T.I. and Tiny Win $71 Million Lawsuit Against Toy Manufacturer MGA Entertainment

T.I. and Tiny have emerged victorious in their legal battle against toy manufacturer MGA Entertainment, with a jury awarding them a whopping $71 million in damages. The couple filed a lawsuit against the company for allegedly stealing the image and likeness of the OMG Girlz, a musical group they created over a decade ago.

Tiny expressed her gratitude on Instagram Live, thanking the jurors for believing in their story and standing by them throughout the fight. The legal battle, which has been ongoing since 2020, culminated in the jury finding that 15 out of 30 dolls in MGA Entertainment’s “OMG” collection infringed on the group’s trade dress and misappropriated their name, image, and likeness.

T.I. emphasized the importance of fighting for creatives and intellectual property, stating that the verdict was a testament to the resilience of his family. During the trial, members of the OMG Girlz testified in court, while MGA Entertainment’s founder reportedly called the couple and the girl group “extortionists.”

The rapper condemned the company’s tactics, calling them out for trying to paint him as the villain when they were the ones who had allegedly ripped off their intellectual property. Tiny reiterated that they pursued the lawsuit for the city and the culture, emphasizing the importance of standing up for what is right.

The couple’s victory serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting intellectual property and standing up against corporate entities that seek to exploit creatives.
