Atlanta radio personality Big Tigger announced he is stepping away from the microphone as his ongoing personal issues and legal battles continue to dominate public attention.
In a statement posted online, the longtime V-103 host said he plans to focus on his family and efforts to clear his name. He explicitly denied abuse allegations made by his estranged wife, Alicia Brown.
The announcement comes as Brown remains embroiled in a highly public dispute with Tigger that includes his recent arrest, claims of infidelity and domestic abuse, and a separate defamation lawsuit filed against him by his V-103 co-host, Francesca Amiker.
Details of the Announcement
Tigger’s decision to step back marks a significant pause for the veteran broadcaster, known for his work on Atlanta’s hip-hop and R&B airwaves. His message emphasized prioritizing personal matters over his public role during this challenging period.
The situation escalated into public view following Brown’s accusations, which have led to Tigger’s arrest and drawn widespread media coverage. The conflict also involves allegations of infidelity alongside the abuse claims. Compounding the issues, co-host Francesca Amiker has filed a defamation lawsuit against Tigger, adding another layer of legal pressure to his professional and personal life.
Tigger has maintained his innocence regarding the abuse allegations as he seeks to resolve these matters privately with his family. No timeline was given for his return to radio.
