Longtime Atlanta radio personality and former BET Rap City host Big Tigger, whose legal name is Darian Morgan, has been arrested on charges of aggravated battery and cruelty to children following an alleged domestic incident in Georgia.
According to reports, Morgan was taken into custody by the Sandy Springs Police Department and later released on bond. The case has drawn widespread attention due to his high-profile career in broadcasting and entertainment.
Alleged Domestic Incident Under Investigation
Court documents indicate that the charges stem from an alleged altercation involving Morgan and his wife at their home. Investigators claim the dispute escalated into physical violence, resulting in injuries that reportedly required medical treatment.
Authorities also allege that the couple’s child was present in the home during the incident, leading to the additional charge related to cruelty to children.
The allegations remain under investigation, and no conviction has been reached. As with all criminal cases, Morgan is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
Big Tigger Responds
Before news of the arrest became public, Morgan addressed circulating rumors during his radio show and on social media, stating that the allegations against him were “false” and denying any wrongdoing.
His legal team has not publicly released further details regarding the charges.

Big Tigger rose to national prominence as the host of BET’s Rap City, where he interviewed some of hip-hop’s biggest stars. He has since become a familiar voice on Atlanta radio and serves as an in-game host for the Atlanta Hawks.
The arrest has sparked significant discussion among fans and industry observers, many of whom are awaiting additional information as the legal process unfolds.
What Happens Next?
The case is expected to proceed through the Georgia court system in the coming months. Prosecutors and defense attorneys will have an opportunity to present evidence, and further details may emerge as proceedings continue.
