TI and Tiny have asked a judge to hold Sabrina Peterson in contempt of court and sanction her $1,000 each day that she doesn't pay them their settlement money. She has been refusing to pay approximately $96,000 in legal fees after she had her lawsuit against them dismissed.
“Despite this court’s repeated orders that [Sabrina] pay [T.I. and Tiny] their statutory attorneys’ fees and costs, [Sabrina] has continuously and willfully refused to do so," the couple's attorneys wrote in a new filing obtained by In Touch Weekly. "Her blatant noncompliance with the orders not only demonstrates a disregard for the authority of this court but also imposes an unfair and ongoing financial burden on [T.I. and Tiny], who have been forced to expend additional resources to recover the attorney fees to which they are rightfully entitled.”

In Peterson's lawsuit against the couple, she accused them of trade libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage. An appeals court dismissed the claims in October 2023. T.I. and Tiny's legal team further wrote: “[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. [Peterson] and her lawyers never had any intention of diligently prosecuting this case.”
