Big Tigger is speaking out after his arrest last weekend, posting an unequivocal denial on Instagram while his legal situation grows more serious by the day.
The veteran V-103 morning host and former face of BET’s “Rap City: Tha Basement” was booked into the Fulton County Jail on June 20 on charges of aggravated battery and third-degree cruelty to children, posting $10,000 in surety bonds before walking out the same day. His post-arrest Instagram statement, posted to his bigtiggershow account, reads:
“I unequivocally deny every allegation that has been made against me. Because this is an active legal matter, I am limited in what I can say. What I can say is that I have complete confidence in the facts and in the legal process.”
The case traces back to a May 9 argument at the couple’s Sandy Springs home that his wife, Alicia Brown, described to investigators. According to the arrest warrant obtained by 11Alive, the dispute started over text messages between Big Tigger and a female co-worker and escalated physically when he allegedly pushed Brown into an office door, causing a deep laceration above her left eye that required numerous stitches.
The warrant noted that visible disfigurement above the eye remained a month later. A Ring camera reportedly captured the shove.
The cruelty-to-children charge stems from the couple’s 13-year-old son being inside the home and able to hear everything from his upstairs bedroom during the confrontation.
