In a revealing interview with MTV, T.I. speaks about his new album, the death of his best friend, and the relationship he has with Tiny.
Both have opted to just be friends, even though they are expecting a baby in a few months.
Here is a snippet:
He’s expecting a baby girl this July with longtime girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle. It will be T.I.’s and Tiny second child together. The two were even engaged, but have recently decided to amicably end their long relationship and remain friends.
“She’s still a part of my life,” he explained the turn their relationship has taken. “I love her to death. Her children is still my children, my children are still her children,” he said (both have kids from previous relationships). “We want each other to be happy. It’s nothing she did and it’s nothing I did.”

IS ANYONE SURPRISED1
It’s just so funny how the woman is always more than willing to call it quits once they have INSURANCE POLICY, oops, i mean once they are carrying his child. My bad! I’m not surprised at all. Next! Now at least he can upgrade.
Im not Jscene, but its sad that so many kids are being brought into broken homes, but if ur not in love with the person i guess u shouldnt be with them
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, im crushed. We were so close. Come and TI and Tiny, don’t do it…I know something is up with this? What happened?!? What the hell is going on in 2007!!!! LORD PLEASE HAVE MERCY…
If it’s nothing either of them did, then why are they breaking up?
She should of not took him back after he messed with that ho Hoopz.
As long as she and the baby are are healthy…that’s all that matters.
Let him leave and mess around with some random walking std…then he’ll learn…he had a good woman at home.
U definitely should NOT be with someone if there is no love there…because u aren’t doing anything “for the kids”. Anyway, this is definitely no surprise.
WELL MAYB THEY SHOULD JUST BE FRIENDS WITH BENIFITS, N I KNO A WHOLE LOT OF GIRLS R HAPPY AS HELL
They’ll be back 2gether.
If “good woman” means one who will pick and choose chicks for your 3somes…I guess…lmao
Wow! You jumped on this post real quick, all I did was refresh my page and bam! What are you doin’ JScene? I know everyone hates the num 1 post, but congrats to you. This probably made your afternoon… seriously. Anyhow, good for TI and tiny. No baby mama or papa drama!
I like T.I. cause he seems to handle his business like a normal person rather than put on a show for the media.
If they wanna break up that’s fine. It may work out better for them and the kids. If they live together and fight everyday that’s not a good place to raise kids. I say more power to them
They will probably be back together.
If not, they are living their lives how they see fit.
Not our place to judge
Jscene
It’s also very funny how a man will quickly lay up with a woman and have children with her before putting a ring on her finger.
What should he upgrade to? A Jennifer Lopez type or a Paris Hilton type?
That’s a perfect example of the phrase, “Whats Love Got to Do With It”? You know they love each other but you need so much more than that. And just because it’s good to you, doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Sometimes people just can’t get their shit together, which is too bad. Good luck to the both of them and their kids.
lol no I have a chance. yall know he stay up the street from me lol
ti was too cute for her anyway…i’m sorry but i did not find this woman remotely cute, nor pretty..
i think its the nose..lol
maybe it’s for the good of the kids..
i hope the baby is healthy though
Well, this no susprise nor is it shocking. NEXT!
somewhat i’m happy he’s single again but i’m sad for the whole situation because i’m a mother as well and that’s alot to handle when you break up wit your man and having to raise your child most of the time while your man get the child on the weekends. damn! sorry for the prolong but some can feel me on that. i wonder what happened they seemed to happier than ever here lately. i honestly don’t think he wanted another kid. that will definitely break a happy home. ask my child’s father. hum…………..
@10 Quart
Sorry, being number is not something for i strive for. I’m not that easily excited. My goodness people, is the number one spot that important? GHEESH!
@12 Shannon
You said what should he upgrade too, a Jennifer Lopez type or Paris Hilton? When I said upgrade, i meant he should get someone more his type. And since I dont know him i dont know what his type actually is, but i knew it was TINY! I think he was just with Tiny cause they got history and kids between them. And I think TI is a cool dude cause he seems to have some sense of loyalty. But I think he’s been wanting to stray for a while. I actually hope they both end of with someone they actually do love, and dont feel they have to stick it out for the sake of the kids.
THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD BE MARRIED BEFORE HAVING CHILDREN, STOP MAKING BABIES DAYUM!!!!!
why they always breaking up in march anyway now that’s suspect to me. last year they broke up in march alright i’ll go now.
@ 16
feel the same way she was ( is ) fugly !!!!!!! And TI is so HoT .
I got a feeling they will get back together. Wait until after the baby comes, will be seeing pics of them as a couple again.
*wished* they could have stayed together for the kids atleast. I hope he will stay connected w/ his kids. When it comes down to personal issues WE really dont know what the fuck happened soooo… ummmmm no comment just raise the kids and teach them how to be adults.
#17…this nigga got like 4 kids…she is not the only baby momma walkin around. I’m sure she’ll be i-ight…she does have another baby daddy too…
I’m sorry, but did dis Knee-grow say “her kids IS my kids”? Okay, who’s parenting who here? I need to know cause reading IS fundamental. Hood folks really need to get their acts together and stop reporducing so much… GOT DAYUM!
Angel should make this a “YAWN” post, because I bet even she doesn’t care.
Even if they were married then had kids doesn’t mean they would have stayed together. It doesn’t matter when you have kids if it’s over, it’s over and babies don’t make a man (or woman) stay!
I agree with Coko. Don’t stay together because of the kids. kids aren’t stupid. then can sense when things aren’t right. My question is, why o why won’t people stop having children? I don’t understand why our people (women) are doing this to themselves. I am so happy I don’t have any children. Especially for some of the ex’s who was attempting to make it happen. Ain’t nothing wrong with being friends with benefits. When you bring kids in the mix though, even though people say they are a blessing, they are a setback too. While a man can always jump ship and move on with his life (next woman) we as woman are still left to nurture and raise that child, whether the father is there or not. I can’s stand chicks with this “I want his baby” shit! You have your whole life to live and a world to see. I’ll be a childless woman before I settle. Cause I’m not struggling with our child on no tight ass salary. No thanks. I absolutely looooove my freedom too much and when it’s time to kick dude to to the curb, I don’t want no strings attached, especially long term ones. It’s so not a problem. I want children but the baby mama cycle in my family stops with me.
How he gon’ upgrade me? What’s higher than #1
U CAN’T TURN LESBOS INTO HOUSEWIVES. POINT TAKEN. AND STAYING TOGETHER FOR THE KIDS WILL LEAVE YOUR A** CRAZY.
I smell a rat but its cool that they are still cool.
NO MORE BAGS FOR YOU TINY!
You know…this is just sad. I think he knocked up Tiny after the rebound of ho’s he was screwin (Hoopz, etc) and tried to make it work, and they just realized after it was too late into the pregnancy that this shit aint gonna work! I am actually sorry for Tiny. I honestly feel that they love one another, but T.I. is fine as hell, and he’s the kind of brotha that’s gonna be out there..I mean he was messin with the chick from “ATL” as well, before Hoopz…she just need to cut em loose…you can’t make a good hoe a good house husband, or else they would all be like Kim Porter’s dumb azz! Best of love and luck to them both. If you really love something, then set it free…and T.I.’s azz is free…at least for the moment until they kiss and make up again!
ANOTHER BROKEN HOME ANOTHER FAILED RELATIONSHIP…GREAT SMH I HOPE THIS DOESNT LAST
Sorry to hear that and I hope the kids won’t be affected to much by their seperation. I guess its good they decided to split before they got married.
what a LYIN’ bastard. He knows damn well he just doesn’t wanna settle down with this chick who bent over BACKWARDS helping him with his career, did backflips and the whole 9 for his ungrateful ass.
This just goes to show you it doesn’t matter how well you support *certain men*… a dog ain’t nothin but a dog.
Now let’s see what chick he appears with now.
#28..YOU ARE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR! AMEN!!
awwwww They were a really cute couple!
DAMN AGAIN…..THEY REPPIN THAT HOOD LUV ……..SOMEBODY BETA JUMP ON THEM QUICK WITH A REALITY TV SHOW OR SOMETHIN(THINKING……) GOT IT!STRANGE LOVE 2
I am mad at T.I.
SEABREEZE COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER, WE ARE LEFT STUCK RAISING THIS MANS KIDS AND HE MOVES ON TO THE NEXT BROAD, THE CLUBS, AND KICKING IT WITH HIS BOYS. WHY DO WE PUT OURSELVES(WOMEN) IN THESE FU–ED UP SITUATIONS? YOU CAN NOT MAKE A BOY A MAN, IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY HE HAS.
So what this article is saying is that now me and t.i. can be together???
J/k but I’m with everybody else. These 2 will be back at it by memorial day.
Oh please TI is wayyyyyyyyyyy to sexy to be tied down.
I want him to give me a baby.
I’m happy TI is single again.
When they broke up last year, right before ATL hit the theatre, he did his thing with hoopz and such but the break up was short lived due to THE DEATH OF TIP’s best friend PHILANT. We saw pictures of Tip and Tiny at the funeral fueling the notion of their rekindled flame. However, If Tip and Tiny had not worked out the problems that were probably put on hold, they obviously have re-surfaced and caused the recent break up. Its hard out here, 2007 is kicking ass and taking names. Something is very wrong in the world yall, and it concerns a whole lot more than celebrity gossip, its worse it seems, because similar things are happening around me right now! Everyone is so cold hearted and easily influenced by deception. We are all being defeated. We need to wisen up and give GLORY TO GOD! soon…or its curtains.
natural mystic hates men…
natural mystic is an angry woman…
People really should not be having babies out of wedlock like it is the thing to do. It sets a horrible example for the kids. Its only us black folk doing it — well, everybody does it, but we are the only ones that seem to act is if its OK. Then we wonder why our children are always actin bad as kids, then becoming criminals as teenagers. We need to get our stuff together y’all. This stuff ain’t cute.
#43…He gone give you more than a baby, trust me I know.
Very well stated #28.
Wow seems like just yesterday mofos were reporting that these 2 planned tomarry in nearfuture. I to think that they will end up acktogether sometime down the line.I guess that calling it quit when one or the other wants to mess around is the thing to do these days
We had a topic like this in school,one person stated that women had babies out of wedlock just to get money on taxes.
But whatever they do sure ain’t my business, but they shouldn’t be together.
i told ya’ll ti was crazy lol
Move out of the way, Tiny! It’s time for me to stalk my man. Awwww shiiittt!!!!
I would say good now I can have him but the ni#*a got TOOOOO MANY KIDS!!!!!!! I’ll stick with Reggie Bush!!!!!
But I do hate to see couples break off things in the middle of expecting a child……

Is your opinion based on my past posts?
If so, I’m glad I got your attention!
What’s up naturalmystic?
I gotta hand it to you — at least you didn’t try to deny that you are angry and hate men.
IF EITHER OF THEM OR BOTH DECIDED THAT THEY WERE BETTER OFF AS FRIENDS THEY MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. STAYING TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU HAVE KIDS WHILE NOBLE ISN’T ALWAYS WISE. I DON’T CONDONE HAVING KIDS OUT OF WEDLOCK BUT AT LEAST YOU DON’T HEAR ABOUT HIM NOT SUPPORTING HIS KIDS. ALSO HE DIDN’T PUT THE BLAME ON HER NOR HIMSELF HE SAID THEY DEDCIDED TO BE FRIENDS. BOTH HE AND TINY AS WELL AS THE KIDS WILL BE BETTER OFF IF BOTH PARENTS ARE ABLE TO BE FRIENDS AND REMAIN CORDIAL INSTEAD OF BEING UNHAPPY IN A RELATIONSHIP. AS FOR EVERYONE WHO THINKS THEY SHOULDN’T BE TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY DON’T APPROVE OF HER LOOKS GROW UP.
Having kids outta wedlock has nothing to do with “bad kids”. It’s about the PARENTS and how they RAISE their child. If u don’t care, they won’t care. If they r the product of a shitty as marriage/relationship…they can be fucked up too.
” I SEE DUMB PEOPLE”
*ass
It is not a good look to have kids coming out of broken homes! Its also not a good look to stay together for the kids. THE best look is to be responsible and honest as Adults before bringing kids into that situation.
IS IT ME OR ARE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE COMFORTABLE WITH JUST HAVING BABIES, NO MARRIAGE NO COMMITMENT. My parents are still married and I am happy to have grown up in that environment. I know others are as fortunate but it seems like they would be willing to break that CYCLE!!!!!
We have to have a strong family. Not just mama’s raising babies while men go out and do whatever!
