Rap tycoon T.I.‘s jeweler is suing him for $700,000 for jewels he reportedly forgot to pay for.
The jeweler, Aydin & Co, of Atlanta, says they delivered an 18.5 karat white gold bracelet, a ring and yellow gold rosary to T.I. who paid down $20,000 toward the purchase in 2014. The jewels were Christmas gifts for his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris.
According to documents obtained by gossip tabloid TMZ, T.I. never paid the $44,000 he still owes.
This isn’t the first time Aydin & Co. has threatened legal action against T.I.
Jewelers are notorious for filing frivolous lawsuits to force rappers to pay up.
The lawsuits are then withdrawn and the rappers continue doing business with the same jewelers who allow them to purchase jewels with little to no money down and easy payments.
TMZ — That’s just the tip of the iceberg. According to the lawsuit, during the decade T.I. was one of its shoppers, he stiffed them out of more than $400k. All tolled, Aydin’s gunning for T.I. to the tune of $700k.
T.I. says the lawsuit is BS.
