Tiny Harris Stepping Up Her Business Game, Opens Smoothie Bar

Tiny Harris isn’t just sitting around and supporting her husband T.I.’s career, she’s getting her own business together, too.

The singer on Tuesday posted a quick peek at her new juice bar, which opened in Stockbridge, Ga., recently.

The quick clip sees Harris and a pal sipping some smoothies as they sit at the bar of the shop. Got Da Juice has been open at least since the spring and has gotten stellar reviews from those who have visited.

“It was great [when] I found out it was Ms. Tiny’s place, so I wasn’t surprised that it was a great experience,” one reviewer wrote on Yellow Pages. “We needed a juice bar in the area. Thanks, Tiny!!!!❤️❤️”

“I came in yesterday and loved my juice!!!!” someone else said on Instagram.

And it’s not just everyday folks who live in the area that are coming by the shop. Tip and his son Domani stopped by earlier in the day to slurp up a smoothie, too.

“@troubleman31 and @domaniharris1 stopped by to get a STARBURST smoothie. Thank you so much for your business #blackownedbusiness #tiandtiny #gotdajuicebar,” the caption on the business’ IG page read.

Since then, congratulatory messages have been pouring out for Harris.

“Blessed proud of you.”

“Well Done💗😊🙌🏾🙌🏾 @majorgirl.”

“Congrats @majorgirl I love 😘😘😘😘😘😍.”

The development in Harris’ hustle comes after she’s been spotted around supporting her man’s other ventures outside of music. When it came to a screening for his BET reality competition series, “The Grand Hustle,” Harris was right there by T.I.’s side. She also promoted the show on her IG page to get her followers to tune in.

But now, fans are pleased to see Harris holding down her own side gig. Her juice bar comes nearly six years after the Atlanta nail shop she once owned burned down, leading her to shutter it permanently.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
