T.I. & Tiny Renewed For 2nd Season

T.I. and Tiny's popular reality show, "T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle" will be returning for a second season. The show features the couple's married family life and proved to be a hit for VH1; averaging 2.4 million total viewers.

Scheduled alongside "Love & Hip Hop" and "Basketball Wives" give VH1 the top ratings on Monday nights among 18-49 year old women.

So far, the show has been T.I.'s biggest post-prison success as he preps his first album in two years. The rapper also has several new films in the works.

Tiny Blasts Prison Authorities

Tameka "Tiny" Cottle isn't holding her tongue as it pertains to her feelings about her husband T.I.'s return to prison. She's complained again to the media about the unfair treatment her hubby has received from law enforcement authorities.

"It's important that the world know how unfair he's being treated on such minor charges ... all because he's T.I.," she told TMZ. "There are way more dangerous and carefree [celebrities] that get slapped on the wrist and sent on their way."

"Our family needs [him] ... and because of someone's personal vendetta against him, we have to watch our kids' sad faces everyday when he still doesn't show up at home," she added.

Tiny Speaks On T.I.'s Violation

Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, wife of e-incarcerated rapper T.I., has broken her silence on her husband's return to prison for a mysterious transportation violation. The Atlanta native blasted officials for taking issue with T.I. leaving the Forrest City, Arkansas prison facility in a lavish motor coach.

"[They] walked him over, took pics and told him good luck in life." Tiny says, "This is a bunch of bulls**t ... they should have said something before he got on the bus. T.I. would have politely gotten into a van."

She adds, "T.I. is one of the strongest individuals I know ... and they just trying to break him in more ways than one and it's not gonna work! 'Cause what God got for him, can't no man take that away ... period!"

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."
