T.I. Shares His Love For Tiny



T.I. Shares His Love For Tiny
Incarcerated rapper T.I.'s love for his wife, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle is front-and-center in the March issue of XXL. The rapper sent a Valentine's Day message into the magazine expressing how much he loves and appreciates the woman that has been with him during gun and drug arrests.
Sorry--'through gun and drug arrests.' She's been with him through gun and drug arrests.
"Can’t say enough about how special of a woman I have," T.I. shares. "It takes a lot to endure the worst of times and still stay grounded during the best of times. She’s been able to do so for long as I can remember. For all that and more, I just adore her in every way. I love her spirit, her heart, her integrity and her loyalty. She’s the love of my life and the girl of my dreams. I’ve heard so much about it being hard for true love to exist in the fast lanes of Hollywood, when dudes can’t stay respectfully committed and chicks can’t stay out their man’s pockets. But somehow she makes it easy, and we never had those problems."
"Some women can’t keep up with their men and other can’t seem to slow theirs down," the rapper continues. "She’s shown that she can do both in grand fashion. A man like me couldn’t ask for a better match. When the world has turned on me and there is darkness all around, she finds a way to bring light in my life and provide positive energy in the face of some of the most extreme circumstances. As long as we have us, f*ck da world….nothing else really matters. I’d lay my life down for her and wouldn’t blink about it. In my eyes, she’s the most beautiful woman inside and out. I wouldn’t trade her for all the sun on the beach. As much as I’ve done wrong in life, I’m convinced that I must’ve done something right to deserve a woman as great as her. And I’ll forever do all I can to continue to show my undying love and appreciation."

That's a beautiful message of love and appreciation for his woman. Whom he feels has been his shiny star amongst the darkness. TI has been a favorite artist of mine. I respect him even more as a man because of his value of what life Is really all about. One of them being a down ass woman that has your back and loves you unconditionally...

Your professional job is to write rhymes so your words at some point may not mean that much. Love requires actions so show her you love yourself first and then show her that you deserve her and your family by doing the right things. Don't take her love the love of your family and your fans for granted. Love yourself as much as she does!

Crystal D. said...

Awwww..ii loveee it..yu can't find too many good men out there that is willing to do anything for his lady..staying true to her and all..ii loveee it..ii never thought ii would hear Mr. Harris express himself like this..<3

Unknown said...

Even though he got locked up, we all know he got locked up because he is a black entertainer. Lets keep it real yall, He got knocked at first for havin guns,,Maybe a bit to many, but overall something that every other dude I know has, and second they got knocked as a cpl for smoking some kush,, again a everyday thing for most,,so plz dont judge ppl, alot of us do this shyt on a daily, they just happen to be famous and got caught up. For instants Lindsey Hohan,,she all smoked out and burnt out but she was up in rehab...that should tell yall whats good in america..

I'm in tears, this was so good to hear ! T.I. is a real man, I give props. She is a very lucky women to have him, that has love for her like that and than to put it out there in a magazine for the whole world to see ! YOUR THE BOMB ( I think different now )

Kera said...

Yea.... show your love and appreciation from a jail cell. I hate relationships like this. I think it's stupid to even BE with someone who's making terrible decisions in life. She set herself up for a jailbird husband. His life in the spotlight keeps him away from home enough and then he gets locked up? gets out out only to go right back? Knowing that he's already a felon? Get the fuck outta here. I don't admire their relationship at all. I know couples in the hood that are just like them. At least T.I is rich tho and his fam will be straight regardless. Women in the hood tho, your man will probably NEVER get a job with felonies on his record. You and your kids will suffer and you'll carry his weight financially. You're even more dumb than Tiny if you go through that.

Brandy said...

wow that was really deep and I'm sure every female wished they had a man to say something like that. Whoever said he dont love her cuz he keep gettin locked up need to stop hating male or female. That was beautiful T.I. yall keep doing yall and fuck the rest all yall need is eachother. Much Love and respect and always a fan.

Anonymous said...

Yes he really showing how he loves his wife but what about his kids? Why would he keep putting his self in situations like this. Yes Tiny has to be strong for her self and for the kids who else is going to do it. If he cared so much he would stay his self out of trouble. ANY guys can say how much he loves his gf, wife, or whatever but if you keep on doing the same thing, where is the love in that? The kids suffer to during all of this.. T.I. needs to think about them first! Then again Tiny was in the ride with him doing the same thing he was so their both just one in the same.

kera said...

LMAO So everybody's all in tears cuz he said some beautiful shit? yea okay. Yall go find yall some guys who sell and use drugs and have felonies. Put yourself through hell and be the best thing he ever had so he can love you and say beautiful shit to you too. lmao People's mentalities are just....

Anonymous said...

T.I is and always will be one of my favorite rappers and finding out he has such a sweet side of him makes me respect him even more because he knows he has a good woman. Most women out here like to cause drama and men don't like that and he knows his love of his life and very unique and he's going to hold on to it. I LOVE YOU T.I.!!! Keep up the good work :))

All ya hatas go sumwhere wid det bull ishh bruhh. She ah soldier standin by ha man & bein tru why he in jail. He still doin it big so hatahs shove det ishh sumwhere else. I love me sum t.i.

Anonymous said...

Yea Its great he loves her so much an maybe it took him getting locked up numerous times an her having his children to realize how she had his back but come on ppl.. Really? Hes a young rich entertainer an she tolerated his lying an cheating for yrs that alone she deserves a metal..So him preaching love now has been long over due

kera said...

She dont deserve a medal..... she deserves exactly what she's getting. Putting up with bullshit for years isn't admirable. It's sad. Loyalty to me is when my man gets laid off and I'm there to build him up and help him get back on his feet or when everybody is in need, my man is the first one I'm making sure is alright. ONLY if he's making good decisions and he thinks about US before he does something wreckless. I'm not being loyal to someone who's been lying, cheating, and going back and forth to jail. That shit is for the birds. You chicks who don't realize that you can do better, and you women who have no clue what a healthy relationship is, yall can have that bs.

Unknown said...

he is blessed to have her. and he appreciates her. its hard to find a man thats truely appreciates you...

T.i. & Tiny are right for each other. They both like smoking, drinking and being careless. T.I. with all these songs talking about please forgive me .. He's starting to sound like Keith Sweat!! Tiny knows where the money is at so she staying. T.I. knows he could find any female to put with his shit because of who he is but he don't want to be paying child support to the kids he got with her and T.I. has a lot of kids. Yea what he said was nice but she knew he was felon when they hook up. Tiny is just like some females are .. when their guy do something really bad they stay around because maybe they don't have any money to get out of the relationship and kids are involved. She's use to it! She luvs that life style!

Fuck him and his lies. Right before he went to jail he banged my cousin so he can keep that love shit. If he really loved and respected her he would show and prove and quit doing dumb shit that lands him in jail and quit banging other chicks. Men in jail have a lot of thinking time and this was so typical. Puhleese spare me. Just stay outta jail long enought to make another decent album is all I need to hear from you not that fake love shit.

shasmin2012 said...

Damn it's a lot of haters on here. But yet if TI or Tiny would give u a chance y'all would be all on their dick! Shut up with that dumb shit. Just mad cause y'all don't have the love they have! Hatin hard but probably have every one of TI's albums! Ugh! Y'all need to go play somewhere cause TI nor Tiny is thinking twice bout y'all cause y'all wish y'all could be half as successful as they are! And Shasmin said that!

Ashleigh said...

Tiny must have a stalker since Samantha knows all her business, saying she dont work, and has no money. Well last I checked She has her own nail shop in Atl, and she has her female singing group O.M.G. Girls. So you sound jealous to me. I do agree that his actions speak louder than words. You both know that each of you like to party and have a good time (drugs) be cautious of what you do cause the consequences of your actions affect your household.

Some of yall are truly haters... The whole point of true love is loving each other so much that your flaws dont matter... loving each other during highs & lows... Some of you will never experience true love because your so worried about what everybody else thinks & trying to act better than... I would rather have a man with a million flawd than to have a perfect one that doesnt love me... Remember theres nobody 100% out there & if there was they wouldnt want you.... Go Tiny stand behind your man & fuck what the haters say... T.I knows hes got a good strong loving women

I hope T.I. takes all this negative energy people are posting and uses it to prove everyone wrong and be a better man. Some people it takes them several times to bump their heads to learn. Everyone is different. Good luck T.I. And nice choice of words.

Translation: "I am so glad I found a woman who's dumb enough to put up with all the bullSh*t that's included with someone like me. I know that a smart woman wouldn't accept who I am or stick around and continue to tolerate the lying, cheating, and all of my irresponsibilities. This is why I love her so much! Granted, no matter what, nobody's perfect and everyone makes mistakes, as long as I can keep saying things like that, she'll always forgive me and be there for me. I can do whatever the hell I want and she aint going no where......ya dig that shawty." Ladies, don't be stupid....please. Actions speak louder than words, so CLOSE YOUR EARS and OPEN YOUR EYES!!!

BULLSHIT... were you saying that shit when u had ur hand on my homegirls thigh asking if she was a freak?

SOMMERVILLE 4EVA said...

Love this comment he put out there, the best part was "f*ck da world", cuz can't nobody tell what's really going on in their relationship but them. Be safe and continute to hold each other down, cuz at the end of the day that's how y'all made it this far!

Wow; that's what I'm talking about.

Real Love are u ppl delusional or what?? Thats that jail talk talking...all dudes in jail claim love an devotion so they bitch on the outside helping them dont go somewhere else...If he truly loved her he wouldnt be trying to smash other chicks...an she do have her own money she was a recording artist too at one time..She had money an a career b 4 she even met him...They do love each other but its that "comfortable aint nobody gonna deal wit my bullshit like u do" love an AINT NOBODY HATING OVA HERE I JUST KNOW REAL FUCKIN LOVE WHEN I SEE IT...He was fuckin HOOPS for goodness sake...

sabrina coleman said...

that was the sweetest thing a man has ever said, its so nice to see a man notice the beauty and backbone of his women and appreciate her thats wat ups ti and tiny keep doin ur thing

Anonymous said...

"then why doesn't this fool show her how much he loves her by STAYING THE FUCK OUT OF JAIL"...

She was there for all that, knowing all that. It takes too, like he said, he has a real woman, a woman that will go thru thick and thin. Hell, she was ready to take charges for him. Don't hate on their "ride or die" love. HATER!!!!

That was some real, deep expression of love T.I.. Middle finger to all of your haters.

Anonymous said...

What I don't understand is how if he loves her so much can he not stay outta jail? I mean come on tip the first time you went in to girl wasn't there but then you got caught up again with her this time. I like the love you reflect with words but bro ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!! real talk.......
