Atlanta Radio DJs Darian “Big Tigger” Morgan and Francesca Amiker are setting the record straight on their relationship.
“Over the past several days, there has been significant public discussion and speculation regarding my personal life,” Morgan, 53, shared in a statement via Instagram on Friday, June 12. “I understand this can happen when you are a public figure, and I appreciate the support and concern that so many people have shown. … It’s important to clarify that Francesca and I have never been anything more than friends and respected colleagues.”
Morgan offered an apology to his radio cohost “for the impact of these last few days.”
Amiker, 36, also spoke up after an allegation surfaced that she was in a romantic relationship with Morgan — a claim she strongly denies.
“This week has been the most challenging moment of my personal and my professional life,” she said via V103 Atlanta’s The Big Tigger Morning Show on Friday. “Throughout my 16-year career, I’ve worked tirelessly to build a reputation that is rooted in professionalism, integrity and respect. … Those values remain unchanged for me.”
Amiker added that she would never date someone already in a relationship, partly because she respects the bond of her parents who have been married for 42 years.
“Thank you to everyone who has shown me love and support during the most difficult time of my life🙏🏽,” she added via Instagram.
Earlier this week, Morgan’s wife, Alicia Brown, accused the DJ of being unfaithful in their marriage.
In an Instagram comment captured by The Shade Room, Brown alleged, “Yes we are getting a divorce over his relationship with Francesca.”
TMZ also reported that Brown was involved in an alleged assault during a May incident that prompted police to open a domestic dispute investigation. Court records obtained by the outlet identify Morgan as the suspect. He has not been charged with a crime.

“I want to say categorically that these allegations and accusations that have been circulating are false,” Morgan said via Instagram on Friday. “Out of respect for everyone involved, I ask for grace, privacy, and restraint as my family navigates this difficult moment. For more than 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving my community through music, entertainment and connection, and I remain grateful for the trust so many of you have placed in me throughout that journey. I intend to continue living and leading in a manner worthy of that trust.”
Morgan has received support from many celebrities in Atlanta, including Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss and Monyetta Shaw-Carter.
“We’ve known each other for over 25 years. You have never been anything less than a gentleman,” Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks wrote in the comments. “Sorry you are going through this. Praying for all involved 🙏🏾 Peace. be. Still.”
