T.I. Sued After Sound Engineer Was Allegedly Assaulted

Man Sues T.I. After Being Assaulted, Held Captive Over Killer Mike's Chain

An Atlanta sound engineer has filed a lawsuit against T.I. claiming that he was beaten by his associates when they accused him of stealing a chain.

Norris Gresham, an employee of T.I.'s Echo Studios in Atlanta, says he was held captive and assaulted for over 12 hours on September 8, when rapper Killer Mike a.k.a. Mike Bigga could not find his gold diamond-encrusted chain and medallion.


Gresham filed the suit at Fulton County State Court on Monday and names Jonathan Carle, a hip-hop artist known as “Spodee;” Terrance Beasley, also called “Cap;” Cortez Thomas, nicknamed “C Rod;” Nathaniel Josey a.k.a.“Mac Boney;” and Michael “Mike Bigga” Render in the files.

According to the legal documents, Gresham was threatened with a gun before being pushed down a flight of stairs and beaten when the chain suddenly turned up in the ceiling.

The suit also says that Thomas a.k.a. C-Rod used his cellphone to record the attack and forwarded the video to T.I. who “did nothing to stop or prevent the assault.”

T.I. is currently serving an 11-month sentence at an Arkansas state prison.
