Rrapper T.I. and wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris are $71 million richer.
A jury agreed with the couple, who sued MGA Entertainment for violating their intellectual property rights. The company released a line of dolls that appeared to copy the likeness of their teen pop group, OMG Girlz that featured Tiny’s daughter.
The jurors in a federal court in California award T.I and Tiny $18 million in damages and $53 million worth of punitive damages.
This had been the couple’s third trip to court. The first time ended in a mistrial. The Supreme Court basically overturned the second trial, which was won by MGA Entertainment.
