Multiple Victims Accuse T.I. & Tiny Of Sex Trafficking & Seducing Minors, Allegedly
Source: Prince Williams / Getty One of Hip-Hop’s most high profile couples have A LOT of explaining to do. The king and queen of Grand Hustle are being characterized as sexual predators. As spotted on Hip Hop N More T.I. and Tiny Harris are having a very rough week online. On Tuesday, January 26 Sabrina Peterson claimed the “Swagger Like Us” rapper had once held a gun to her head years back.

Chris Tucker Says He Was Paid $10K For ‘Friday,’ Casts Doubt On Smokey’s Return
Source: Laurent KOFFEL / Getty Everyone knows that Ice Cube’s comedy classic, Friday, is responsible for helping launch the career of Chris Tucker into another stratosphere, and though Tucker gave a million dollar performance as “Smokey,” his actual payday for the role was barely enough to pay the rent for a few months in LA. During an interview with Shannon Sharpe for Sharpe’s podcast Club Shay Shay, Tucker revealed that he was paid peanuts and almonds for his breakout role in the 90’s cannabis cult classic. Gleefully reminiscing on his days filming the movie, Tucker explained that not only was the movie shot in less than a month, but that he only got 10 stacks for his iconic performance. “It’s one of those things — it was just a small movie. We filmed it in 20 days. I got about $10K for ...
