T.I. and his wife, singer Tameka “Tiny” Harris, are the subject of an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department, according to USA TODAY. The couple strongly denies the allegations, and no charges have been filed.
LAPD public information officer Mike Lopez told USA TODAY on Monday that an investigation had been launched but that no further details were available. According to reports, two women filed police complaints, one with the LAPD and one with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The couple’s attorney, Steve Sadow, said the Harrises “have not spoken to or been contacted” by law enforcement. He said the LAPD accuser remains anonymous, which prevents the couple from responding to her claims, and that they have no details about the Las Vegas complaint.
A woman named Rachelle reportedly filed the Las Vegas report, alleging an incident in 2010. The LAPD complaint comes from an unnamed accuser who alleges an incident in 2005. Both claims are allegations only, and the couple denies them.
These are not the first allegations. Attorney Tyrone Blackburn has said he represents multiple people who have made claims against the couple, and several other accusers have come forward since the start of the year. Blackburn is also representing a woman named Sabrina, who has sued the couple, among other claims, for slander and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The couple’s side disputes her claims.
In a statement, the couple’s attorney said they “deny in the strongest possible terms these unsubstantiated and baseless allegations” and that they are confident a full and fair investigation will lead to no charges. Sadow also called on accusers to identify themselves publicly so the claims can be addressed.
T.I. addressed the allegations on social media in January, saying, “I ain’t never raped nobody.”
