T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle Sneak Peek (video)
Last night, following ‘Love & Hip Hop’ episode 3, VH1 aired a sneak peek of T.I.’s new reality series ‘T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle‘, which premieres Monday, Dec. 5.
The series is based on the post-prison life of rapper T.I., and the different hustles that T.I., Tiny and their children have going on. For instance, T.I.’s son Domani, whom he dotes on, is following in his father’s footsteps by picking up the mic.
Tiny’s friends, who sometimes travel with the couple on the road, provide the necessary drama in the series. But the focus seems to be primarily on cash money, and T.I.’s drive to keep the cash pipelines open now that his legal problems are over.
“No matter how long it took for me to get it right, it never get wrong again,” says T.I. emphatically.
He adds: “The most important thing to me in the world: God, family, hustle, in that order.”
T.I. Defends His Wife; Says Gays Are Too Sensitive
Scroll down for updates…
The self-proclaimed King of the South, rapper T.I., graces VIBE magazine‘s year end Dec. 2011 issue. It’s a good thing this is a holiday weekend or T.I.’s publicists would be working overtime trying to put out the fires that his mouth ignited.
T.I. had a lot to say about The Gays who currently wield the balance of power in the entertainment industry. Most of what the rubber band man had to say about The Gays was selectively edited by VIBE magazine.
T.I. on all Americans having equal rights:
“Man, I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard [comedian] Tracy [Morgan] say during a stand-up was, ‘C’mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a dick, you can take a joke.’ [Cracks up laughing.] That shit was funny to me. And it’s kind of true. They’re like,‘If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.’ … That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace.’
But T.I., 31, did have some strong words for rapper 50 Cent and others who criticized his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, 36, for not taking the drug charge that sent her man back to federal prison for 11 months.
T.I. Confirms New Album Title
Rapper T.I. has confirmed the name of his next album, which is scheduled to be released in February, 2012. T.I. tells Billboard.com that the late singer Marvin Gaye was the inspiration for his new album, aptly titled Trouble Man.
Even before his release from an Atlanta halfway house in late September, T.I. hit the recording studio to lay the tracks for his most personal album yet.
“Every where he goes, he stops through the studio,” says T.I.’s assistant.
“I have this one record [titled] ‘Pyro’ that I’m proud of,” T.I. told Billboard.com’s The Juice. “‘Pyro’ is a straight party record. It’s nostalgic of those crazy nights, early mornings [but] just turned up.”
Meanwhile, T.I. has been partying non-stop since his release. Last night, he and his wife Tiny hit up Club Primal to celebrate rapper Nelly’s 37th birthday.

Celebrity Seed: T.I. watches his son play football
Last week, King of the South, T.I., took to his Twitter page to denounce a few radio personalities for criticizing his decision to party (and make a few dollars) during BET’s Hip Hop Awards weekend n Atlanta.
T.I. tweeted:
TMZ.com posted the pics of T.I., 31, cheering on his son, Domani, 10, who plays for the Vikings football team. T.I.’s son Clifford “King” Joseph Harris III, 7, also plays for a football team.
Also supporting the kids on the sidelines were T.I.’s wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, 36, T.I.’s mother, Violeta Morgan, sons King and Major, 3; daughter, Deyjah, 10, sister, Precious, and Messiah and Domani’s mother, LaShon Dixon, whose boyfriend stepped in to do a great job as the kids’ doting stepfather when T.I. was locked up twice. LaShon’s man took the boys on fishing trips and other men-only excursions. They have grown really attached to him. It looks like LaShon found herself a good man.
fanMAIL from BK2ATLMAN (AKOO Brunch Winner)
Loyal reader BK2ATLMAN wrote in to let us know all about his experiences at T.I.’s “A King Of Oneself” Birthday Brunch on Sunday, October 2nd!
Hey Sandra.
I just wanted to thank you again for the tickets. It was a great event. Before I tell all the details, I also wanted to give a shout out to Hannah Kang, who welcomed me and my business partner, made sure we had our table and was just an overall great person. Cute smile too…
She even made sure T.I knew I was the winner and brought him to my table to chop it up a bit. Also it was recorded for his [reality] TV show.
The Good:
The place was beautiful, everything was setup perfect. There was an open Ciroc bar, so that was one of my best friends throughout the day. Can’t believe everyone was getting sauced that early in the day. The food was good, except for some egg seafood thing that just wasn’t the business. The chicken breast was the bomb, but after a couple bites it was done.
More Good:
My table was the bomb, on the left of me I had the A&R from badboy and on the right side of me I had Shawn Holiday from Interscope, who I already knew. I made tons of new connections and might have to cut you a check in the near future.. lol.
