Longtime hip-hop personality and former Rap City host Big Tigger is facing legal trouble after being arrested in Georgia over the weekend.
According to police records obtained by TMZ, Big Tigger, whose real name is Darian Morgan, was taken into custody Saturday in Fulton County, Georgia. Authorities reportedly charged him with battery and third-degree cruelty to children.
Records indicate that Morgan was later released after posting a $10,000 bond.
At this time, officials have not publicly released detailed information regarding the allegations that led to the arrest. As a result, many questions surrounding the circumstances of the case remain unanswered.
The charges have quickly generated discussion across social media, where fans expressed surprise at the news involving one of hip-hop media’s most recognizable figures.
Big Tigger became a household name during the late 1990s and early 2000s as the host of BET’s iconic music program Rap City. The show played a major role in hip-hop culture, helping introduce audiences to some of the genre’s biggest stars while providing a platform for emerging artists.
In addition to his television career, Morgan has remained active in radio and entertainment, building a reputation as one of the most respected personalities in hip-hop media.
Legal experts note that an arrest does not constitute guilt, and the charges remain allegations unless proven in court. Morgan has not publicly commented on the case at the time of publication.
As the legal process moves forward, additional details are expected to emerge through court proceedings and official statements from authorities.
The case remains ongoing.
