Hip-hop power couple T.I. (Clifford Harris) and Tiny (Tameka Harris), renowned for their music careers and reality TV appearances, are facing serious allegations of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2005. The claims are detailed in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

According to the complaint, a Jane Doe accuses the celebrity couple of luring her from a nightclub to a Los Angeles hotel room, where she alleges they assaulted her after giving her a spiked drink. The incident, said to have occurred almost 18 years ago, has resurfaced due to California's Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act.

The plaintiff, an Air Force veteran in her early twenties at the time, claims to have met T.I. and Tiny through an associate named “Caviar,” whom she encountered at a party at rapper Coolio’s house. She asserts that she was separated from her group and ended up alone with the couple and two other women.

The lawsuit provides graphic details of the alleged abuse, accusing T.I. of coercing the plaintiff into watching pornographic material and engaging in inappropriate acts. Tiny is alleged to have been involved in restraining the accuser and participating in the assault.

The accuser describes feeling extremely ill during the assault and asserts that she was escorted out of the hotel room the next morning while in "serious pain."

In a statement to TMZ, T.I. and Tiny deny the accusations, stating that they have consistently refuted these claims for the past three years. They characterize the allegations as "fake claims" and express confidence in their innocence, stating, "We will not be shaken down, and we look forward to our day in court."

The lawsuit adds to the ongoing legal challenges faced by the celebrity couple, who have been outspoken against previous accusations.
