Happy Birthday Tiny: 5 Reasons She's T.I.'s Queen And You're Not

Today marks the birthday of Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, singer, mother and wife of Clifford “T.I.” Harris.
When fans tuned in to her “Tiny & Toya” reality show they got a firsthand look at T.I.'s spouse who showed her business savvy, her family life and most importantly her loyalty to The King Of The South.
Despite critics and naysayers Tiny's been with the rapper since 2001 and wed in 2010, proof that their love can withstand the test of time.
So today we tip our hats to the First Lady of Grand Hustle and give you five reasons why she's The King's rightful Queen…and you're not.
She's Ride Or Die

Throughout his various run-ins with the law Tiny's always stuck by her man's side. In 2010 when the rapper was arrested for possession in L.A. Tiny was there and was also charged.
Despite his years in and out of jail Tiny's stayed true to her man and avoided criticizing him in interviews.

She's Independent

Before being linked to the one of the biggest rappers in the world Tiny was a member of the group Xscape.
She also made millions for songwriting skills that led her to pen TLC's “No Scrubs.” She also owns her own nail salon and manages the singing group “OMG Girlz.”
With or without Tip Tiny's got her own.
She's A Good Mother

Tiny has two children with T.I—Major and King as well as her daughter Zonnique from a previous relationship.
In addition to her three children, T.I. has two sons Domani and Messiah—as well as a daughter-- Deyjah Imani.
She's often photographed out with her children looking like nothing less of a doting mother.


She Has Sex Appeal

Admit it…the pictures speak for themselves.


She's Dedicated To Her Man

In January reports surfaced that T.I. faced repercussions in jail after Tiny came to visit and engaged in a “sex act” despite strict prison rules.

TMZ reports,
“Tiny confirms to TMZ that she and Tip were engaged in a sex act during visitor hours and he was immediately reprimanded and sent to the housing unit. Prison officials tell TMZ that inmates are allowed to “kiss and embrace” but they must have their hands in plain view at all times.
Tiny's hands were not."

Not worried about repercussions for pleasing your man?
Dedication indeed.
