Big Tigger will not face criminal charges following a domestic dispute that led to his arrest earlier this year.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office has declined to prosecute the former Rap City host, effectively bringing the criminal case against him to an end.
The decision comes months after Tigger’s wife, Alicia Brown, made serious allegations stemming from an alleged May altercation.
Brown accused Tigger of slamming her head into a door during the incident, claiming she suffered injuries that required stitches. She also alleged that Tigger pressured her to deny what happened and warned that she would “lose everything” if she spoke about it.
Brown further claimed that Tigger later cut off her access to the home’s Ring cameras and remote gate controls.
Tigger was arrested by the Sandy Springs Police Department on June 20 and faced aggravated assault and child cruelty allegations. He was subsequently released on a $10,000 bond.
Brown was also granted a temporary protective order in June. The order required Tigger to stay 200 yards away from Brown and their children and prohibited contact with them. She was additionally granted temporary custody of the minor children and exclusive use of the family home.
Tigger denied the allegations and said he intended to fight the case.
“For the past 30+ years, I have built my life around relationships and community,” Tigger said at the time. “Those who know me know the man, father, husband, and friend I have been throughout my life.”
In July, Tigger announced that he was stepping away from his morning radio broadcast, saying he wanted to prioritize his family while his legal team handled his ongoing personal affairs.
“My personal life is in the public eye and has become the subject of overwhelming speculation and misinformation,” he said in announcing the decision.
The legal developments came as the dispute continued to spill into the public eye. Tigger’s co-host Francesca Amiker also filed a federal defamation lawsuit against Brown.
Despite the controversy, Tigger remains best known for his longtime television career, including hosting BET’s Rap City: Tha Basement and 106 & Park, before becoming a prominent radio personality.
Now, with prosecutors declining to move forward, the criminal case stemming from the allegations is no longer headed toward prosecution.
