Tiny Throws Shade at Husband T.I. While Talking About Her Relationship with Floyd Mayweather

While Tiny continues to deal with the fallout from husband T.I. allegedly cheating on her with “Greenleaf” star Asia’h Epperson, the singer is dishing on whether or not she gave Tip a taste of his own medicine.

While on the premiere episode of friend and fellow Xscape group member Kandi Burruss’ new talk show “Kandi Koated Nights,” Tiny, who was seen partying it up with boxer Floyd Mayweather back in 2016, said she’s gotten “attention” from the athlete but nothing went further than that.

“Everyone needs a little something, attention, especially when she ain’t getting it,” Tiny told Burruss on the July 1 episode. “If you ain’t giving it, she’s gonna go what? Get it somewhere else.”

After shading her husband and his wandering eye, Tiny added she “didn’t really cheat” and “I didn’t have any sex.”

During the episode, it’s apparent that Tiny is still irritated by Tip’s alleged infidelity, going so far as to let out an enthusiastic “Yes!” and eye roll when Burruss asked “Married to Medicine” star Dr. Jackie Walters if being on reality TV fueled his cheating.

The singer is appearing on the program after T.I.’s latest cheating scandal rocked the interwebs. Earlier this month, he was spotted slapping the rear end of Epperson, who plays First Lady Tasha Skanks on the OWN series, backstage at his Indiana concert.

Since then, Tiny hasn’t kept quiet about her feelings on the matter, hearting Instagram comments favoring her side in the matter and chiming in on commentary about loyalty.

Reports say Tiny has been leaning on her pal Tamar Braxton amid the drama and is mulling over whether or not to divorce the husband she appeared to have been reconciling with earlier this year.

“Tamar has made it very clear to Tiny that she has to make up her mind about T.I. without anyone’s opinion interfering; only she can know what is right for her,” a source told HollywoodLife earlier this week of the pals’ talks. “Tamar hated having people constantly pushing her to divorce Vince, so she’s making a huge point not to do that to Tiny. She’s just trying to be there for her and lift her up.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
