TI and Tiny Lose Punitive Damages in OMG Girlz IP Trial

In the latest chapter of their multi-year IP battle with MGA Entertainment over the OMG Girlz name and likeness, TI and Tiny were not awarded any punitive damages, keeping their total recovery at $17.9 million in compensatory damages. The jury ruled MGA did not act with malice, after a prior verdict and court rulings had involved a separate, larger punitive damages dispute related to the L.O.L. Surprise! O.M.G. dolls and a 2024 $71.5 million verdict that was partially dismissed by a judge. The case continues to hinge on alleged misappropriation of the OMG Girlz brand.

T.I. and Tiny's Lawsuit Against Toy Maker Ends in Defeat

T.I. and Tiny have lost their $100 million copyright infringement lawsuit against MGA Entertainment, the makers of L.O.L. Surprise! dolls. The lawsuit alleged that the dolls stole the name, likeness, and trade dress of OMG Girlz, a pop trio founded by Tiny in 2009. After a mistrial in January, the case went back to trial this month, and the jury ruled in favor of MGA Entertainment in less than two hours. MGA CEO Isaac Larian called the lawsuit a "shakedown."
