Atlanta restaurants and rappers opening restaurants in the city is nothing new -- most recently, rapper T.I. was sued by employees at his restaurant Scales 925 for allegedly not paying employees.

Other rappers who tried their hand at owning restaurants include Diddy, who owned Justin's on Peachtree Road before it closed in 2012, and Ludacris, who owned Asian-fusion restaurant Straits in Midtown, which relaunched as Time in 2015.
