tiny and ti hellobeautifulAt this point, it’s indisputable, Tiny and T.I. are the 2011 Bonnie & Clyde. Talk about a “ride or die” chick, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle Harris has stood by her husband T.I.’s side like glue; despite rumors of alleged groupies, multiple jail sentences and ridicule from the media. According to T.I., Tiny was the bread-winner in the beginning of the relationship and held it down while he pursued his career as “King Of the South.”

Tiny is atypical from the many female partners to hip-hop stars we see on television today. As one of the members of the hit 90′s girl group Xscape, Tiny is hard worker who’s earned her own money. She isn’t on television fighting other women in a dramatic, drink-throwing fashion or squandering away her man’s money on shoes and bags.

Tiny and T.I look to promote strong family values on his and her new reality show “The Family Hustle” which airs tonight on VH1. We caught up with the cute couple on the red carpet of “The Family Hustle” screening where she made her husband blush with embarrassment!

“The King” smiles when addressing why they chose to do the show,”We felt that it was best to do this to dispel certain rumors, assumptions and speculations so you can see it for what it is.”

When asked what makes Tiny beautiful to him he responded: “I like that she is a strong, loyal, driven person; I appreciate that!”

    MANY DONT GRASP THE CONCEPT OF HOW MUCH LOYALTY MEANS TO US SOUTHREN FOLK I HEAR OFTEN PEOPLE SAY EWE WHAT HE DOING WIT HER AND VICE VERSA BUT THE REALITY IS WHEN TWO PEOPLE  HAVE THAT LOYALTY AND  UNDERSTANDING ALL OTHER THINGS ARE OBSOLETE AND YOU SIT BACK AND TRIPP OFF HOW THE ONES ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN ARE CONSTANTLY HATIN ON YOU AND YOUR SITUATION WHICH IN TURN MOTIVATE THE MAN TO BE MORE HARDER AND HIS LADY RIDE WITH TO THE DAME WHEELS ROLLOFF ONLY THE ONES INVOLVED KNOW HOW MUCH THEY CAN TAKE AND HOW FAR THEY WILLING TO GO POINT BLANK PERIOD

    That is how it’s suppose to be, hold it down for your man, and Tiny did it way before T.I
    became rich and famous. A woman with this kind of drive spells out nothing but Success.
    She worked hard , earned and gained success, had a man who was of no comparison to her 
    at the time, and with the willingness of T.I to strive for success and with the massive support 
    he got from this woman, the sky was the limit. A woman like Tiny is a hard Gem to find

    There are two types of” Ride and Die Chicks”, one who will stick by her man because without this man, she is doomed (No financial support and all the luxuries that come with it ) and on the other hand one who has something substancial going on in her life but will stick by her man’s side. Tiny applies to the latter, and it’s not surprising at all when T.I says that she loves her cos she is a strong, loyal, driven person who has her own money…now which  man will not love these qualities in a woman.

    I believe Mr. Harris just shut all the HATERS up permanently. Stop worring about how she looks on the outside people, her husband sees ALL her beauty, not just the outside. YAY for TI & Tiny!!!

    i for one is not a fan for reality shows, but i have to say i did like what i saw last night i think they are so beautiful together made me laugh. when i saw her last night i was thinking the same wow she is not a looker but i had to step back and see all the love they have for one other as they say looks is in the eye of the beholder and what came out of the show last night SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON…. I will be watching ….

    As much as I like T.I and admire them as a couple because they are happy. As much a T.I has been through, it is great to see someone stand by their man. However,  I can not bring myself to watch this show because quite frankly Tiny reminds of a little munchkin and I can not stand that voice. Call me superfical but she’s very irritating to me and I couldn’t stomach watching her on their show. Sorry it’s my opinion.

    Ms. Jade……. you mean to tell me that you cant watch this show because of her voice? SMH…. I can just imagine how your LIFE is. Wow, thats a deep statement right there. You wouldnt want to see a show thats positive, motivating to a person to be a better person because of Tiny’s voice, the one GOD GAVE HER AND WANTED HER TO HAVE. WOW LOL thats deep in the streets right there. I feel so sorry for you, and how ignant ( yeah my word) for missing out on happiness that can only INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE YOU. SMH…… WOW…… WOW WOW WOW.

    A brother keeping it real, thats what up.  Say what you want but he did not run to a white woman as soon as he gathered a little success.  Big ups to TI & Tiny!

  • Anonymous

    Glade, as you are entitled to your opinion, I believe that such is the case with me. My life is great by the way, so thanks for your concern. Doesn’t matter how positive the show may be, I just get irritated with the way she talks. It grinds on the nerve. Please don’t throw the what God gave her into the picture because we are not talking about looks, but a voice. First of all I am not from the south, so that may be part of it. Also, I am a grown woman with a great family, a successful business and a spiritual strength that many won’t understand, so unlike  many that require others to “inspire”them simply by watching a reality show, listening to a song on the radio or seeing a movie, I don’t need it.

    As for your feeling sorry for me, thanks but no thanks, I would suggest you save your
    sympathy for someone that really could use it. The idea that a celebrity’s happiness actually will affect your life makes me SMH. Inspiration should come from the people around you in your personal life not from a reality show on which people are scripted.

    I love their relationship because it seems as if they really love one another.. For everyone saying she isnt cute Im pretty sure someone is saying that about you right now because after all beauty is in the eyes of the beholder…

    these two make me weak. i really wish he just stayed rapping with his bird chest and pretty nipples out… because the more i see him speak and the more i see him with her and they BOTH speak, i’m over and done. i dont like them as people. not “don’t like them” in a dislike hate way… just don’t like them in a “if i met these people as regular people, not famous people, we probably wouldn’t be hanging out together.” they just dull and unintelligent. i mean seriously? the negro was thrown by the word “philosophy.” i’m weak, i tell you.

    It’s funny reading some of these comments. Some of yall are acting like yall would do the same as Tiny when you know damn well yall wouldn’t. Tiny’s a diamond in the rough, one in a million, a last of a dying bread, a true ride or die chick. She’s an over all good person. I saw that in her ever since the Tiny and Toya show. Some of yall need to cut the bullsh*t drama filled attitude and take heed. Maybe your relationships would last a little longer. You can’t go around blaming all your problems on men. That sh*t aint gonna fly too much longer. People are starting to get hip to the bullsh*t.

    I didn’t think that I would like another reality show coming. I was so sick of women putting each other down, and fighting like men. However, This show is a big surprise. They are a fun loving couple, who are not afraid to show their true side. And, they truly seem to love each other, and their family as a whole. Cannot wait for next week. Kudos to Ti&Tiny.

  • http://twitter.com/mercedescute E. Paris Walker

    So, Ms. Jade, because a person’s look is unappealing to you, you cast the show aside. How superficial of you. The fact that she is a positive person, does not grasp your attention in the least. Wonder how you look.

    I have no idea who these people are nor do I know the guy’s music but it’s unbelievable how we continue to promote uneducated and thugs as something our kids should aspire to. What exactly have these two people done for the world that enables them to have an article devoted to them? Get real Black people!

    I loved the fact that Tiny is the real deal keeping it real unlike some of these so called ladies who dated/married or engaged to rich black men. I can’t stand when some sistas go on talking about buying designer clothes as if their life depends on it. SMDH There’s MORE TO LIFE than buying expensive clothes especially when doing so with a rich man’s money. Tiny at least will be one of those smart black women who won’t be broke or homeless in 20 years because she’s a true hustler. The rest of them ladies who don’t get a clue will be the broke ass ones whining in a few years. Get and make your own damn money is how a sista supposed to roll. I loved the fact that T.I. truly appreciated this good sista who got his back through better and worse whether they’re married or not. And beauty is skin deep and all about the BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT within all of us not how you look. How many times have we seen/heard about beautiful people in the spotlight or our communities who don’t have great relationships? If you based a relationship on a person’s looks alone, than you deserve what they bring to you….because that’s life until some look, listen and learn, they will NEVER BE HAPPY OR CONTENTED.

    because her face doesn’t say beauty.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/dkh2/ dkh2

    They both gave great answers as to why they think that their spouse is beautiful.  No matter what other people say or think, when you are married you are always supposed to see your spouse as beautiful.

    Hilarious.  Did you notice in the video that the HB reporter Shamika was the person who brought up the word “philosophy”?  Tip didn’t bring the word up, he just repeated the word back to Shamika when he responded.  

    I am glad that he used that word and other words, because he speaks very intelligently.  We have enough music starts running around either sounding as if they barely made it out of the 7th grade or purposefully dumbing down their speech to “fit in”.

  • http://twitter.com/currvalicious elaineL.

    I’ve always liked these two as a couple.  I couldn’t stand when ppl used to bash her, calling her ugly and such.  As if he could’ve done better than her, well frankly he did just fine having Tiny as a mate.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it’s not for us to judge love.  I really don’t think he would’ve made it w/o her support and presence in his life all these yrs.

    You can’t do anything but respect them as a couple. Most people wish they have what those two have. Tiny may not be beautiful in other people’s eyes, but that man LOVES her, and I love them!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/neeniebeanie18 Janeen

    I agree Tiny is a good woman for sticking by T.I.’s side through all the drama, but she’s not the only one. Think of all the good women who have stuck by their man’s side, only to have them leave for a hot little fling when they got themselves together. Point is, it takes two to stick it out and make it TOGETHER. If both aren’t 100% committed it won’t work, not matter how ride or die you are.

    i am the same way,i have low tolerance for entertainment which is annoying so wat i am pretty gr8 person,all that good life as well but ppl who look or sound unappealing i prefer not to watch or listen to…nothing wrong with that…sheesh no offense if you are not appealing

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/intimatebreeze510/ intimatebreeze510

    T.I.  love Tiny, he sees her heart and treasures her beauty to him, she is beautiful …..at the end of the day you can be pretty and beautiful, but if you lack quality substance on the inside, like judge judy say “beauty fades, and DUMB is forever.”  

    Wish them both the best,”black love is so beautiful.”

  • Anonymous

    I believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder….but in reality people judge her solely on her looks and not the Woman she is…only a real man can appreciate someone who is there for him and holds it all together if hes there or not. i wont say i have a newfound resapect for T.I. but i do see him in a whole new light and Tiny for that matter. thats black love right there….thats a black family. if men would judge a woman on how big her values, goals and dreams are and not how big her butt is then women would have a different outlook on the men they want to attract and not feel like they have to get butt shots and implants to deem herself worthy.
