Now Dixon's attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, says he and his client are afraid to come to court...
From AllHipHop
A former hype man for Fat Joe and his lawyer say they’re too scared to show up in person for the rap star’s lawsuit, claiming threats have them dodging court and pushing for Zoom instead.
Attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn says he and his client, Terrance “T.A.” Dixon, will only do depositions remotely because of what he calls “endless death threats and harassment” that he blames on Fat Joe and his alleged “thugs” and “goons.”
“Mr. Dixon has received endless death threats and harassment from [Fat Joe] and [Fat Joe’s] thugs and goons. These threats are very serious, and Mr. Dixon and I have taken many steps to ensure his safety.”
Blackburn claims Dixon is getting hit with disturbing Instagram messages, including one that allegedly shows Dixon’s elderly grandmother walking out of her building alone.
He says other messages carry lines like “You Food we gonna eat” and “Im giving a buck 50 thats my word,” street language he frames as serious threats, not just online trolling.
Blackburn told the judge there’s no way it’s safe for him or Dixon to sit for in‑person questioning in New York, and says they’ll only appear by video.The ruling is pending
