Andre Dickens
, winning 37% against Dickens' 63% of the vote. After her loss, she blamed the rappers
T.I.

strip clubs
in the city if elected.

According to
TMZ
, Moore said that the claims originated from a quote taken out of context, when she expressed her opposition to issuing new permits to certain businesses, such as recording studios, and accused the rappers of spreading misinformation.
