Rap mogul Tip “T.I.” Harris, 36, opened up about his turbulent 7-year marriage to estranged wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle in an interview with Power 105.1 in New York City.
As you know, Tameka filed for divorce from her husband earlier this year after she caught him hotel creeping with an Instagram model.
Things went quickly downhill after the couple tied the knot in 2010. T.I. says marriage is an overrated experience:
“It seems to me that marriage and what marriage means and what marriage does, it’s just of those things that’s going to distract me and determine. And that could be selfish, but ultimately, I’m the patriarch of this family. And it’s my responsibility to take us onward and upward. I just have a purpose and I don’t always have the time to do the thoughtful and considerate things that a husband should do.”
In response to a question about beefing with his estranged wife (whom he sees everyday when he’s in town, and whom he still sleeps with regularly).
“There’s no beef. Life we’re good. We’re straight. Everybody else got the problem. we see each other. We speak. We talk. We spend time together. We’re good. That’s still one of the best friends in the world that I’ve ever had. I can be a better best friend than a husband.”
In response to Tameka deserving alimony and child support for their 3 biological children, Tip said:
“Money is not an issue, I don’t care about that. Alimony pales in comparison to the potential of what I can produce if I’m focused and pushing forward.”

Love him
“And stop putting me in relationships with people”
How about you tell them thots that’s sending out sub-messages via IG Twitta etc……that, no one cares, cutie mmk
I wish tameka well…smh tearing his marriage apart for a lil bit of freedom. Ain’t nothing out here tip.
Its ALWAYS the other womas fault ?BUT NEVER the obligated HUSBANDS FAULT?…F.O.H.Check your man…who OWES it to you..
People are so selfish!!
I’ve always said that Tiny deserves better but until she realizes it, nothing will change. She has a lot of growing to do! I hate she is at the airport looking like Peter Pan tho https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1d149b2bb5778d7a1da4182cac26b14a14de981b8b1797fc10f5fd14169938f0.jpg
He’s distancing himself from the marriage… But meanwhile, just 1 day ago the wife was on social media arguing with some chick and bragging that TI was in her bed “last night”. SMH.
Miss Tiny needs to get her some self esteem and keep it moving.
I officially hate him. What a walking contradiction. He’s the patriarch of the family but he can’t be a thoughtful and considerate husband. He’s basically saying that earning money is more important than being a good family man.
Didn’t I say he’s a selfish man?
When you get into a relationship that results in kids, marriage, homes, drug arrests, TV shows, sex parties and this that and the other thing, its no longer just about you. Most people who are concerned with folks other than themselves get that.
But Tip is not one of those folks. He’s a classic narcissist. An attention whore. A self-centered little man with a deep sense of entitlement, and a need to subjugate those around him. He has no use for you unless he can make you feel dependent on him and then when he gets bored, you’re gone.
Tiny is hopeless. Its been said before but she’s a fool for sticking in there with such an azzhole.
This is earth shattering!
And stfu until she has the strength to do so.
if he aint happy he cant make other folks happy. Plain and simple. He needs to move on and so does TINY.smdh
Exactly
How exactly does the “patriarch” of a broken family move them onward and upward?
When did messy marriages stop affecting children?
Is it really possible to “move on” when so many children are involved?
“T.I. says marriage is an overrated experience”
NO. social media has taken control of your mind,body and soul. its there to destroy the weak. and its working in overtime
This! Aaaaand he was considerate enough to spend MOTHER’S DAY with a side bish BUT his wife who suffered a miscarriage before having #lucky7 was alone…clown behavior but I ain’t laughing.
I hope Sandra stops riding his…coattails.
I was thinking the exact same thing…
The patriarch is going to divorce the matriarch… and that’s going to take the family “onward and upward”?
#smh #niggasitdown
Black men are despicable, this is exactly why I tell women alllllll the time not to upgrade a dude. Tiny used her money to finance his career and she held it down both times he went to jail. Couldn’t have been me.
she was actually arguing with a hoe….I will Never.
What an arrogant, self absorbed, jerk TI is. I cant believe he said that mess out loud.
That chick was singing HER hit song throwing shots about HER husband “every man wants a woman where him and her can just go hang”
That’s why she responded. It was more about her than him. Once a husband cheats, then you’re all hoes and equals since everyone thinks the wife should just magically get over her union.
It’s sad.
I wish this mess would just go away. Lawd no1curr. He’s BEEN a dog, been on some cheating shit since he married Petunia.

TI’s response to a question about beefing with his estranged wife….whom he sees everyday when he’s in town……..and whom he STILL SLEEPS WITH REGULARLY.
>“It seems to me that marriage and what marriage means and what marriage does…..it’s just one of those things that’s going to DISTRACT ME………&………I don’t always have the time to do the thoughtful and considerate things that a husband should do”………..

So all TI is saying is he never wanted to marry Tiny from day one, don’t want to be married to her now…and he should have kept her in a friend zone in the first place. Tiny is the ONLY one looking utterly ridiculous at this point. The things that she ALLOWED in her marriage..and the events that she PARTICIPATED in……….. OBVIOUSLY STILL DIDN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. The point is stay true to yourself…and TRUST IN GOD.
he’s psychologically sick, but he does not understand it. if u even bring it up. that part of his brain that should have empathy It don’t WORK, he front like he care about black folks but in his reality, he’s thinking he will get some blog shine, and media attention, he craves it.
Hold on. This particular black man is despicable. He does not represent all brothers AT ALL. Besides she chose his ignorant, runt azz. Says a lot about her taste.
I respect his honesty. He tried and admits that it’s not for him. Now it’s up to Tiny to decide if she wants to stay with a man who doesn’t want to be married and expect different results.
Yeah he could have kept that convo between him and tiny.
He’d better hope his sons don’t grow up and hate him for what he did to their mother, putting her through all this mess.
Nothing! Held that bankhead rapper down letting him record in her studio when his “street money” couldn’t afford basic recording but he a drug king pin let him tell it. So jealous that he didn’t want her to shine when HE was incarcerated for his actions mad she had a show then he got out and “they” have a show. Alllllllllllllllllllll his success is due to her. #teamtiny
THIS!!!!! Selfish indeed. He already started the family and imo should do right by them all. But u said it. Selfish.
He better hope his daughters dont engage in relationships with men like him. Daughters marry their fathers so to speak.
“You treat your wife bad” – King (T.I.ny’s son)
The child told no lies.
Exactly. White, yellow, brown men etc. dog their wives out too, unfortunately.
It ain’t just black men.
This is the last straw!!! I wash my hands of you Clifford
Sad
http://www.vh1.com/video-clips/n4xbqw/ti-and-tiny-the-family-hustle-speak-about-ladies
HE talks in circles.
He’s rich AND a man? Why would anyone be surprised. Hell, even broke men have a stash of women. Relationships, marriages, etc., aren’t meant to last forever. We are in a different time. Enjoy the years you get, break up amicably, and be cool after.
Mmm… when did TI start wearing glasses? Glasses, daylight, and HD TV are a ugly person’s worse enemy!
who cares…. they had an open relationship and now they are moving on…keep it moving… and just stop talking… my ears…..
I know rich men who are loyal and MATURE enough to respect their significant others….thats what it boils down to maturity and respect… and less ego
preach girl….
MEN OF ALL RACES HAVE A TENDENCY to be despicable…. DONT attack and single out Black men…..
Agreed
thank you….. these folks love to stereotype…
To say marriage is a distraction badically a stumbling block to your career is just…yeah Tiny move on.
Idt they truly ever wanted to be “married”. They had already been together off and on for so long that it was like he married her just to say they did it and had a lavish wedding. I think he felt more obligation to her than anything. It’s sad bc they just should have stayed friends. Probably would have worked out better.
Sandra has the nerve to call this clown an activist! This boy has no idea how to be a man, father, son, or adult, how in the world could he be the voice of anything with the exception of a stereotypical black man. I do not feel sorry for Tiny, based on her ignorant rants with her husbands side piece she’s still laying up with him. If you don’t want better for yourself …WHO WILL? It’s pitiful, this immature ignorance with these two playing out in the public. I hope once they go their separate ways they can muster up the strength to attain Maturity, and become better people as well as parents.
But Tiny filed for the divorce. Is he supposed to sit around forever? Is she? They were having issues way prior to any filing. I see nothing wrong much with his comments. Sounds like he has come to grips with a lot of stuff actually. Like how much he sucks at being a husband. A lot of folks would keep damn lying.
Far as Tiny feeling like she can come for ole Bernie, she been through a lot. She can cuss out anyone she feels like. Hell if she get to dranking her wine tonight and feel like cussing say Hoopz smoove the hell out, I think she is entitled. Any woman she got a gripe with about HER damn husband. Yep.
I’m clearly too involved LOL but I hate to see them split ??
Damn Tiny u had all those 3sums for nothing and u had to eat them hoez puccies ?
THANK YOU! If you don’t know how to have $$, a peen, and self control…then just DAMN! ?
“how in the world could he be the voice of anything but a stereotypical black man”
Just curious, what is a stereotypical black man?
He is a grown man… Not a boy
Cold world ??
A stereotyped black man, has a gang of kids, may be abusive physically, emotionally, or mentally. Is not a good father or man, etc.Those are just some stereotypes of Black men!
You know Sandra stays trolling especially Friends of her Blog (FOBs).
I think she wanted to eat em. Could be wrong. Idk.
Smh. If only black men supported and took up for you the way you stick up for them- we may actually get somewhere. This one sided support system black women has with black men needs to stawp. Its sad. Women now have to defend men.
That is not the stereotype of a black man. That’s the stereotype of a young male period. White or black…
When have you ever heard a white person say “BLACKS DO IT TOO?” or an Asian say its okay because ” Blacks do it too”? LMAO. Ownership is scarce in the Black community. We don’t own our shortcomings and we don’t own a lot of businesses. Smh.
Black men are STEREOTYPED, but you referred to him as STEREOTYPICAL of black men; generalizing as if ALL black men fit the description you described.
“how in the world could he be the voice of anything but a stereotypical black man”
#DEAD
Trolls pretending to be “for” us…
To be honest I don’t think he ever loved her. I think he liked her and what she was able to bring to the table but that was about it. I feel that he was in a space where he thought that because she was such a good woman that marriage would or could possibly fix what he thought was broken or keeping him from connecting with her on that level. You could see it in photos, on the show and etc. It was very clear that she was in love with him while on the other hand she was a best bud to him. I think they have a beautiful family and I’ve always been team Tiny, because you could see that she was genuinely all about him and making him happy. However being all of the right things to the wrong person will only equate to the results we have now, a broken marriage. Looks has nothing to do with it, the size of your back side has nothing to do with it, if I a man wants you there’s nothing that will keep him away and if he doesn’t Nothing can make him stay. She deserves to find someone that is willing to give her the love that she deserves and unfortunately he is not able to do that. I wish them both the best in whatever or whoever they partner with in the future.
Deader…….
“Any woman she got a gripe with about HER damn husband.”………….. That CLEARLY has no respect for being HER damn husband…ijs
You know Kandi is her girl..?
???
MORE people need Jesus and the bible, I agree to disagree with you, its some marriages that are working but I do know chit happens too but we cant give up just that easily! Its all about communication but if you are in the limelight and thots every damn where throwing themselves at you, things can get rough!
I am so glad my hubby has never asked me to have threesomes, do recreational drugs and all that other chit, it was just too much going on in their relationships and don’t add money to the equation, folks get BORED fast lol!
Y’all ruthless
its a slew of em…..put em in they place..
Very well said ????????
they do doll! I have MANY that praise and stick up for me!!! Maybe your in the wrong circles or checking for the wrong people… or maybe your just trolling the blog constantly demeaning black men and women….
Aww
King said that?
Chile!!!
THEN, After you’ve gone thru STASHES of women, & after all the years, time, & emotion you’ve put in, & invested in a relationship, marriage, etc….What are you left with sir??? You breakup “amicably” then WHAT afterwards??? Only 2 be “cool” SMH..Then what?… Start the whole cycle again??? LOL…I don’t understand the point in that..Any relationship/marriage can last…It’s what the person or persons involved, are willing 2 do 2 sustain it…
Why give “folks” something to talk about then. If we only produced EXCELLENCE, there would be no negative stereotypes. We too busy worried bout other races while they not stun us! This man should handle these types of matters privately instead of disrespecting her further after all she put up with. This is one of his abuse tactics. His goal is too humiliate her as “payback.” A lot of Black men are this way.
I would have slapped the taste out of his mouth and then she bragging online yesterday saying they was laid up, tuh!
I cringe everytime I see him on Hip Hop Squares like he is flucking Cliff Huxtable with all his advice, FOH!
Why don’t the men with STATUS in our community do the same?
Looks like you missed the whole point or meaning of what I said. Feel free to read it again, since you didn’t quite “get it”.

What are black women doing that’s so Bad? Y’all stay coming for black women when we’re just here trying to stay afloat and have a life. What are YOU doing besides lip service? And don’t try to act like you’re black because baby only in your dreams….
The point is: saying it “ain’t just black men” gets us nowhere. We are discussing a black man, why deflect?
Again…you clearly still miss the point. You went on that long rant above, which isn’t really relevant to the simple point I was making.
Never mind though. It’s all good. Good day to you.
I personally, don’t feel sorry for her because she’s partly to blame….AND she’s STILL TILL THIS DAY running behind that joker, instead of letting go and moving on.
Log off right now!!! Go that way ??
Lol. You are Delusional as Usual dear. I am a black woman. I will call it like I see it. It is OPEN season on Black women by BLACK MEN. I am here to spread awareness and consciousness, not to be divisive. Trust, if I didn’t care about the progression- I wouldn’t be on here speaking against ill behaviour within our community. If you sweep $$hit under the rug, the problem will only become worse!
That is a great response!! Imma try that above… Might even exercise my block feature cuz she is truly wicked.
You’re a white troll or a self hating bytch… Ither way, I feel sorry for you.
Hold on, let me exercise my block feature…. Good day…
I believe he did love her, but possibly not the love she deserved
Deadest, bwahaaa
Most Deadest…

They DO!!!! Have you heard of Colin Kaepernick? Jesse Williams?
Heres an article troll…. I mean doll

Yes. I know it sounds crazy, but yep, start over. For those who are able to fight through it and remain a couple through the golden years, more power to you. But yes, start again. It wouldn’t be the entire cycle cuz you’re at a different mindset at certain age(s).
No YOUR too busy putting folks down to see the greatness… STOP TROLLING AND DEMEANING BLACK PEOPLE,… Sandra is that you or your goons stirring up stuff?
Lets talk sabout the WHITE governor who got caught cheating????
Sandra why do you always do this girl!!!… These people in here trippin. I’m out…
hahhahahhaa
Marriage is definitely a daily commitment to yourself your spouse and above all God. Although I may not agree with his verbage I can commend the two of them for finally being mature adults and able to let this union go. I would rather that then for them to continue producing more babies and to let another 7+ years drag out! Good Luck to them both!
I just hope he wasn’t reminiscing about his wife in that one song he had a couple yrs back…the lyrics were made disrespectful as he thought back to the things he did to whoever… Js
She got the bootay and eyes done, and this fool still tripping?!?! Later For you TIP.. Hope you bone Floyd and have your fun like this fool has. You are the true one Tiny..
Lol ?
Perfect meme ?? Lol
You would think at a certain age that people would have a different mindset…Some do, some don’t….I guess that’s why u have so many people starting over, that are never satisfied, constantly chasing something that they’ll never find….Yeah, that is crazy….
Yup!
Me too! He did then and does now.
ikr
The hashtag though????
? who knows a llllooonngg time ago when i was dumb af and young i let my baby daddy talk me into giving him head with this girl he married (that’s another story) ? So it really wasnt a 3sum bc there was no sex involved…just me and her sucking him off…ol trifling as nigga. Damn i was so stupid I can’t believe i did that when i really didn’t want to ?
THIS??????
He ain’t really saying what he want to say
So he’s a sociopath? makes sense
*dead*
Ok Tip my uncle said he was tired of being married to his wife cus he was smashing young hoes had them calling and disrespecting her. He got sick and tried to come back to her talmbout he sorry and henwanna comebback home. She took his sick ass and dropped him off at one of the young women he was messing with house and sped off. He died two days later and she (his wife) didn’t give two shits. But that insurance policy was lovelay. So I say to you Tee eye karma is a bitch. I’m done
Probably
I’ve done that too men love that
Tiny over 40 now. She may have matured and didn’t want that life no more. They was pretty ratchet years ago
Every marriage isn’t going to stand the test of time, and I’m sure you will agree. People change or grow out of love, a partner can grow tired of sleeping with only one person (which is wrong too), the sex becomes routine etc.and with being well known and having some coins, certain other temptations come with the territory. Not making excuses for anyone, but there are no guarantees for love and marriage to last, you have to fight for it and want it to last and find pleasure in the union. That one piece of paper states you should stay together forever. I wish there was no such thing as divorce, unless someone is in a proven abusive situation and fears for their life. At the end of the day, every married person should enter into it knowing there are no guarantees and be prepared for the next chapter as a back up plan. Tiny is a bit older than Tip and that too might be part of the reason he wants to be free. I wish they could stay together, but life is like a box of chocolates..
Nah. Not saying I agree with her post but “stereotypical black man” would indicate that she doesn’t think “the average black man” is being represented by TIP.
Daily commitment. I like that.
Her cross to bear. Nobody elses
He said dem her eyes. ?
Hasn’t had a hit RECORD in years nuff said….
So I guess we’re not going to get any posts on the bullsh!t messes your president and his hot mess of an administration have been pulling all day? Yeah should’ve figured that answer out before I ask?
However being all of the right things to the wrong person will only equate to the results we have now, a broken marriage
—
It will equate to a bad relationship period
Unfortunately. Also check the receipts from @phillyfacts cause T.I.ny’s other son Major has definitely picked up on his father’s true nature. Sad.
Hey taylor
Thank u y is it black ppl always the bad ones? Smh
I just have a purpose and I don’t always have the time to do the thoughtful and considerate things that a husband should do.”
……………
As hard it is to hear the one you love say this it’s one of the realist things he has ever said.
Stop playing?
Why do y’all think her cosmetic surgery was done for him?
She got them back shots with chicken legs..
I bet she doesn’t want him back..She filed and now he is trying to switch things.
I love it!
Baby when I tell you ( in my no voice)!!! She stupid
She looks deformed from head to toe. IDK if they exaggerated her profile length or if it’s real but she and TI both look worn down and raggedy.
He should ain’t, Vanna. Anybody ovee the age of 30 KNOWS this. Like that song Yo Gott, got out, all I hear is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah….blah, blah (i added the last 8 for good measure,
He doesn’t want Tiny he just likes control. She bested him by filing for divorce. He has to whoa her back to bed so he can drop her. That’s the only way his ego will be content.
Sounds ? like a bunch of BULLSH?T coming out of his HERPES looking mouth ?
He doesn’t have time to do the thoughtful and considerate things that a husband should do but he has plenty of time to do the things hoe do?
What is he withholding?
But they are still bumping uglies!
He is using reverse psychology, but im sure she won’t fall for his plan.
I’m the patriarch of this family. And it’s my responsibility to take us onward and upward
………..
This statement is contradictory to me ??????
I guess maturity came after she dyed her eyes….
He is now part of her business, savings and retirement plan .
Wow that was so eloquently written I appreciate your commentary
She has already fallen for the plan. Tiny is on the WWW taunted the side chick with old news that she’s the wife sleeping with side chick’s man. Foolishness at best. #dumberthandumb
Hey summer
Hey vanilla
I think he ain’t telling what led to it. Something happened bc he basically saying he shouldn’t have got married. U walked Down the aisle, why u feel that way? She did something
lol exactly. What is the reason?
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO
??? maybe she her self esteem kicked it
TOO BAD!
T.I. going through a mid life crisis. This too shall pass, come on now, get over yourself and keep it together. I think Tiny went through some female issues (broken vagina). she had a baby, butt implants, etc. Men lose their minds when the V is on time out.
He’s a clown. I hope tiny moves on and be careful, I feel if she finds someone who she’s happy with, his weak azz is gonna act a fool.
Hmmm! Thinking…
?????
Tiny azz looks like a bag of nickels.
True true
Lol girl i cud never do that with my new man i love him too damn much to ever share that pipe, willingly!! I’d cut a bîtch throat quick ?
Lol oh yea bc she a freak too
Hola?
??
I think it was done because she is self conscious about looks. I’m the same way so…….
Vanna, I was on another site, and someone KINDLY translated it. They said:
AKA: “I was never really attracted to her, but I needed her contacts in the music business to put me on. I see her and she still lets me hit, but deep down she’s not my type and I used her. But she’ll always let me.”
Of course. It’s ok for him to fyuck around but let her try and move on.
Me too I had a nose job bc I hated my nose lol
Contacts? Escape was never a destiny child I mean he could have used anyone why here? I think by the second child she got tired of being a baby momma and she shoved him in a corner. He married her bc he was probably forced. My opinion.
Chile
It takes that one. The nig I did that with ain’t shyt. Just passing time ??
idgaf about other races, I am talking about my people. Out of alllllll the races we need to try harder to keep our families together. No other race of ppl are suffering a great deal from men missing in the home but black ppl.
you must not be familiar with statistics. Most black homes are broken. igaf about the very few black men putting their family first over their own selfish needs.
Who forced him though? Or do you mean he probably felt compelled? Did the wedding come after he did the year in prison? (I don’t remember), if so maybe he felt obligated or told by his lawyers and PR people to do so to “clean” up his image. BUT Xscape were really THAT group in the 90’s, so I do agree that she probably did hook him up with contacts (as far as Atlanta producers etc). T.I. had been known in the south for a few years before he blew up. I even think he was in the music video “if you want to” video, but I could be wrong on that.
Enough of these 2 as a distraction like Dump fake half bombing of Syria which was a waste of taxpayer’s dollar. Let’s talk about Bill O”Reilly going on vacation and that a LEGAL FISA warrant was taken out on Carter Page a member of Dump team as a agent for the Russian government. Back to the stuff that really matters. No tweet from Dump about this either.
Tiny will most definitely find somebody else. I wish her and the fam the best.
It takes time to whew a concubine. She too has to be wined, dined, flowers, shopping and nurturing. He has time to call her, visit her, sleep with her and be photoed with her but not with his wife….?! IJS
Right compelled. I never thought they was that “it” group. I remember I hated them growing up. I thought they was all fast idk y just never liked them. Zonnique dad was a drug dealer. Now remind u they all probably about 6 or 7 years older than me. Now mind u I was n middle school in sw ATL when they was out but even i knew that nig was a dope dealer. I knew kids that knew him. They just wasn’t my fav so for TI to date her for that reason of coming up just seemed funny. The way tiny was when she met him prob ain’t who she is today. I’m 34 and I’m different than I was at 30 u know what I mean? Ppl change. TI still young and ratchet and she prob in that serious grown lady stuff now. No drugs or orgies ??
???
Tiny does stay engaging these bimbos. I don’t get it…
I like the wife’s style! She is truly gangsta?
Lmao ? Oh ok its usually the nothing ass niqqas that can talk u into doing anything
I agree. She was probably I don’t want to see another chick”s vage for the rest of my days. She was probably like I want to raise my children and go into my golden years without having to steady worry about my t-cell count. On another note, on another blog, a commenter gave some REAL disrespectful tea about her something T.I. allegedly made her do. It was so low I am not even repeat. It was looooooooowwwww, and if it true, T.I is the lowest of the low, and Tiny needs to go see a therapist. It was real low for that person to post that, EVEN IF it was true.
Now u got me wondering what was said ???
He has always tried to use words that he either doesn’t understand the meaning of or just learned and forgot the meaning. I applaud his effort. “One of those things that distract me and determine”, did he pause?
And it goes to show that you can do anything(3somes) for your man, stop your career, have his children and take good care if them, and he still may not be satified with you.
It always has been. He attempts to make hisself sound intelligent by using big words. Sometimes you could tell he had just looked in his thesaurus, or used inflection in his voice. I never fell for his BS either.
I had one also
Better friends than a husband? knee grow you had 99 damn kids with her and you friend zoneing her? i would be so upset if i heard my husband say that. a real man would know that that is one and the same, regardless if you are a rapper, athlete, actor or dude with a 9-5.
I do believe he’s going through a mid life crisis as well. I dont feel sorry for either because thats just the life that they have chosen to live. I hope they realize what they are passing down to their kids…
Marriage is overrated..the devil is a lie
This nigga twists words to turn water in to wine better than Jesus. GTFOH
Really? U like it? I love mine
That’s a punch to the gut! ????
I understand exactly what he is saying. In other words, he knows he only loves Tiny for the woman she is, the mother she is to their children, the business woman he respects, and the loyal friend to all involved. But as for being in love with her, for the rest of his life, to have, hold, and death do their part…no. He understands that he is not the man she needs or wants. Right now, he is searching for that woman that wows him. Tiny has never wowed him. And that’s ok Tiny. I swear it’s ok when a man says you are not the one. It just means, the one is out there and ready to arrive, when you let go of the other. God doesn’t send a blessing into a bunch of mess. Smile Tiny and enjoy what the future has in store for you. You are going to kick yourself for waiting for TI to change and love you the way you deserve. And TI, you will find your Ruth.
Yes. I had it because I was born with a clef lip. It was that and other surgeries that helped with my profile.
God doesn’t send a blessing into a bunch of mess.
—
Omg u so right. Been telling myself to get right bc GOD ain’t sending me my husband till I go.
I had it bc I don’t like mine. Mine look like a butt in the middle. Wish I could send u a pic. I’m getting my eyes done next. I want my under eye lifted
I’m calling bs on the play
This guy needs to go back to school. His grammar, sentences is atrocious.
He said deter me….NOT determine…Now I can be at ease…I thought man… this Nig can’t be that stupid…lol
He’s a good person. He deserves a dime piece like Bernice bc don’t nobody want Tiny but him. OK?
He tries to sound smart though. Sometimes he’ll try using big words that he can barely pronounce.
Well said
I agree with everything you said however he should have come to this decision two children ago. She is older so realistically her prospects are not as good as his or even a younger woman. She is saddled with three children and now has to be mindful of the men she brings around those children. Trying to please this man seems to have destroyed her self esteem and worth. Her personality has always been outgoing and happy he seems to bring the worst out in her.
I will pray for Tiny that this time it is really over and she takes time to heal.
Yes I be lmao. I can’t stand the pretending. Either you’re smart or not. Or trying until you are. He annoys me
I think he is saying getting his d*ck wet is more important than being a good husband.
So basically hes saying he wants to be free to smash all the nasty groupies he wants while he still has a little buzz as a middle aged rapper.? He’ll be back tiny and when he does run!
Lmfaooaa
I do not wish him well in any way. He destroyed this woman and will probably never let her be happy with someone else. He used her until there was nothing left to take. He was abusive and controlling. Where she went wrong was appeasing his every whim and desire. I hope Tiny gives us some amazing music with Xscape and finds the happiness that she deserves. T.I will only find more S.T.D s and gold diggers-Tiny change the locks and your phone number.
So thats what we do now? Get married become bored and then cheat on your vows? But say its because your wife no longer wows you?!. If that what you think marriage is or how one is suppose to conduct himself your delusional..
Would you please speak on it!! Cheating on your wife and famiy, talking bout you looking for your blessing and out here trying to be great ? Sucks teeth” hes disgusting.
Hello
Sure will
You said a mouthful. It’s a classic co-dependent relationship. Tiny, please save yourself and your children.
Sometimes men just can’t figure out the difference of being in love, and loving a good woman, until they had a life change. He knows Tiny is a good woman and may have felt obligated to marry her for selfish reasons or undiscovered reasons. Whatever it is, his reasons for remaining married changed. Men cheat because they can, and an escape in a sense. It has NOTHING to do with the wife per se. TI has learned he is not happy as a husband to Tiny. I would say, better late than never, and step aside so my man who would be happy as my can arrive. Move out of my man’s place. Besides, think about it this way…how long did she wait around for him to change or love her the way she wanted to be loved? Tiny has some responsibility for her own choices. Some women fight the wrong fight, and yes lose the fight, but can win the battle by understanding the war. The war? Put her feelings and self respect first, and everything else will fall in line. She put her family first; theme of the show, which has suffering consequences because the partner doesn’t do the same. But she can revive and live a great life. It wasn’t all bad, they had to great times and built a good empire. Now they have to learn to live together, separately.
Told you so!!!!!! He used you Tiny! From the beginning……. If it wasn’t for your music contacts, it would be no T.I.P.
Well…I can only go by what he said in the interview. I don’t think he was bored as a husband. But I do think if he was not wholly fulfilled, then he knew he couldn’t be in a marriage because, just maybe…he didn’t want to hurt Tiny any longer. I mean, how many times do we say to our partner, “I rather you just leave and tell me you don’t want me than to cheat on me and have me looking like a fool”. Unfortunately, and many times, people marry the wrong people. It happens all the time. At least he is being honest with himself first, and in that honestly he is now creating, he can be honest with Tiny, and that’s something she should begin to appreciate. But if you want my opinion, I think they are together, married and happy as a family and all of this is for show.
I can’t stand him. Her self esteem was already low, he took advantage of it. And she did whatever he wanted just to keep him. Had her changing her eye color, butt implants etc. I loathe him!!!
lol. Don’t loathe him. lol. He is just trying to live his truth, finally without lying to himself and his wife. That’s all. I really think this is about the show coming out Monday. They may be all in love in the bed as you and I type this lol.
Well maybe…..but according to their CAC chart, there was no love linkages only sex and money. They only had a Neptune and Chiron Linkage which is a lifetime linkage, hence they do have children together.
I look at it this way…there is a man ready for a wife. He’s praying for his Ruth, right now. There’s a woman somewhere holding onto a man, who she sees in his actions, he doesn’t want her, but…she “loves” him. That man comes around when he wants, calls her when he can, yet she’s still in “love” with him and waiting for him to change and show her the love she desires.
There is also a woman, who loves herself, praying for a good man, and know what she can offer and give her husband. She’s unattached emotionally from any man, she’s happy, she’s content, a woman who takes care of her body, mind and soul and lacks bitterness towards anyone who has hurt her and she is yet prepared for the greatest side of life.
Which woman does the man who is praying for a wife deserves now?
They have abusive clashes as well. And HE is the abuser.
Wow, I don’t know anything about that kind of stuff. But it is interesting. You study?
Yes and it’s pretty accurate too.
Then she definitely can’t hold him totally responsible for getting out of that relationship/marriage. Some women really think they can change a man.
So, they aren’t supposed to be together? Who is at fault and how do two people who do not belong together end up finding each other? You see, you have me asking a ton of questions LOL.
You right about that. The signs were there but she was obsessed with him. They have an obsessive Linkage as well. And she was the obsessed one. It works 77% of the time, but everyone has free will to do the right thing. But I don’t think he did.
Nah, just human…trying to find his place in this hurtful world while trying to have peace. Tiny should release him in peace. I wouldn’t hold no one who doesn’t want to be held. And I’m not just listening to the words, but looking at the actions. Show me I’m the one for you. SHOW ME!
Free will and their transits to their natal planets.
He so LAME https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/801e367bafd7687e6744f725e26e9401a573fa0f5389eef4c2a58c05ea458409.jpg
Tiny is the side wife.
They have always looked lounge two clowns to me.
Yeah sounds lie he is sick of pretending.
Money Mayweather….once a man’s ego is bruised and so publicly it’s no coming back from that. He will never admit it because tht means MM won but I believe it is that.
Tiny was way older than the future poitical activist T.I.when they first met. She was a grown ass woman and had her own mine.
He felt obligated to marry her. He himself admitted that she helped him financially to get in in the beginning.
Hey Lady ? Did you forget me? I’m 11/30/78. He’s 6/13/66
why that looks like a waist trainer
I believe he’s a narcissist. I met him at a private brunch back in 2010 a few months after they were married and the way he came at me. I could tell he doesn’t get told no a lot or turned down. Anyways, in 2012 I married a narcissist and I am a cancer (as is Tiny) and my marriage literally mirrors theirs on a much smaller scale. I never engaged in threesomes tho, that was my only rule. It’s sick what he did to her. I am just now dating 2 years after it ended because it was like a hurricane hit me. I was left with nothing but two kids, mounting debt, a tarnished reputation, low self esteem, depression — you name it. But now, I have joy, peace, my old self back. Now, I’m alone and I’m happy. I actually feel bad for all of my ex-husbands “victims” (past and present). Anywho, TI def has narc traits.
I feel so bad for tiny. That ride or die mentality gets yoi nowhere in the long run.
LOL!!!!!!!!
When Bernice Burgos uses Tip up and is through with him,she will dump that midget and move onto the next rich married entertainer.
Hey girl I replied on the other post give me a second!
Tiny probably thinks that Tip is the best that she can do,i doubt that she would let him go.
where were his friends @ that day, they failed him. I remember TI said he would never wear a pair of jeans tight enuff that you can see the tongue on his shoes, he lied
Change the Screen name baby girl. Anything with Roots, cant be good with God.Words and names are powerful. Christ renamed all his disciples, why, what was wrong with there birth names.
Because what you are called, the name that is spoke, and repeated over and over throughout your life has a powerful spiritual signifigance, I say this love, respectfully.
It surely does not. I hope if (or when) she gets tired, she isn’t to broken to push through and find her own footing. She deserves so much more, but has to see it for herself.
I don’t understand why everyone on Tiny side. I thought the rumor was that they had an open door policy to their marriage so Im confused how people are choosing sides here. If they were ok with having people mingle in the bedroom, then when it happens outside of the bed why is one person looked at as if they were being dealt with so wrongly. They both did their wrongs end of story. Let them move on with their lives. She did her dirt and he did his so that ride or die chick was out with her hubbies enemy snapping pictures for the gram while he was in the hotel with a IG chick. Whats new? Really could care less, got my own marriage to focus on just confuse about everyone else catching feelings about someone elses marriage.
Pac jeans weren’t skinny and he ain’t rock Tims!! He had the money and means to recreate this perfectly and failed!!
Do better Clifford
Really could care less, got my own marriage to focus on….
But you took the time to write a paragraph on why others should care or are taking sides.
Um, okay!
Exactly
I sure did just like your uselss a.s.s and Lisa Daniels paying close attention…maybe you should get you one so you and Lisa could care less about what im doing! GTFO and Um, ok that up yours!
I hope one day you get a life so your not all up in her business and worried about if she pushes through! Mind yours troll!
No, it does not!
great posts about this issue.
???
You mad or naw?!
As for paying attention…nope, I refreshed, your comment popped up first, I read (which you do on blogs) and then made my comment.
All that was a bit much for someone who could “really could care less”…which is wrong it should be couldn’t care less.
But Carry On!!
Amen and well said. Only issue I have with him is he should have ended it long ago, since he knew he would never be (and probably knew he would never want to be) that man for her. She may have held on, but he could have left and let her heal and move on as well.
Amen to all of this. Sad part is TI is going to have to hurt her horribly in order for her to move on.
She won’t leave until she is completely broken and it is going to hurt her like hell, but will be necessary. She will HAVE to lose all that she is holding on to, in order to receive what is truly hers.
I pray that she has her fill and leaves, so it won’t destroy her, but the sad fact is….she will not, he will have to leave her for someone she thought he wouldn’t leave her for, in order for her to even begin to see that truth.
Bernice may be that person.
I’m heartbroken for Tiny, even though I don’t personally know her. This woman sold her soul for this man and sti
bull chit
never allow a man to use you up….
The last quote was the mature quote.
Too bad he does not understand HIS CREATION ROLE is to be a HUSBAND FIRST.
However being all of the right things to the wrong person will only equate to the results we have now, a broken marriage.
One thing I know for certain, every marriage isn’t always going to work out and every marriage/relationship has its problems… but I honestly feel that TIP should have kept this part of his life silent until he knew the right words to say… in no way should marriage be a distraction from bringing your family onward and upward, marriage is the foundation for families to move onward and upward… with that being said, I feel TIP gonna lose a lot of fans for this one here…
Thank You!!!
While I do not hold a grudge towards TI, he is sick. Selfishly sick.
Tiny, she does NOT need a new relationship. She needs to sit down & nose dive into Recovery. A Real Program.
If the things I have heard over the years are true, she is so broken that she did things that no human should ever do.
The SOLUTION to EVERY single ares in your life:
A Spiritual Tool Kit.
Inside the Tool Kit:
The 12 Steps = All God.
My sentiments exactly!
Nah, not at all. Just being entertained by you and your minions. Thanks
A stereotyped black man, is that better?
While Tiny is reading this she should be at the TMT compound getting grapes fed to her by Floyd…Im sorry I may talk crap but Tiny is a phenomenal woman who loved this man so much she altered her appearance to make herself more “desirable”. Let TIP go through this midlife crisis she can do better….
In other words, you wanna be a hoe without the guilt…oh ok. Just fukin say THAT then.
Why?
TI was who he was before she married him.
I am tired of women believing a man will change or they can change a man after the wedding.
I definitely think he loved her…thats a stretch to say u didnt. But I definitely agree with everything else u said
Funny I am here being entertained as well. Look at that.
Have a great day!!
I don’t believe it was so much about thinking she could change him. I think a lot of women stay in these types of relationships, because of some serious self esteem issues. Low self esteem and lack of confidence, has been disguised as “ride or die”
I hope Bernice don’t think that TIP is going to change for HER!!!!!!!! just sayin…
I Believe the sh!!t is staged for the show.Someone is good at writing scripts.And Bernice Burgos is all apart of it–ingenious.
When will people learn:money is more important than self respect to some people.
got the whole world fooled in order to get them checks from that show.What a ingenious script writer.
Maybe he should have thought about that before marrying her and having 99 kids with her.
It’s like that negro memorizes 5 new words from the dictionary every day, and just tries to fit them in a sentence whenever he can.
Marriage is all about change, you both change for each other to make it work. Ask anyone married for more than 20 years.The person you were before marriage is not the person you are after 20 years of working together.
preach!!
She may think she is Marjorie Harvey 2.0…..Steve claims he changed for her. I don’t think he did, I just think he found someone who was willing to accept the mess.
True. Some people need the pain to understand the lesson. She’s confused his need and dependence on her strength and loyalty for love. From a male perspective that is a momma. Men have to feel like the head, protector and source of security. Tiny in reality is too strong for him. But in her live for him she became weak which is unattractive to him. He’s drained her and he’s filled. When she removes her crutch watch him fall. Then he will beg for her back not because he made a mistake or love her but he needs to feel his strength again. I can write a book on this subject lol.
T.I. is damn near 40 yrs old. At what point do you grow up and stop trying to do the same ish that you were doing when you were in your 20’s. And, a lot of people are saying that he does indeed love her. Listen, man. That is not love. Love does not hurt. Period. Love is not selfish. And T.I. is a very selfish individual. He’s the female version of Super Head— someone that can speak well and has a nice vocabulary, but they aren’t really saying anything. I see through the bs.
Me and Floyd would be all over the news/blogs. Shiddd I’d even take the kids on a date to Disneyland with us. Lol
Do elaborate more on this. Email me my CAC chart
Some never grow up. And you are right Love is NOT selfish and Love will not see you hurting.
And Tiny is not getting any points from me either. You do not get points for having absolutely no self worth. Altering your appearance, taking drug charges, allowing your man to roam the streets like a feral cat, just to keep a ninja that clearly doesn’t respect or value as a woman. “She’s fighting for her marriage”. That’s not what marriage is about. I don’t want to be like her. She shouldn’t want her daughters to be like her.
And if she can afford to go to some remote African country and have her eyes transplanted she can afford a therapist. She’s damn near 50. She can afford a life coach, a therapist, a hypnotist, a magician. Something to help her see her dam worth.
This may be a publicity stunt for the show. But they have older kids who watch the show and read blogs. What are they teaching them? Do any and everything for a check? Break your vows for ig h0es? Put up with whatever a man does, men will be men?
Exactly!! Go head and get that “new pu$$y”(Chris Rock)…I hope his dyck falls off.
That was a bold statement. Why must you bash her?
I mean he has PUBLICLY embarrassed her several times. Had Hoopz front and center at a live taped interview. That is not love or respect. He doesn’t even respect you enough to be discreet. Tf?
I don’t think she had a high sense of self when they met. If I am not mistaken, she wasn’t the confident one in Xscape.
He met her as a broken woman and fed off of it.
She might be on Iyanla Vanzant soon… for a check
He feels she will not leave him and she has proven it time and time again.
Understood. But she is not 19/20 anymore. I understand that when you are in a dysfunctional situation it can seem functional. But, pain is universal. You know when you are hurt and when you aren’t happy. Instead of her investing in superficial cosmetic solutions, she should invest in mental help. That’s all I’m saying. You out here looking crazy as hayle with toothpick legs and a boulder sitting on your back and you aren’t any happier than you were before you did it. Well, perhaps you should try something else.
THIS
In other news….Assad has surpassed Hitler on the title of Worst Person In History, according to Sean Spicer…cause you know- Gassing innocent men, women and children in “Holocaust Centers” isn’t as bad as using sarin gas on “your own people”. Oh, wait—per Spicer- Hitler didn’t use chemicals.
Lord, please help us!! I repent for the entire world.
Broken people don’t have an age limit on their weakness. Seriously, this isn’t a situation for her anymore, it is her normal way of life. Better to have a piece of man, than have no man at all and she has been convinced that she can’t do better. Yes, she is older, but older doesn’t make you wiser..just makes you older.
Midlife crisis? This man has been doing this same ish for how long. How many years? This is not new. Only difference is he has 0 fcks to give at this point.
Lol. You have 4 love linkages together, but none of them are Chiron, which represent marriage and commitment. There are 4 Saturn bonds. You are the Saturn person, which means you have a level of control over this person. You share no Chiron Linkages. Chiron points to your potential marriage partner. You also share a Venus and Chiron clash, which is called the IMPOSSIBLE DREAM CLASH. It creates that mutual attraction like the linkage, but since it’s a clash it’s not long lasting and eventually will cause problems. You also share Sexual linkages, which has the other person obsessed, which creates an Astrological Spell, because of the Saturn bonds. What strikes me is the other person will contribute to your finances, or will give you money or anything you need etc which is a Jupiter and Pluto linkage. Worse of all you share A CLASSIC SCHISM, Saturn and Mars Clash. You both can bring out the VERY WORSE in each other. Also the chemistry is unlikely there due to you not finding him attractive or what not. You have love for each other, but relationship wise its not there. But if you been with him a while, He’s probably not the one, but the money is looking good though I must say!
The heart of Man is never Satisfied,
I would like to try this:
12/23/1973 and 5/14/1969
Thank you
My opinion!!!!!!
Lmao listen she was the first old school West Indian woman I saw do this cus normally they take them back being that they been together from since back in the days. I remember people telling her she should take care of him so she can get her blessings but she said she can do without that particular blessing lmao it’s been years since he died I always crack up when I talk to her cus she still don’t give a fawk ????
Lawwwwd these Jew-ish people finna come collect him
Nope, a few have excused this as a simple mistake and bashed ones who went off on him. Yup, heard a Jewish commentator say “This was not anything but a mistake and he apologized, which is something trump would not do, so it was a sincere one.”
Even said the person at the Anne Frank museum, was just reaching for attention for snapping on Sean.
I could only SMDH
I agree with the both of you. Tiny was already broken and he fed off that. But its also time foe her to get counseling. I was listening to an interview Mary J did on the breakfast club, do you know she said that she hasn’t considered counseling. I’m thinking really?!?! After this fiasco, a counselor should be to the top of your list!
Unlike Tiny, Mary was completely broken and is in the process of taking responsibility for the part she played in this……her situation is still new, so counseling isn’t where she will go. I think Mary, because she has a religious background, she will turn to prayer first and work her way to counseling.
Tiny ain’t been fully broken….and that is what it will take to even give her a remote chance of leaving.
I know where they both are, as I had to be completely broken and almost destroyed before I finally let go. I went straight back to prayer and then worked my way up to the next steps.
100 points for the wife.. Straight Gansta.
Agreed. He damn sure doesn’t love her. His perverted, twisted version of love doesn’t count at all.
Exactly. The first step is admitting that there is a problem and that you incapable of solving it on your own. We get that she may have had low self esteem when she met TI and that he may have taken advantage of it. Now what? Do you continue to walk around in life with low self esteem being used by men, or do you try to better yourself? Coddling time is over. She is 50 with six kids it is time that she got herSELF together. No excuse. She has access to too many resources.
They need stop sharing the bedroom with their husbands….. Now it’s a distraction .. HELP US GOD … JUST SAD
I think he loves her, but was never and never will be IN love with her. He loves the thought of her, loves what she can do for him, loves what she does for family. She prob got a pretty good pocketbook (kitty cat), which keeps him coming back. They’re going to be just like Janet and Wissam, separate, but not divorce.
I’m LOVING this!!! She’s my hero!!!!
The fact that Steve got money didn’t hurt either!! That money let her overlook his country ass, toupee wearing, big-lipped self!
I hate the ride or die crap. You’re right…a lot of that mess is associated with low self esteem and low self confidence. Why I gotta die? Not to mention, the men usually doing whatever they want in these relationships.
Tiny was out of commission (pregnant) while all this adultery went down. I’m suspecting T.I. is having a mid life crisis, as men do.
Applause you are hired for the job of reprogramming Tameka..Lol
Oh I know this all too well. And I can guarantee you that she heard the following the entire time (just a few phrases):
You are too strong
You think too much
Why can’t you let me lead? – But when he was left to lead, went no where.
She will have to be severely hurt to even consider leaving, although at this point, I am afraid for her emotional stability when it happens. She has been dealing with this for so long, it is normal to her.
As for him, he will never leave her fully…as she IS necessary for his survival and she feeds his ego and desire for a happy family.
How did Tiny get through TSA with that Christmas onesie on?
Good Morning or Early Afternoon E-Vanna!
She wasn’t on a Buddy Pass, so she was good. LOL
Lol! My bad girl! I looked for your reply on the other post but I couldn’t find it. Daquan has been acting up majorly for me on my iPhone. Thank you for reading my stars! ?True Sagittarius!! ?I’m forever free-spiriting ????
Still had to be searched, I’m sure. Da hell is that hiding in her rump?
CTHU——-perhaps her self esteem.
I hope TI does not run reckless with these hoes, my brother friend was happily married until he woke one day and wanted to wild out like his friends not realizing his friends were smart and using protection with them hoes, he ended up Contracting HIV, he told my brother on his death bed he wished he would have stayed married.
Just draggin’ it behind (no pun) her, huh? LOL
Men get HIV from OTHER MEN or IV drug use. I have yet to see one man who can IDENTIFY the woman who gave him HIV. GO educate yourself and stop repeating gay and liberal bs lies. They’re lying on black women to PROTECT black Gays. HIV from sex with a woman is Possible but very unlikely. The odds are like getting struck by lighting TWICE.
I hope it helped you. May God bless you!?
To be fair she never said women or men. She said hoes, which can be used for both. Ps I’m not getting involved with the argument about how hiv is contracted. I just wanted to point out that men can be hoes too.
CutdBS this was back in the mid 90’s and the girl was a stripper.
I’m still rooting for Tip and Tiny… I really feel sorry for anybody that gets with T.I. because Tiny will always be in his life. If you date Tip just know that Tiny will always be somewhere in the picture — and I bet you they don’t get divorced…
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!
Now you know they don’t play!!! Mess up on their history and they will take you down!!!
God bless you as well Ms. Cali ?
True
Whuuut????
Girl, if I had not heard it myself, I would not have believed it
They’re going to clean this up very quickly. They don’t want the jew-ish Mafia coming for them.
Exactly…before it was behind closed doors maybe a video caught here or there. Think about it as many years they been riding for each other you only HEARD about his/her infidelity in the past three or so years. Now it just seems like he cant wait to run his mouth…
They have been trying- which included 3 statements in less then 30-minutes. They couldn’t even get it right in writing.
A lie in the mid 90’s is STILL going to be a lie in the 2000’s. PLease Educate yourself and stop repeating lies to protect black gays.
Where are the women who are infecting these men with HIV? ….possible but very, very, very rare. Other STD’S, yes, but HIV… they (heterosexual HIV positive men) need more people. Per the CDC, there are no confirmed cases of women infecting other women. Think about that….
“By re-interviewing (HIV positive) victims, their doctors, and their families, Chicago health officials found in 1997 that in 85% of the cases the city had blamed on heterosexual transmission, other risk factors were present. This phenomenon became a source of black humor at New York City’s overworked health department in the late eighties. “What do you call a man who got HIV from his girlfriend?” the joke went. “A liar.”
The truth is out there, but its not reaching people who have been needlessly scared—the result, some critics charge, of a conspiracy of silence. “It’s not in anybody’s interest to clear this up,” says Joseph Sonnabend, a physician who treated some of New York City’s first AIDS cases. Sonnabend, helped found what later became the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR), But he quit the group in the mid-eighties when it claimed—falsely, he believed—that a heterosexual epidemic could be coming. “Gay men don’t want it fixed because they’ll be blamed again for the disease,” Sonnabend says. “Charities like AmFAR don’t want it fixed because they’ll lose their funding. And “straight” men with HIV certainly don’t want it fixed because then everybody will know they’ve been having sex with men. Those are the ones who will scream bloody murder if you print all this stuff. You’re outing the poor bastards.”

See response
LOLLOLLOL!! You are absolutely right!
You are clearly a nut with wasted time on your hands..and I refuse to go back and forth with a crazy person..fuck you and your dissertation because I don’t have time to read your drawn out response.
Faggot or Dike
He wasn’t saying marriage was a distraction when he was a nobody trying to make a career happen and Tiny was holding him down with a
that Xscape $$$. Now he is the big man and he just doesn’t have time to do the thoughtful inconsiderate things a husband should do!!!! SMH… Don’t ever put anyone/ man before yourself ladies!!!
How sad…
hes talking, but the words… arent connecting for me. huh!???
Where is that @tanya30060 now to defend this clucker? Who is the fool now? This snitch don’t give a damn about Tiny holding him down. Loyalty means nothing to weaklings like TIP. But he wanna “represent” the people? Get your life straight mayne!
Dude talks in circles. Something that can be said in 10 words …TI will use 30 words to say it.
Your name should he Quite dreadful..
Why didn’t Tip divorce before living the single life? What does that tell his sons? Tiny allowed way too many shenanigans and went above and beyond trying to perfect herself to keep him from straying and he still is ready… to…go. She’s a better woman than me. That ninja would be alone on a deserted island with a basketball for a companion, if it were me.
I have said this before; however it bears repeating. Ride or die equates to the dude “riding” and the female “dying” a Shakespearean style death 1,000 times.. ….
Agreed…at times you end up just thinking you are better off being single…
And why is that?!?!?!?!??!!? I’m here empathizing with you about the situation and you getting all belligerent…
Where you not taught to be detailed when expressing empathy, I apologize because I thought you were calling me sad because I was going back and forth CutdBS.
I didn’t figure I had to be detailed. I just assumed that you knew that I was referring to a sad situation. I understand though… when many fonts are going on at once it can get a little confusing. Just so you know, I never come on here to do battle. I come only for the info and the laughs…
I guess the ones I typically come into contact with don’t fit into those statistics. Sorry the ones who have hurt you have.
I will say this. We as a people need to get our shyt together. Some black men are just like the ones you speak off and will dog a sista out in a nano second. I get that..but I have met way more awesome bruhs than the ones you have described.
I apologize this is the first time I have posted something on SR and someone challenged me and that pissed me off so I went on rampage, I will never post a comment again.
I don’t think it was social media that did them in, it was the money and the access he had to those “exotical” women that he likes. Money and fame changed his perspective.
He should have NOT carried on with this marriage if he knew how he felt about it really…nothing like wasted time!!! that is something Tiny cant have back!!!
I think he was tired of people making jokes about her looks and he is attracted to women who.look way better than her I’m sure he loves her and that’s fucked up how he just said he don’t wanna be married he rather pay child support and alimony but he wants his freedom he clearly does not wanna be tied down to her anyway I t h ink he got a girlfriend bernice but that’s fucked up deep inside she is hurt
It was pretty clear to me. Not quite seeing how what you said could be misread. Maybe it’s just me.
Her butt does look weird, I wish she’d remove those dumb implants.
Don’t get discouraged. It’s hard when writing because when speaking you can go by a persons tone to determine if it’s a diss on not. When writing it can come across as harsh — even when it’s not meant to. There are a few thorns in the rose garden that love to troll and insult but just ignore them and do your thing. This blog can be a lot of fun. Sometimes the comments and tomfoolery are hilarious.
Eh…He got married too young. Before that he was seeing his sons’ mother in a long term relationship. He’s having his midlife crisis early. He didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy the single life as a bachelor with money.
RIP Charlie Murphy!!
Damn people forgot that is was Tiny who filed for divorce first not T.I. it was T.I. who kept asking to go back when Tiny broke it off several times and it was T.I. who chased Tiny in the beginning of their relationship so I don’t understand why people are going in on her. T.I. is going through a midlife crisis and Bernice chic is a opportunist. everyone especially the men who keep saying how fine this Bernice woman is and T.I. should replace Tiny because Bernice looks better is that the same thing your grandmother told your father about your mother? I am sure there was a pretty young thang they wanted him to get with but he chose your mother instead because he loved her just the same. looks aren’t everything and Bernice body is just as manufactured as many of these IG models. Bernice like the side chick she is and what many of them do taunt the wife letting them know he chose her T.I. and Tiny love each other even been through a lost of a daughter trust a man is not going to stay where he don’t want to be and since Tiny filed for divorce shows who wanted out firs! This is his way of not trying to look stupid to only flip it to say I don’t want to be married anymore FOH! He been with her since her daughter was 4 it takes time to invest in a relationship and both of them invested lots of time. Trust when Tiny moves on and I rooting for that she will he will have several problems with her dating including not wanting the next man around his children.
You can talk about YOUR people but to demean a whole race is called stereotyping. We are suffering a great deal yet we do have amazing men who are fathers, doctors, lawyers and leaders
Right!
I just saw that OMG I loved him in all the movies he has played in as well as his comedian style. RIP sad day in the Murphy camp
I definitely agree because I’ve been there and done that. My comment is based on that experience lol
Thanks, I learned from experience
What people fail to realize is that one day you may wake up and not want to be in a marriage or relationship anymore and that’s perfectly okay. Let’s be realistic
That happens sometimes
I agree, Been there Done that
It saddens me that Tiny has altered her appearance so much in the hopes of please TI that she deformed herself. I remember seeing a pic of her pregnant with her first daughter and she was cute with the wait. Now she ruined her body for a man who still plans to leave. She took a drug rap for a man who plans to leave. TI had great benefits being with Tiny and took total advantage.
I hope tiny hears what he is saying . No time to consider yo wife feeling cause you are making ends meet huh …interesting…isn’t he suppose to cling into his wife? … What does his sons think of his example.?
Go to the corner and stick your nose in it right now. LOL.
We’re going to lift Tiny up on our shoulders as soon as she decides to stand up.
Which move playa? Talk to me! LOL.
#ofpettiness The problem is Tiny believes that TI is the prize in the relationship and doesn’t know her own worth. If ever she was able to tell him “I’m the REAL prize in this relationship”, make him believe it when she says he because SHE BELIEVES IT, then turn around and walk with her arse switching and show him the door; she’d be winning. As long as she has tears he has no fears.
Another thing is this, if TI really cared for Tiny Bamboolicky wouldn’t even be on the net stunting. TI would protect her honor even as they prepare for this divorce. TI is allowing Tiny to be humiliated because he felt humiliated when she filed for divorce and the world found out. He will say the PC thing to the media but inside he is plotting the pain.
As long as she has tears he has no fears
——————————————————–
Yup!!! When she finally stops shedding tears he better watch out because that’s when she truly does not give a damn….
Yeah… You are right… I held out hope to the bitter end but if he really cared about her (even while still fugging around) he would make darn sure that no side hoe throws shade towards the mother of his children. This should be a deal breaker for him. As soon as she started posting dumb stuff he shoulda dropped her right back into the gutter trash where he first found her…
I can’t wait! I can’t wait for her to stop talking. Don’t respond to social media, thots, public forums, comments, interviews and his calls. I can’t wait! He needs to be relegated to text messages and emails only about the children.
I don’t care how hurt she feels. Silence is truly golden. Men hate to be ignored, especially a narcissistic man. Her only talks should be about her new album or business ventures. All those nail salons and businesses she closed for the sake of his ego she needs to go get back to working and opening. Get with the botched doctor reverse all that stupid plastic surgery and move the F on from TIPping over.
Pay him dust and let him wonder. She needs to let Bernie Bugout and TI have each other. By June Bernie and Ti will we a done item.
I agree wholly. Like I said TI is allowing the humiliation of TI as payback for Floyd and the divorce filing. Unfortunately Floyd stepped up to drag TI for Tiny and she sided with TI so she cant call on Floyd anymore.
Don’t get it twisted. TI doesn’t forget and he will be dealing with Bernie Bugout and he will repay in a special way.
Bernie Bugout!!! LOLLLOLLLOL!!!!! Some people just don’t know what to do with their money — messing with her eyes and carrying around them two haunches she’s tryna pawn off as her rump!!! It’s crazy… all of the ‘corrective’ surgeries and he’s still looking at other women…
Because it was never just about how SHE looks but about how he feels. He’s just not that into her. Bernard Buggaboo may have fake body parts too, all be them constructed better. TI just doesn’t desire Tiny which is why he needed to have other women in their bed to keep his interest and arousal.
It’s not because Tiny isn’t a good woman but because she doesn’t know she’s the prize. What narci isn’t flattered by women changing their bodies, identities for him and fighting over him?
#savage
Right, which is why women should do it for themselves if they are going to do it.
Especially this last one. She is precious and all, but they didn’t need to bring her into this mess.
I’m going cuz I know I am wrong! ? She seems like an incredibly sweet person so I am hoping she can step back, see her worth and let go gracefully. She has daughters and one is an adult. She needs to be mindful of the message she is sending as a result of her behavior. Same goes for TI.
I feel you cause I’ve been in a similar situation as she in terms of being in love with someone, and thinking the same way. Hopefully for the kids she’ll wise up. It’s going to take a lot of time tho.
Yep
Tiny is insane and bi-polar, she filed for divorce but is bragging about having this scum bag in her bed to his side chick??? is she for real?? tiny seek help and make up your mind, do you want this marriage or not? stop talking to the side chic and get you some self esteem, common sense and log off of twitter!
I am sorry but stereotypes are so on point. Numbers dont lie, just you
Yea in my field of work and according to the stats I think you live in a bubble.
I can’t!!! Falling and I can’t get up. Lololololol
Come on Tiny! He is a POS. Please leave this man, nothing will change with him, you can still do business, raise kids,…happiness is waiting. sign those papers girl.
WTF IS HE SAYING???
“It seems to me that marriage and what marriage means and what marriage does, it’s just of those things that’s going to distract me and determine. And that could be selfish, but ultimately, I’m the patriarch of this family. And it’s my responsibility to take us onward and upward. I just have a purpose and I don’t always have the time to do the thoughtful and considerate things that a husband should do.”
HUH???
I would like a tummy tuck. But eating better and exercising would do the trick. I’m lazy tho.
Honey there message has already been sent! Now it’s time to write a new response. Talking to or about TI for the next 24 months is not it. Keep the divorce DL, make moves in silence. Make him sign in the divorce to front ALL the $$$ to restart all her businesses he had her to close and fund them into success. Be busy working Tiny! Take your asxzz to a job.
Whelp in a way she did it for herself. She believed it would get her who she wanted, and TI still roamed.
I so agree.
Thank you
I always thought he married her because she wanted it. she held him down while he was locked up so he finally caved in. Even on her show with toya tiny was complaining of not being married. TI was never invested in that marriage.
She should have hired a professional stylist to help her with her look. She looks ghetto cheap and tacky.
She will be in the picture because they have kids together. He obviously doesn’t want her. Once you reach that point its usually no going back. Tiny should have acted a little more mature and not be living for instagram and fighting with chicks on there. That was just stupid. She was looking for validation concerned about the blogs and now she’s been embarrassed. I do pity her. I hope she can learn from this listen and move on. As for TIP. His star is fading. Let it fade.
She’s looking like an unemployed elf.
Say it ain’t so… not even the Frank museum???
Exactly
Yes your right to an extent. He did show her, they were married for some years. Im not saying he cant leave, im sayin his reasons are disgusting and selfish.
Nah, I don’t ….but I feel badly for you though.
You said it all! Remember how he was talking sideways when Russell Wilson was first seen around baby future? You’re right!!! He’s going to give her a hard time, if they divorce and she starts dating.
She can’t log off twitter. She needs the online validation.
I love my family and husband but that doesnt negate the fact that most black men are not doing their jobs empowering their kids, communities, or theirselves.
Thats a lot of kids not to want to be with someone no more…
My heart goes out to the children who have to live through this publicly…
Sometimes I have little faith in relationships and marriage bc of seeing shit like this all of the time…btwn social media, the “temptation”, men who have little to no restraint or loyalty, bitches that take pride in sleeping with married men, like yo–I find myself being so discouraged at times smh..Tiny went through all of that body modification–probably to feel more secure within herself bc she has to compete with these manufacted bodied bitches her husband be lusting over, on top of reading mean comments about her looks smh i wish her strength n positivity. On another note T.I has been looking tired n like he’s the one crying himself to sleep at night…
There are a lot like that and honestly WE women need to give birth to better sons and CHOSE WISELY who we breed with. If a man has shown you (in general) he ain’t shit…I MEAN, HE’S SHOWING YOU THAT…why the hell would a woman give him the time of day?
You see, I don’t believe that “Well you can’t help who you fall in love with” bull. YES, YOU CAN. Better choices result in better outcomes. Better outcomes result in wiser ways to raise children.
Your an idiot if you feed into stereotypes and think its ok….. sad people have not traveled the world or become cultured…..
Oh, look at Tiny. She destroyed her self esteem and body trying to keep him. Messed with her eyes to change their color. Look at that odd behind she has now. She needs to rebuild her life. I hope she meets someone who adores her.
Not many of those rappers are married and if they are they have harems on the side. SMDH…I wouldn’t want any part of that. Mansions and misery. No thanks.
no u are an idiot, numbers dont lie just you
idk but they do…..aloooooot of black men just dont have it together and most black women are desperate
No your alternatives facts and stereotypes are proof of your trolling .. poof be gone
Amen to that.
If u honestly think numbers are alternative facts and u truly believe 72 percent of the black homes are missing fathers and u think that’s trolling, then u are even a bigger idiot than I thought
they will be back together, watch.
Exactly my thoughts
That shit with Mayweather, he feels, has him looking like a damn fool, which has caused that trust to be deleted. I’m speaking from a man’s point if view. WE HATE ANOTHER MAN HAVING ACTION AT WHAT’S SUPPOSED TO BE OURS.
oh stfu. ??
