2025 seems to be a banner year for T.I. and Tiny Harris. A judge has reinstated their original $53 million dollar payout over the OMG Girlz.

As per Newsweek Magazine a magistrate has reconsidered his original ruling regarding their lawsuit against MGA Entertainment. Back in 2024 the celebrity couple filed a complaint against the toy company claiming they violated the intellectual property of their teen girl group the OMG Girlz with the release of L.O.L. Surprise! O.M.G. dolls. In September a jury ruled that 15 of the dolls in the collection did infringe the recording artists’ image and likeliness; including some of their outfits worn at public events.

Last month U.S. District Judge James Selna voided the $53 million payout citing that the jury did not have adequate evidence to review. Nevertheless, on Monday, Feb. 3 Selna reinstated the original ruling stating that both the defendant and plaintiffs agreed to a jury verdict thus T.I. and Tiny are entitled to the total value of the original claim.

Last week the Grand Hustle couple celebrated the opening of their affordable housing community in Northwest Atlanta. Joined by friends, family and local politicians, the Intrada Westside offers 143 affordable housing units and an additional 25 specifically for homeless youth. The property was once a shopping center. You can apply here.
