Attorney for Fat Joe’s Ex-Hypeman Arrested in Process Server Assault Case

A high-profile legal battle between Grammy-nominated rapper Fat Joe and his former hype man Terrance “T.A.” Dixon has escalated amid explosive allegations and arrests. Dixon filed a $20 million federal lawsuit accusing Fat Joe of sexual exploitation, including coerced sex acts and relationships with underage girls, as well as financial fraud and labor exploitation through uncredited songwriting contributions. Fat Joe has vehemently denied these allegations, labeling them as false and defamatory, and filed a countersuit accusing Dixon and his attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, of extortion and defamation. In a dramatic development, Blackburn was arrested in June 2025 for allegedly assaulting a court process server with his vehicle in an apparent attempt to evade service of legal documents related to the extortion lawsuit. Fat Joe’s legal team condemned Blackburn’s actions as part of a pattern of misconduct and manipulation, asserting confidence that the rapper’s name will be cleared and justice served. The controversy highlights a complex, bitter dispute involving serious criminal allegations, legal retaliation, and accusations of manipulation within the hip-hop industry.
