Tiny Harris got herself into some hot water on Twitter when she posted a GoFundMe link for Trey Songz Bodyguard who is locked up in Dubai.
Tiny took to her Instagram and asked her followers to donate funds to help Cornell “Champ” return to the United states from Dubai.
Here is what happened:
The bodyguard’s mother and the fundraiser’s creator, Marysia Bryant Mike, claimed Champ had been locked up in the United Arab Emirates city since Aug. 31. Her details alleged that the 40-year-old bodyguard was sentenced to serve one year in Dubai prison after being arrested for assault.
The case reportedly occurred after Champ defended Trey from “a Jordanian man” while leaving the Palm Jumeirah Hotel. Marysia said the “Na Na” singer and his security were heading out to the club when the Jordanian man came toward the male celeb while “waving his arms around [and] swearing.” Champ apparently thought the man “aggressively” approaching Trey was under the influence. The bodyguard allegedly gave the man “a light slap” after his previous attempts to ward off the Jordanian didn’t work.
Trey and his security team left Dubai two weeks after the incident, but Champ was reportedly arrested when he specifically returned to the desert oasis in late August. It was unclear whether the return was for another work trip, but Marysia said Champ “regularly traveled to Dubai with his clients.”
The heartbroken mother claimed that Dubai police didn’t care about the CCTV footage or witnesses who saw the encounter go down.
She argued that once the Jordanian man pressed charges, the legal case unfairly built against her son.
“I have learned that the police in Dubai will file charges against the first complaint that comes across their desk, which is unfair because it will deny Americans the opportunity to defend themselves. It seems like Cornell is being exploited over there. He has already paid more than $30,000 for housing and legal fees.”
Whitfield spoke on the matter and said:
“I was only doing my job. The man appeared very erratic as if he was drunk or on drugs. I just tapped his face to jolt him out of what he was doing, and it had the right effect. He backed off, and that was the end of the matter.”
“I just want to go home to my family. The whole thing has been a nightmare. I know Lil Kim is very upset at what has happened.”
With all that said, Tiny wanted to help in the situation, she wrote:
“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 loving father who deserves to be with his loved ones. To donate the link is posted on my stories. If everybody do a lil nobody has to do a lot!!! Thank you !!!!!! bring champ home”
Tiny has since deleted her post and it is unclear if Trey posted anything about the incident.
X users found Tiny’s post very odd.

Real question – Why are people who don't live their lives by Dubai's rules vacationing there? What part of vacation sounds like adding new rules would be fun?— GooglerInChief (@R0zzyB0wden) October 24, 2023
