Rapper Fat Joe's Sex With Minor Case Takes A Shocking Turn With Lawyer's Arrest

The attorney leveling scathing claims against Fat Joe on behalf of a former employee just got himself in trouble with the law.

Tyrone Blackburn, the lawyer representing Terrance Dixon, has been arrested for assault just days after he filed a $20 million lawsuit against the rapper.

The legal complaint featured numerous accusations, including claims of Fat Joe being a pedophile and allegedly attempting to murder 50 Cent.

Fat Joe's issues with Dixon took a shocking turn on Wednesday, June 25, when his accuser's attorney was arrested. A rep for the New York Police Department confirmed the news, noting Blackburn was taken into custody in the morning and booked for assault.

Although he was recently arrested, the lawyer's legal drama started last month following a violence report. According to the rep, the incident occurred on the night of May 12 when Blackburn met a 66-year-old messenger hired by the rapper's attorney, Joe Tacopina.

The older messenger had been hired to serve Blackburn with a complaint in Joe's case, but the legal rep did not react positively to the news. TMZ reported that he allegedly jumped into his car, pushed it in reverse, and backed up, hitting the server in the leg and causing a minor injury.

Blackburn's arrest comes days after he filed a scathing lawsuit against Fat Joe on behalf of his former employee, Dixon. They sued the rapper for $20 million, alleging that he was a pedophile and owed Dixon money for co-written songs, among other claims.

Before this lawsuit became public, the rapper's attorney, Tacopina, alleged that Blackburn had initially sent a demand letter for $3 million. The lawyer claimed his client was owed the sum for allegedly co-writing music with the Hip-Hop star. However, Tacopina brushed off the claim.

The 54-year-old's legal rep noted that Blackburn did not accept his refusal and sent another demand letter with pedophile allegations. These letters pushed Tacopina to file a defamation and extortion lawsuit against Blackburn and Dixon, leading to the May incident between the older messenger and the lawyer.

The Blast covered Dixon's allegations against the hip-hop star, reporting that he accused him of having inappropriate relationships with minors. The lawsuit alleged that at least two underage females had sexual relationships with the rapper, while the third was in a romantic relationship with him.

According to the claims, a 16-year-old girl of Dominican descent once offered to perform oral sex and other sexual acts on the rapper if he paid her clothing and phone bills. He also had an alleged sexual affair with a 15-year-old Caucasian girl after meeting her at a concert abroad.

Dixon accused Joe of paying for this girl's BBL because her body wasn't fully developed, claiming he regularly flew her to New York and Miami. He added that the Caucasian girl had grown up to marry a professional athlete. As for the third underage, the rapper fell head over heels for the Latina.

Dixon claimed the hitmaker was so in love with the underage Latina girl that a sexual relationship between them began when she was 15. He allegedly paid all her expenses and took her aboard whenever he was on tour.

Additionally, Fat Joe bought the girl a condo near where he and his wife lived in Florida and allegedly considered leaving his partner to move in with the young girl. Dixon claimed the rapper was not only a pedophile but had also forced him to sleep with women before an audience.

However, Joe's corner has vehemently denied the allegations. His legal rep, Tacopina, slammed the lawsuit as "lies intended to damage his reputation and force a settlement through public pressure." The rapper also received 50 Cent's support after he was name-dropped in the legal drama.

Besides accusing Fat Joe of pedophilia, Dixon claimed the entertainer had considered murdering 50 Cent during their feud in the early 2000s. His allegations, per Hiphopdx, read:

"[Fat Joe] engaged in a calculated and premeditated conspiracy to murder rapper Curtis Jackson. But 50 Cent was surrounded by 'Navy Seal' type security, and the would-be assassins were afraid to make the attempt."

Despite Dixon's claims, 50 Cent called BS in a heated social media post defending Fat Joe. The "Candy Shop" hitmaker stressed that he did not believe the allegations, labeling them "baseless" and "not credible."

He also sympathized with Fat Joe, noting he did not deserve "the public scrutiny and damage to his reputation."
