Lashon Dixon and T.I.’s Relationship Lasted For 6 Years
The relationship between Lashon and T.I. was one of the rapper’s most-known relationships before he got married. When they began dating in 1995, T.I. was a boy of 15 years old while Lashon was a girl of 16. Considering the closeness of their ages at the time, there was hardly any scandal or outcry.
T.I. was still yet to start his career fully when they started dating. The young couple remained together until 2001, around the time when his career was beginning to pick up. The circumstances under which the couple first met have not been revealed but they were very close for the years they spent together. However, it is no secret that the relationship ended because the rapper was having an affair on the side with Ms. Nikko, which led to a baby.
Before then, when Lashon was 21 in 2000 and T.I. was 20, the pair welcomed their first child together, Messiah Harris, and then a year later, they had their second child, Domani. Sadly, the relationship ended the same year they had their second child.
After their relationship ended, both T.I. and Dixon went on to other relationships. Lashon’s subsequent relationships were not known until June 2012 when she got married to a man known as Teshon Thompson. Many details about Teshon are not available to the public but years after their marriage, the couple still enjoys a great life together.
T.I., on the other hand, got into a few relationships with people like fellow American singer, songwriter, and music producer Ranniqua (Ms. Nikko) whom he dated from 1999 to 2001 and has a daughter with, and then LeToya Luckett whom he dated in 2000. In 2001, the American rapper started dating Tiny Harris whom he later married in 2010, and are still together.
Messiah Harris Is Not Her Only Child With T.I
Messiah Harris is the first child of Lashon and T.I. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia on 2 February 2000 which means he is now 24 years old. His birth did not come easy for his young parents who were still struggling, but they still managed to give him the best.
He was only a child of 2 when his parents ended their relationship, but he grew up having both of them in his life, although it was Lashon who had primary custody of him and his brother.
As stated, Messiah is not the only child between T.I. and Lashon. He has a younger brother, Domani, who was born on March 16, 2001, which means he is now 23 years old. Both the Harris boys are into music and they share a good relationship with both their parents.
Lashon also has two daughters, Niya Thompson and Ajah Joy Thompson, who was born on October 11, 2006. Details about the birth of Niya remain rather hidden, but we know she is her stepdaughter.
On his part, T.I. also has four other kids from a relationship with Ranniqua and his marriage to Tameka Dianne Cottle Harris, who is better known as Tiny Harris. His kids are Zonnique Pullins, Clifford “King” Joseph Harris III, Major Harris, and then Heiress Harris. The rapper had a stillborn child, Leyah Amore Harris, with his wife in 2007.
What Is Lashon Dixon’s Net Worth?
Lashon Dixon’s net worth is currently estimated at $2 million. She has come a long way from a time when she used to depend on her former boyfriend’s child support, as once claimed by the rapper.
She makes her fortune from many things, including her career as a businesswoman and entrepreneur, her work as a talent manager, her TV career, as well as from various endorsement deals.
Dixon is behind Bounce Virgin Hair as well as the Bounce Hair Salon which is into women’s hair products and services. The business has been running since 2018 and has become quite known. Far from her hair business, she reportedly runs a trucking company although details about this are not clear.
As a secretary of a local Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) in Locust Grove, Georgia, where she lives, she is behind the reality TV show, Mother Funders. She is one of the most important cast members of the show with other mothers who try to raise funds for its school as well as other organizations in the United States.
She has hopes of starting her own talent management company but before then, she is the manager for her children who are also talented musicians and producers. That said, it is not clear how much she makes from this role.
With a huge following on social media, Lashon Thompson has also made money through paid partnerships with various brands, including Boombod and Carter’s Caribbean Kitchen.
Does Lashon Dixon Receive Child Support from T.I.?
In 2008 when her kids were a few years old, Lashon Dixon dragged her former boyfriend and rapper to court, asking that she be given more child support for the kids. Prior to that, she was receiving $2000 a month from the rapper, but she insisted that the money was not enough and she now needed $10,000.
The reason behind this, according to her, was that she was finding it hard to take care of the boys with the amount she received from their father.
T.I. argued that the reason why she was finding it hard to live by the money he sends to her was because she refused to get a job and lived solely on what she received as child support. He said he should not be held accountable for his baby mama’s decision not to work towards contributing to the upkeep of the boys.
The rapper also added that the $2000 he gave her every month was not the only thing she got as he also made some payments to help her get her home, automobile, and other financial obligations. He made it known that he was the one taking care of the basic needs of the boys such as medical insurance, private education, clothing, food, and much more.
Lashon Dixon ended up losing the case and T.I. was made to increase the child support from $2,000 to $3,000 instead of the $10,000 that his baby mama asked for.
