T.I. turning movie and comedy career up after retiring from performing - $71 million richer

Rapper T.I. is done performing live, seemingly it looks like it ended when he won a $71 million judgment.

The Why You Wanna rapper was out with Young Dro and his crew Hustle Gang moving around New York City. Although some speculate that he is quitting because of his court ruling. However, let T.I. tell it, he’s doing it because he’s trying to focus on his comedy career. The Southern rhymer has been doing comedy for years now to many people’s surprise.

T.I.’s influx of income could be attributed to his family’s lawsuit win, where dollmaker MGA Entertainment was found guilty of infringing on his teen pop group OMG Girlz brand.

• Meek Mill offers $100,000 reward to investigator who can clear his name in connection to P Diddy

• Yo Gotti's late brother Anthony 'Big Jook' Mims is accused of having ties to Young Dolph's murder

The couple claimed that MGA Entertainment's L.O.L. Surprise! O.M.G. dolls breached the music group the OMG Girlz's intellectual property rights. Tiny posted her Instagram Live outside of a Santa Ana, California federal courthouse and shared the news with her followers. She was surrounded by friends as well.

She captioned the post: "Man we may look crazy cause we been crying tears of joy!! We are so Grateful God. Thank you so much to the jurors first & foremost! We wanted to thank you in person but u guys were gone. To our amazing dream team u guys killed it!! We owe u everything! #JohnKeville #Chante #Rob #BIvory #ErinR too we love yall so much!! #OMGOnErrrrythang!!"

In the video, Tiny revealed that the case has been going on since 2020 and how she is "happy" for it to be over 4 years later. She also took time to thank the jurors for making this decision and "heard" their story.

She said: "It was a fight. It was a hell of a fight. We couldn’t be more happy." She added: "We wanted to thank the jurors for just seeing us through this, and just believing in what we said. They heard our story and they knew we wasn’t lying. It’s amazing."

Amid his recent victory, he’s also announced to TMZ that he’s started filming on a new movie he’s producing titled Monday. T.I. noted that viewers can expect a “whole lotta writing, directing, and producing in his future!!!”

Soon he’ll be making his last appearance on stage. Though T.I. alleged that his final performance would happen in his backyard, this week he mentioned that the 96.1 The Beat radio station’s Jingle Ball holiday concert in Atlanta will mark the end for him.
