As a dedicated follower who has witnessed the ups and downs of T.I. and Tiny Harris, their latest victory against MGA Entertainment feels like a well-deserved triumph. Their resilience and determination to protect their intellectual property is truly inspiring.
After engaging in a legal dispute with toy manufacturer MGA Entertainment, rapper T.I. and his wife Tiny Harris have come out victorious. They claimed that MGA had violated their intellectual property rights by creating a doll line called OMG Dolls, which they argued were based on the members of the OMG Girlz group, a band founded by the couple in 2009.
The duo received a total of $71.4 million in compensation, which included $17.8 million for the genuine losses due to the company’s toy sales, and an additional $53.6 million as a punishment for such practices.
On Monday, September 23, as reported by People, Tiny conveyed her joy upon exiting the federal courthouse in Santa Ana, California. She declared that she and her spouse are overjoyed since the long-drawn battle has finally concluded. Furthermore, she expressed gratitude towards the jurors for supporting their narrative and validating that they weren’t deceiving anyone.
After the decision, Tiny conversed with Rolling Stone about their victory and the considerable sum granted to them, expressing, “They showered us with blessings in abundance.
As reported by the source, the jury concluded that more than a dozen OMG Dolls copied their distinctive appearance and unlawfully used the names, images, and likenesses of the band members from the female group, which consisted of Bahja Rodriguez, Breaunna Womack, and Zonnique Pulling, who is Tiny’s eldest daughter.
For quite some time now, Tiny has frequently criticized MGA in public, and as recent as last week, she posted a comparison between photos of girls and their corresponding dolls on Instagram. The caption read, “Is this image looking familiar?
In the court proceedings, T.I. and Tiny alleged that MGA had sold at least seven dolls imitating the OMG Girls’ outfits and hairstyles during particular events, as stated by Rolling Stone. However, the company refuted any misconduct, going so far as to label the well-known family as extortionists.
In a conversation with the media, T.I. characterized MGA’s remarks as patronizing, implying that the company had been able to carry out their actions without opposition for such a long time that they presumed no one would dare question them. He acknowledged his gratitude towards his wife, daughter, and nieces (representing the other girls in the group) for their unyielding and tenacious struggle, and for establishing a precedent against companies that, as he put it, seem to think creative and intellectual properties are up for grabs by anyone.
