Tiny still managed to catch some backlash.

Earlier today, Tiny took to social media to try and drum up support for a cause she seems to care about. As the story goes, R&B singer Trey Songz was in Dubai when a fan approached him and his bodyguard stepped in to prevent any kind of attack. The bodyguard, Cornell Whitfield made physical contact with the man to try and prevent and harm to Songz. But when Whitfield returned to Dubai two months ago he was arrested, as the man he struck had filed a criminal complaint.

Now, Tiny is making a push to help Whitfield get home by sharing a GoFundMe made to help him secure his freedom. "We are asking for your help... $60k is what we are trying to raise to bring Champ back to the states. This situation is unfortunate and he does not deserve to be treated any kind of way for doing his job. He is a family man and a loving father who deserves to be with his loved ones." In the post itself she includes a headline summarizing the situation and on her story provides a link where fans can donate. Check out the full post below.

Unfortunately for Tiny, fans weren't focusing on the cause she was championing. They instead questioned how much she was giving to the cause herself. "So between her, tip and trigga they couldn't give 20k each," one commentor asks. "It’s disrespectful to flex Rolls Royce’s and million Dollar watches and then ask us for 60k," another agrees.

Last month, T.I and Tiny were granted yet another trial in their lawsuit against MGA Entertainment. The suit deals with the company's alleged misuse of Tiny's OMG Girlz, dating back to 2019. The still upcoming trial will be the third held over this lawsuit. The first ended in a mistrial while the second ended with T.I. and Tuny unable to convince the jury of their argument. What do you think of Tiny's post sharing the story of Trey Songz bodyguard? Let us know in the comment section below.
