Judge Orders Increased $71M Payout for T.I. and Tiny as MGA Faces Penalties for Delaying OMG Girlz Compensation

Hip-hop icon Clifford “T.I.” Harris and his spouse Tameka “Tiny” Harris have secured a significant win over MGA Entertainment, with U.S. District Judge James V. Selna affirming their $71.4 million jury award. Additionally, MGA must pay 3.972% annual interest on this amount, amplifying their victory. Notably, the company has yet to settle, accruing further interest. This landmark case underscores the protection of Black creativity and the potential for smaller entities to defend their intellectual property against corporate giants, setting a vital precedent for the creative industry.
