Speaking to Rolling Stone via FaceTime after the verdict, T.I. said “justice was served” with $71 million jury award
“They were the ones that came and ripped us off, and I guess [they] expected us to not have the audacity to stand up and speak for ourselves”
As previously reported, this is the Grammy-winning duo’s third attempt to sue: The initial trial, held in January of last year, ended in a mistrial when jurors heard barred testimony accusing the company of cultural appropriation. The second time, some months later, resulted in an MGA Entertainment victory; however, a June 2023 Supreme Court ruling allowed for the case to be retried, when it was deemed that consumer confusion about a product should carry more weight than previously regarded in infringement cases.
