Rapper T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, secured a massive $71 million payout in their lawsuit against the maker of the popular L.O.L. Surprise! Dolls.
Spotted on TMZ Hip Hop, the “U Don’t Know Me” crafter and his wife got richer after a jury sided with them in their lawsuit against toy company MGA Entertainment following a week-long trial.
According to the lawsuit, the couple claims MGA Entertainment violated the intellectual property rights of their now-defunct girl group, OMG Girlz, which also featured Tiny’s oldest daughter, Zonnique Pullins.
Per TMZ Hip Hop:
The jurors reportedly agreed that “L.O.L. Surprise! O.M.G. dolls” infringed on the trade dress and misappropriated the name, image, and likeness of the all-female group that T.I. and Tiny formed in 2009.
At trial, T.I. and Tiny zeroed in on 7 dolls MGA promoted that they argued had the identical appearance of their OMG Girlz during “very specific public events,” including the image and likeness of Tiny’s oldest daughter, Zonnique Pullins.
Following the decision, Tiny, along with OMG Girlz members Bahja “Beauty” Rodriguez, Breaunna “Babydoll” Womack, and her daughter Zonnique “Star” Pullins, celebrated the massive legal victory that earned them $17,872,359 in real damages and $53,616,759 in punitive damages.

The victory doesn’t necessarily end the beef with MGA. According to Forbes, the company can still appeal the decision.
So, this victory could be short-lived, with all parties heading back to court.
It’s also a big win for the couple who found themselves as the subject of a sexual assault lawsuit earlier this year.
$71 million is a lot of money. We are curious about what the couple does with it, barring MGA not appealing the decision.
