T.I. Files Defamation Lawsuit Against Sabrina Peterson Over Allegations

T.I. and Tiny Deny Sexual Abuse Allegations

Rapper T.I. is firing back with a defamation lawsuit against his former friend Sabrina Peterson, escalating their years-long legal battle. This development comes shortly after a judge delayed Sabrina’s own defamation lawsuit against T.I. and his wife, Tiny Harris, due to her failure to pay nearly $100,000 in legal fees after most of her claims were dismissed.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, T.I. alleges that Sabrina has waged a relentless campaign of harassment and defamation against him and his family since they ended their friendship over three years ago. The rapper claims that the decision to distance themselves from Sabrina, citing her lack of a “positive” influence, sparked a vendetta that has led to a series of damaging and baseless accusations posted on social media.

One of Sabrina’s most serious allegations includes a claim that T.I. once held a gun to her head—a claim T.I. vehemently denies. The rapper asserts that these accusations are false, intended solely to harass and damage the reputation of himself and his loved ones. T.I. also notes that Sabrina’s alleged behavior is part of a pattern, claiming others have successfully sought legal protection against her actions in the past.

This countersuit marks a significant shift in the public feud between the former friends, as T.I. now seeks unspecified damages for the harm he claims to have suffered due to Sabrina’s online accusations.

While the original lawsuit brought by Sabrina remains unresolved, this latest move from T.I. underscores the complexity and intensity of their ongoing legal conflict. Fans and observers alike will be watching closely to see how the courts rule in this high-profile case.

[WATCH] T.I. Remembers Scarface, Outkast And Bun B’s Reactions To Calling Himself “King Of The South”

T.I. Takes Aim At Sexual Assault Accusers In New Song: 'I’m Up Against Some Lyin’ A*s B*tches'

T.I. Takes Aim At Sexual Assault Accusers In New Song: 'I’m Up Against Some Lyin’ A*s B*tches'

T.I., the self-proclaimed “King of the South” for well over a decade, says that he first asked the OGs, including Scarface, Outkast, and Bun B, to give him permission to run with the title.

In an exclusive interview with AllHipHop, Tip reflected o nthe reactions he received from the aforementioned emcees, saying that if they rejected his new moniker, he would’ve never used it.

“The first time I called myself the ‘King of the South,’ I went and asked everybody that I had access to for their blessings,” he said. “I asked Big Boi from OutKast, I asked [André] 3000, Cee-Lo, Khujo, T-Mo and [Big] Gipp [of Goodie Mobb], 8 Ball, MJG, Bun B and Scarface. So I asked all of them how they felt about it, what they thought about it and all of them for the most part gave me their blessings.”

“I remember Scarface said, ‘Hell yeah go ahead. I don’t wanna be king! You could have that shit.’ Then I asked 3000 and he hit me with, ‘What does it really mean to be king?’ And Big Boi said, ‘Aight now, be careful what you ask for because you known as the king, they gon’ put the target on your back. Ain’t nobody going to be trying to help you out with nothing. So just be careful what you ask for.’

T.I. is ready to put an end to his regal nickname with his 12th and final album, Kill The King

Today in Hip-Hop History: T.I. Drops His Debut Album ‘I’m Serious’ 23 Years Ago

TodayinHip HopHistory:T.I.DropsHisDebutAlbum'I'mSerious'YearsAgo

On this date in 2001, the self-proclaimed “King Of The South,” rapper/actor T.I., released his first album entitled I’m Serious.

Produced by several behind the board legends including ATL’s DJ Toomp, Jazze Pha, Lil Jon, The Neptunes, and few others, with features from Pharrell, Bone Crusher, Too Short, Pastor Troy, and many other South and West icons still did not garner him the commercial success that he would eventually be recognized for his music as well as in the cinema.

With this being T.I.’s lowest-selling album, Arista Records made the heartbreaking move to cut him from the label after selling less than 300K copies. This was the obvious silver lining in the cloud because T.I has not only went on to become one of the top-selling Hip-Hop artists to date but has also made his mark on the silver screen starring along with the likes of Denzel Washington, Ruby Dee, and many others.

Regardless of what the critics have to say, salute to T.I. for offering up this underground Hip-Hop classic!

Happy 44th Birthday To The “King Of The South” T.I.!

T.I. Sued for Reportedly Fooling Investors Through Cryptocurrency

Happy born day to Mr.Clifford Harris Jr. aka T.I.!

Throughout the years, T.I. has become one of the most relevant forces in hip-hop. Besides his music career, T.I. is an actor, spokesperson for the AKOO clothing, and the leader of Hustle Gang, which includes Iggy Azealia, B.O.B, Young Dro, and more.

Today, we celebrate Tip’s 44th birthday by showcasing jams that highlights his growth as an artist.

Fuck Da City Up Feat. Young Jeezy
If T.I. wanted to, his mixtape game would be a lot more extensive. The title track of his first mixtape Fuck Da City Up was finally able to breathe, even if it was an online release. But since the tapes are beneath him, you got to appreciate when he makes a collabo with Young Jeezy pop off.

Rubberband Man
Before he was the kang, Tip was known as the “Rubber Band Man.” The hit put T.I. on the map around the country. It was one of the few tracks that initiated Grand Hustle into the game.

U Don’t Know Me
Mr. Harris kept his head in the game. Though there were a few signature hits to come off Urban Legendz, “You Don’t Know Me” went hard and made room for tracks like “ASAP” and “Motivation” to gain heavy momentum amongst the masses.

What You Know
The Kang of the South put himself on hip-hop’s pedestal with his smash single “What You Know.” The Southern anthem highlighted his King album and was on repeat in every major hip-hip radio station in the country.

Big Shit Poppin (Do It)
T.I. wanted to showcase his battle against himself for his fifth album T.I. vs. TIP. “Big Shit Poppin (Do It)” hit the Billboard Top 100 chart at #9, eventually obtaining certified gold.

Live Your Life Feat. Rihanna
Paper Trails put T.I. at a plateau with the success of the hit single “Live Your Life” with Roc Nation’s Rihanna. The memorable O-Zone sample created an international buzz that had new fans copping the album just the hear the Tip and RiRi collaboration.

Welcome To The World Feat. Kanye West & Kid Cudi
His film ‘Takers’ with Michael Ealy and Paul Walker hit theatres yet he still made the effort to release his sixth studio album, No Mercy. Though his single “I’m Back” sparked some hype, his collaboration with G.O.O.D Music soldiers Kanye West and Kid Cudi remains one of the highlights of the album.

Pimp Feat. Pimp C & Too $hort
For a mixtape, Fuck Da City Up featured work from huge names in the game like Dr. Dre, Hit-Boy and Young Jeezy. Too $hort spit along with an appearance by Pimp C in their collaboration “Pimp.”

Today in Hip-Hop History: T.I. Dropped His Second Album ‘Trap Muzik’ 21 Years Ago

tumblr b0f444fa7b4e1730e942d0fd07906eaf 9d6420b5 1280

On this date in Hip Hop History, the self-proclaimed “King of the South” released his sophomore album aptly titled Trap Muzik on Atlantic Records in conjunction with Tip’s newly formed Grand Hustle Records.

This was a big improvement from T.I.’s I’m Serious debut release, with guest appearances from the likes of Jazzy Pha, 8 Ball & MJG, Bun B, and T.I’s “In-house” producer DJ Toomp executive producing the album. Hit singles such as “Rubber Band Man,” “Be Easy,” and “Let’s Get Away” led T.I. to his first certified platinum plaque.

Also, T.I. introduced the concept of the “trap” in the album, revealing, “It’s another outlook on the trap. Before, trappin’ was cool, but now trappin’ ain’t cool. It’s necessary for some, but no, it ain’t cool – even if you are a hustler. All the hustlers I know – sellin’ dope is the last thing they wanna do. If you a real hustler, you gon’ move on to bigger and better things.”

Salute to T.I., Jason Geter, DJ Toomp, and everyone else involved with this timeless piece of Hip Hop history!

n this date in 2009, T. I. was forced to boot fellow Atlanta rapper off of his Grand Hustle Records roster because it was revealed that the up and coming artist was an informant for the DEA.

The online tabloid The Smoking Gun first broke the story, when legal documents were uncovered that showed that Alfamega was an informant for the Drug Enforcement Agency during the trial of a heroin trafficker.

T.I., who himself went to jail because pf one of his bodyguards working with authorities in his publicized 2007 gun-buying asting, in which the Grand Hustle CEO had to serve a year and a day behind bars. Needless to say, T.I. was more than livid when this information was discovered about his newest artist.

“Even though all of our artists and employees are asked by us to be honest and open about their paat history, at no time did Alfa disclose to me or Grand Hustle was has now appeared on the media,” T.I. read in a statement on MisInfo.TV. “He essentially deceived us…”

No one in Hip Hop has ever heard from the rapper known as Alfamega ever again.

T.I. Honored With Prestigious Phoenix Award from Mayor Andre Dickens & City of Atlanta

T.I. Honored With Prestigious Phoenix Award from Mayor Andre Dickens & City of Atlanta

If there’s one person who deserves an award from the City of Atlanta, it’s none other than T.I.

A few days ago, the 43-year-old was honored with the prestigious Phoenix Award from the City of Atlanta for his contributions to both philanthropy and entertainment, presented by Mayor Andre Dickens, former Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Senator Raphael Warnock. 

The beautiful moment was captured and uploaded to T.I.’s YouTube page, which boasts 4.25 million subscribers. The beauty lies in the award being presented during T.I.’s closing shows with the Atlanta Pops at Atlanta Symphony Hall. Footage of these symphony performances went viral when Tip’s daughter Heiress stole the show, performing “Live Your Life” alongside her father.  

The Phoenix Award is the highest one can receive from the City of Atlanta, which makes perfect sense given Tip recently cut the ribbon on over 140 units of low-income housing in his neighborhood of Bankhead in Atlanta. He also recently hosted his 18th annual turkey drive, giving out over a thousand turkeys. He partnered with Atlanta Mission, Project Pinnacle, and Next Level Boys Academy to host three more holiday drives. This was in conjunction with his non-profits Us or Else and Harris Community Works.

On the music tip, T.I. recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of his standout album Trap Muzik, which coined an entire sub-genre of Hip-Hop.

Congrats T.I. on all your achievements!
