While T.I. and Tiny are encountering some legal wins here and there, they still have to put in more work when it comes to other lawsuits. One of these is a 2021 filing from Sabrina Peterson accusing them of defamation after they denied her accusations of threats and sexual abuse. However, an appeals court dismissed various allegations in June of 2023: trade libel, intentionally inflicted emotional distress, and intentionally negligent tampering with prospective economic advantage. Still, the court did let Peterson continue her pursuit of accountability when it comes to her claims of defamation and false light invasion of privacy.

Now, T.I. and Tiny are asking the judge to dismiss Peterson’s remaining accusations due to how she allegedly disobeyed a court order. Per supposed court documents reportedly obtained by In Touch Weekly, the two posited that she hasn’t paid them around $96,000 in legal fees that she owes them, which they think is on purpose. Sadly, this isn’t the end of the couple’s recent legal battles, although other recent events have seemingly wrapped up with ease. For example, it looks like Tip won’t have to face much further headache over his Atlanta airport arrest in what might’ve been a case of mistaken identity.

Back to this case with T.I., Tiny, and Sabrina Peterson, though: here’s what the duo’s lawyer Andrew Brettler apparently wrote. “She has willfully violated a court order,” the reported court documents supposedly read. “And, while wasting judicial resources, she forced [T.I. and Tiny] to incur significant legal fees defending a litany of claims, most have which have already been thrown out.” “[Peterson] and her attorneys took advantage of the legal system by filing a ‘kitchen sink’ complaint, hoping that the nature of their allegations would attract enough media attention, which would then, in turn, put pressure on [T.I. and Tiny] to settle,” the attorney added. “[Peterson] and her lawyers never had any intention of diligently prosecuting this case.”

Furthermore, this ordered payment comes from an additional October judgement. The judge said that Peterson must cough up around $96,000 after the court dismissed more claims. T.I. and Tiny claim that Peterson boasted on social media about not paying the couple by her due date of January 15. Not only did they argue that their legal battles couldn’t continue until this ordered payment comes through, but they also accused Peterson of abusing the court system by trying to pressure a settlement. They now await a judgement on this motion to dismiss, and continually deny any accusations of defaming Peterson.

Hip hop is a genre that has always been about storytelling, from the struggles of growing up in inner cities to the highs and lows of fame and fortune. However, one story that often goes untold is that of love. Despite the stereotype of hip hop being all about “thug life” and “player” mentalities, there are many hip hop couples who have been together for over a decade, proving that love can indeed conquer all.

We’re looking at five hip hop couples who have maintained a long-lasting relationship. This is despite the challenges that come with fame and fortune. From Jay-Z and Beyoncé, arguably the most powerful couple in hip hop today, to LL Cool J and Simone Smith, who have been together for over 30 years, these couples inspire us all. Through their stories, we’ll see that love in hip hop is not just a cliché. It’s a real and powerful force that can withstand time.

Jay-Z & Beyoncé

Jay-Z and Beyoncé have been a power couple since they first emerged with their romance. They first met when Beyoncé was just 18 years old and working with Destiny’s Child. Jay-Z, who was 30 at the time, was immediately smitten with her. They started dating around 2001 but kept their relationship a secret for a long time. They only appeared together in public in 2004. In 2008, they married in a private ceremony and have been together ever since. Their relationship has not been without its challenges, however. Yet, they have always maintained that their love is strong, and they have worked through their issues. The couple has three children together, and continue to be one of the most iconic couples in hip hop.

T.I. & Tiny

T.I. and Tiny’s relationship has been a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs. They first met in the late 1990s and started dating shortly thereafter. T.I. and Tiny were once close to calling it quits, but they fought for their marriage. They’ve been featured on their own reality shows and often speak about the highs and lows of balancing a marriage in the industry. There have been rumors of infidelity from both parties, over the years. However, they seem to be in a much better place, these days.

Ice-T & Coco

Ice-T and Coco’s love story is a little different from the others on this list. They first met when Coco was working as a model, and Ice-T was already an established rapper and actor. They got married in 2002 and even featured their family on the reality show, Ice Loves Coco. The couple often takes hits on social media for their parenting style, but it’s nothing that the rap icon can’t handle. He emerges to defend his wife and supports her endeavors, in their household and with her career.

Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys

Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys are another power couple in hip hop, with Swizz Beatz being one of the most successful producers in the industry and Alicia Keys being a Grammy-winning artist in her own right. They have two children together, and both continue succeeding in their respective careers. However, their relationship has not been without controversy. There were rumors that Alicia broke up Swizz’s first marriage, but those claims have been adamantly denied. The loving parents often put their romance on display, and it’s clear that the spark hasn’t dissipated all these years later.

LL Cool J & Simone Smith

LL Cool J and Simone Smith’s love story is one of the longest-lasting in hip hop, as they have been together for over 30 years. In 1995, they got married in a private ceremony and have four children together. Simone has even launched her own jewelry line, called “SIS,” worn by celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Kelly Rowland. Additionally, the couple has leaned on one another through Simone’s cancer battle, using her experience to help others in similar situations.
