T.I. Calls Out His Business Partner Over Scales 925 Issues
There’s trouble brewing for “trouble man” T.I. over his downtown Atlanta restaurant.
The rapper who opened Scales 925’s doors in April 2015 is facing a lawsuit alongside his business partner Charles Hughes after disgruntled employees claimed Charles improperly paid them and gave them checks that bounced.
Via WSB TV:
“Hughes used Scales LLC to create bank accounts for payroll. However, Hughes would deposit money from SCALES 925 into his personal account causing payroll checks to bounce,” the suit claims.
“Hughes has made fraudulent statements to restaurant employees concerning the hours the employees worked at SCALES 925. For example, Hughes used a time and billing software call ALOHA for keeping track of employee hours.
Additionally, the business partners owe over $1 million in unpaid rent…
TIP has responded by saying that he has no other business dealings with Charles, and realizes that he has made a mistake.
