Tiny Gets Skewered Again for Supporting T.I.’s New BET Show

Tiny continues to show love to her husband T.I. by supporting his new reality competition series.

The singer on Thursday simply posted a promo for Tip’s BET series, “The Grand Hustle,” writing on Instagram, “Season Premiere tonight at 10 p.m. on BET! Make sure you tune in! 🙏🏽👑🙌🏽🤑 .”

Tiny was with her husband and their children during an Atlanta viewing party for the series, which follows T.I. as he recruits 16 hustlers nationwide who vie for the chance to be part of his Grand Hustle Empire.

Several fans boosted Tiny for backing her husband despite him getting caught cheating on her with “Greenleaf” actress Asia’h Epperson in June.

“No matter [what] y’all support each other’s hussle ….and I respect that.💯💯❤.”

“Luv it… f— wut the rest say @majorgirl support ur husband!!”

“Let them hate Ms. Tiny 💯 despite on what’s going on between y’all, y’all always gone support each other thru any circumstances ❤ my favorite family 🙏🏾.”

But others shamed her for it, much like they did when Tip gifted her with a custom Mercedes-Benz for her birthday last week.

“@majorgirl when you going to love yourself and leave your cheating ass husband alone you look a fool if eyes changing and a new baby won’t change then nothing will boo.”

“Why do you take a man back that cheats on you all the time? He obviously does not respect you.”

Meanwhile, one took up for Tiny, who has yet to hit back at those who bash her for sticking by her man.

“Too much negativity either watch the show or don’t. Why people coming for Tiny because her husband cheating is none of our business.”

While Tiny was initially expressing her irritation with T.I.’s cheating openly on Instagram — including liking comments that sided with her over Epperson and chiming in on a guru who questioned why men can’t be faithful to their wives — she’s been singing a different tune lately.

One of her most recent and major turnarounds came on her birthday. After T.I. gave her a souped-up drop top filled with gifts, she openly thanked him for being present no matter what.

“Regardless of whatever, you have done more for me & showed me more love than most will ever have a man to do/give in a lifetime & I appreciate you for that!” Tiny wrote.

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.
