Rapper T.I. and his wife, Xscape singer Tiny Harris, have successfully had a sexual assault lawsuit filed against them dismissed. The case, which was initiated by a Jane Doe in 2021, has been a significant legal battle for the couple over the past few years.
According to All Hip Hop, the dismissal was officially filed on Thursday, August 8, with the United States District Court of California. Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett approved the order of dismissal, effectively closing the case.
A representative for the couple told All Hip Hop that the court sided with T.I. and Tiny, concluding that Jane Doe did not have any viable claims. “As Tip and Tameka stated three years ago, these allegations are some of the many false, salacious allegations thrown out into the media in a cheap attempt to extort money from them,” the rep said.

The lawsuit’s dismissal was issued without prejudice, meaning that while the current case is closed, the plaintiff could theoretically refile in the future. However, this outcome marks a significant victory for the couple, who have consistently denied the allegations since they first surfaced.
The lawsuit was one of several allegations of sexual misconduct brought against the couple in recent years, all of which T.I. and Tiny have vehemently denied.
