Who are Anthony “Moosa” Tiffith Jr. and Brandon Tiffith?

The two brothers are sons of Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, founder of TDE (home to SZA, Doechii, ScHoolboy Q, and, until recently, Kendrick Lamar). Moosa is president of the label while Brandon (also known as “Big B”) is the chief marketing officer and manager of TDE artist Jay Rock.

What are they accused of?

In December 2024 two women anonymously filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Moosa and Brandon of sexual misconduct. The women’s anonymity were taken away from them on February 1, 2025 when the Tiffith’s legal counsel, Marty Singer, issued a statement naming them. The women, Linda Luna and Ayah Altayri, updated their complaint on February 5 to include an allegation of doxxing.

Both the original and amended complaints accuse the Tiffith brothers of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct (per Rolling Stone). They allege “pervasive culture of sexual harassment within TDE, implicating some of its highest-ranking executives.” Luna also claims she is owed thousands of dollars from TDE, with whom she states she began working for in 2019.

Luna alleges Brandon Tiffith had been drinking alcohol and smoking weed when he attempted to force her into oral sex. The complainant says she was dizzy from the second-hand smoke and that he told her “you know this was bound to happen” during the assault.

Screenshots of text messages sent between Luna and Moosa allegedly show him telling her she is “too fine” to work with and that he finds “unattractive works best” when employing people. Luna also claims that Moosa “attempted to come over to her house at night, unannounced” to have sex with an unnamed woman, per the complaint.

A post on the website of the plaintiff’s counsel states that the women are “seeking damages for emotional distress, economic harm, and violations of their rights under California law; as well as punitive damages for TDE’s ratification of the sexual misconduct of its officers.”

What have Moosa and Brandon Tiffith said about the lawsuit?

In the statement that exposed Luna and Altayri’s identities, Singer denied the accusations on behalf of his clients. He accused the plaintiffs of a “baseless” lawsuit based on “fabricated claims” that amounts to a “shakedown.” The Tiffiths’ statement alleged that they had received a demand for $48 million from the women while claiming to possess text messages that prove their innocence.

How have the women responded?

On February 5, Luna and Altayri filed an amendment to their complaint and officially listed their names as plaintiffs while adding doxxing as a cause in their suit. Both women claim to have received harassment from third parties since beginning their legal action in 2024.

Are any TDE artists mentioned in the lawsuit?

Yes, though not by name. The second complainant, Altayri, claims to be a friend of a TDE artist referred to as Artist A in the lawsuit. Altayri claims she was the victim of sexual misconduct while living in a property owned by TDE. She says a known affiliate of the label, known as B-Dawg, brushed his erect penis against Artist A while inside the house.

She also claims that David Harrell, who lists himself as working in film and TV management at TDE on his LinkedIn page, attempted to sexually assault her. In her complaint, Altayri says Harrell drove her to his apartment and urged her to drink alcohol, despite her being under the legal drinking age at the time. It is then that the complaint alleges “Harrell started removing Ms. Altayri’s pants and touching her intimate areas” before picking her up and throwing her on his bed.

Two further TDE artists, referred to as Artist I and Artist S, are also named in the complaint. In both instances Luna and Altayri say that Artist A told them of their own incidents of misconduct. They allege that Artist I offered to “pay her [Artist A’s] bills” if he could watch her give oral sex to another man, while Artist S had entered a room she was sleeping in without permission.

The complaint claims that TDE executives were alerted to the allegations against both B-Dawg and Harrell and did not respond.
