences between the two groups they’re speaking up for.

T.I.’s boycott involves racism against Black folks. Clooney’s boycott involves homophobia against the LGBTQ community within the Islamic nation of Brunei.

Simply put, T.I. couldn’t help but notice the amount of dedication Clooney’s boycott call has sparked from several White celebs, including Ellen Degeneres, and Elton John, whom have each spoken out on the matter. So as a result, T.I. has made some very valid points and is also calling out some of his fellow African Americans on it.

One thing we love about Mr. and Mrs. Harris a.k.a. T.I. and Tiny, is their unbreakable bond. Sure, they’ve had ups and downs, just like the rest of us. Hell, they’ve even had full fledged arguments on camera for all the world to see on national TV. But one thing they won’t do, is allow random folks to come at their partner sideways, without standing up for each other as a united front.

That be’s the case right about now for Tip and Tiny, after fans caught wind of a new photo of Tiny and the fam’ in what was supposed to be a joyous occasion. However, ever since peepin’ the Xscape singer’s new pic, fans have been voicing their opinions all over social media, regarding Tiny’s latest physique…

T.I. has now decided to defend his wife and in doing so, he slammed the hell outta anyone who had something bad to say about his ride-or-die wife. Check out the photo…
