T.I., an American rapper, has announced his retirement from live performances
T.I. has announced his retirement from live performances.
The rapper, Clifford Harris Jr., who is 44 years old, has decided to discontinue his performances due to his lack of “need for the money.” In Atlanta, his final performance will be at the Jingle Ball program of 93.1 The Beat on December 19.
He expressed his gratitude to the audience for offering him his final working engagement on the ‘Rari at 2’ program of 96.1 The Beat, stating, “I am no longer in need of the money and will not be performing.”
“I have no desire to continue doing it.” I am no longer interested in being compensated for my activities, which involve hopping and exerting myself for the sake of entertainment.
When asked whether he would answer the phone for other impending gigs, he responded, “Of course, I will inform them that I will not be performing.”
In spite of this, he did acknowledge that he would return to perform, but only on his own terms.
The Jingle Ball show at 93.1 The Beat will also feature performances by Tinashe, Sexyy Red, T-Pain, Saweetie, Khalid, and The Kid LAROI.
One of the reasons T.I. no longer requires the income from gigs is that he and his wife Tiny were recently awarded $71 million in damages after winning their lawsuit against toy company MGA Entertainment. They had accused MGA of violating the intellectual property rights of their OMG Girlz music group with their L.O.L. product. To my surprise, there are O.M.G. figurines.
When the verdict was announced, the couple expressed their satisfaction with the fact that “justice has been served.”
According to Rolling Stone magazine, the lyricist of “Live Your Life” stated, “I believe that justice was served.” I believe that it is a testament to the resilience and tirelessness of my wife, daughter, and nieces. We are ecstatic that we were able to prevail and advocate for creatives and our intellectual property, which large corporations appear to believe is public domain and available for anyone to use.
Jurors granted the couple $17.9 million in real damages and $53.6 million in punitive damages. Tiny, 49, acknowledged that they were not anticipating such a settlement.
“I mean, wow,” she exclaimed. They accomplished more than I believed they would.
I would have been content with any outcome. They provided us with an abundance of blessings that exceeded our expectations.
The jury in California found 13 L.O.L. after a three-week trial. To my surprise, The name, image, and visage of T.I. and Tiny’s OMG Girlz band were misappropriated by O.M.G. dolls, which had “infringed on the trade dress.”
OMG Girlz, which was founded by the couple in 2009, consisted of Tiny’s daughter Zonnique ‘Star’ Pullins, Bahja ‘Beauty’ Rodriguez, and Breaunna ‘Babydoll’ Womack. The couple claimed that seven L.O.L. Surprise! dolls had imitated the group’s appearance at “very specific public events or in publicized photos.”
The founder of MGA, Isaac Larian, had referred to the duo as “extortionists” and maintained that OMG Girlz had not been involved in the design of their dolls.
