T.I. & Tiny play hardball after the friend requests more time...

From In Touch

Rapper T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny’ Cottle,” asked a L.A. judge to shut down their former friend Sabrina Peterson’s plea to postpone their upcoming trial, In Touch can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, T.I. (real name: Clifford Harris) and Tiny, 49, scoffed at Sabrina’s request to push the December 10 trial to at least June 10, 2025.

In a recent motion, Sabrina claimed that she hired a new legal team in September. Her new attorneys said they needed additional time to review the case, develop case strategy and adequately prepare for trial or a possible settlement.

The new legal team said, “The practical reality is that [Sabrina] is in a position where the most basic necessary groundwork to prepare for trial remains incomplete — her lawyers do not even have the case file that predecessor counsel said he would provide.”

T.I., 44, and Tiny said the request should be denied and the trial date not be moved. The couple said Sabrina had failed to prosecute the case, had failed to conduct any discovery, failed to appear at hearings and has “continually flouted this court’s order to pay” them $96,702 in attorney fees.

The duo’s powerhouse attorney, Andrew Brettler, noted, “Moreover, for months, [Sabrina] has taken to social media to flout this court’s orders and express her desire to get her day in court. Now, years after filing her complaint, and on the eve of trial, she is suddenly unprepared for trial, requests that the trial be continued for six months, and requests this Court to reopen discovery.”

Andrew added, “[Sabrina] cannot have it both ways. The discovery deadlines have lapsed. She has continuously failed to prosecute the action. Any such “emergency” is of [Sabrina’s] own making, and the application [to postpone the trial] should be denied accordingly.”
