T.I. bought Tiny a house on wheels

Atlanta rapper T.I. bought his babymama Tiny Cottle a $175,000 turbo Porsche with a bow on top.  It seems he is wasting no time in showing his woman his appreciation for holding it down while he was in the pen.  Ain't love sweet?

T.I. was released from prison yesterday

Rapper Clifford Harris, a.k.a. T.I., was released from prison on Tuesday just in time to spend the holidays with his girlfriend and children.

T.I. served seven months at the federal prison comples in Forrest City, Arkansas. He will serve the remainder of a reduced sentence in a correctional center near Fulton County Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to his time in Fulton County, T.I. was placed on house arrest, given community service and was ordered to pay a $100,300 fine. He will stay at the halfway house for approximately three months and still must perform around 500 hours of community service.

T.I. received a year and a day in March 2009 on weapons charges related to purchasing machine guns and silencers. T.I. is a felon due to earlier drug charges, and is not permitted to possess weapons.

T.I.'s Wifey is a Bid'ness Woman

Tameka (Tiny) Cottle will finally hold the grand opening for her Tiny's Nail Bar salon, located in Stockbridge,Georgia. This full service spa will offer services such as nails, hair, massage and spray tanning just to name a few. Tiny told Essence Magazine, "I'm very particular about my hair and nails, so I want to offer affordable services like tans to black folks in the ATL so all women can look their best."

T.I. wants 'Tiny & Toya' to take a hike

BET has renewed the contract for the reality series "Tiny & Toya" starring T.I.'s fiancee Tiny Cottle. Word is they are rushing to film as many episodes as possible before T.I.'s release from federal prison next year because T.I. hates the show. He has been made aware of all the negative comments made by bloggers and dislikes how producers allow his woman to be portrayed for ratings. The thing is, doesn't Tiny have creative control? What we see is who they are. That is who he fell in love with. They have remained together over all these years (without a marriage certificate) despite widespread criticism of Tiny's looks and deportment. I think he should be proud she went out and did something for herself.

T.I. and Grand Hustle to Produce Video Game

Through a venture with Heatwave Interactive game studio and online publisher, it has been announced that rapper T.I. and Grand Hustle label members will be appearing in the game Platinum Life.

T.I.'s role in the online game is to act as a guide for players in the ashy to classy lifestyle as he will lead them in the journey from a struggling musician that only has a dream into a successful artist with millions as far as the mind can comprehend (yo' ass do go to jail for awhile at some point).

The game's background is set in the Hip-Hop world as the player begins as an unsigned act and must make the necessary steps to achieve their celebrity status. It can be thought of as The Sims for the rap game. Players will be asked to perform at local bars and clubs and essentially hustle their way to the top of the game.

It seems as though even with the King away in prison, he is still making sure that his name is still in the back of everyone's mind until he makes his return.

Along with the upcoming game, T.I. is also set to appear in the film "Takers" alongside Matt Dillon, Chris Brown and Idris Elba. The film is a crime thriller about a Los Angles detective that is on the verge of diffusing a plan made by thieves who are trying to carry out a $20 million heist. The release date is set for January 8.

T.I. is pissed about "Tiny and Toya"

T.I. is reportedly unhappy with the way the BET reality show "Tiny and Toya" portrays his perennial fiancee, Tiny. Word has it he has demanded BET execs immediately scrap the show. He was initially supportive since he realized Tiny needed something to keep her busy while he is serving his year and a day in a federal penitentiary; once he actually saw a finished episode he was embarassed at having his family's lives on display and upset at the reactions it received on Black blogs.

It must be real love

Tiny celebrated her 43rd 34th birthday last night at Luckie Food Lounge in Atlanta. Even though T.I. is locked up in the slammer, her boo came through and laced her with some nice ice. This must be real love y'all.

Just in case you were wondering, T.I. was busy before he reported to the slammer. I wonder how long it'll be before Tiny makes a "special announcement" on her reality show?

T.I. to pose nekkid?

Word is PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), the group behind many of the pain-on-fur coat attacks and chicken liberation operations, has asked T.I. to pose nude for their "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur Campaign."

Their P.R. team might want to investigate what animal that fur jock strap came from before they ink an offer.

Tiny Has A New Reality Show

Tiny's babydaddy reported to federal prison yesterday afternoon, but she'll have plenty to keep her busy. Tiny and Toya, Lil Wayne's ex-wife, are set to star in a new BET reality series premiering Tuesday, June 30th at 10pm Eastern. Here is the blurb from the BET website:

TINY AND TOYA is BET’s provocative, new half-hour docu-drama chronicling the lives of Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and Antonia “Toya” Carter – two golddigging dynamic, young women immersed in the craziness of the hip-hop world, but striving to find inner-strength, peace and purpose. On the surface, their real-life story plays out like an hoodrat urban fairytale – both women falling in love with two of hip hop’s most successful felons princes (T.I. and Lil’ Wayne) and living the life of the rich and famous.

Set in the heart of Atlanta, against the backdrop of the multi-billion dollar music industry, TINY AND TOYA follows the journey of two best friends overcoming their struggles to keep their men out of jail to discover who they really are, from the inside out. They are tired of being defined by others (in the shadow of their high-profile men) and are determined to rely on each other and the strength of their weaves from within to find their purpose and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.

It's So Haaaard To Say Goooodbye to Yesterdaaaayeeee!

TI is scheduled to report by noon today to the Federal Correction Institution at Forrest City, Ark. T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, Jr., was arrested after prosecutors said he tried to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers from undercover federal agents in 2007.

T.I. held a farewell concert on Sunday in Atlanta's Philips Arena where he said he hoped that everyone learned from his mistakes. He is scheduled for release in 366 days.
