Tiny Harris, the wife of rapper T.I., finally reunited with her longtime friend Shekinah Anderson after ending their friendship a few years ago.

In 2014, the two besties starred in VH1 reality series “Tiny and Shekinah’s Weave Trip” together, where they traveled to different cities promoting Anderson’s hair services. However, the show ended after its first season, and the pair were said to be not quite as chummy afterward.

But it was in 2017 that Harris and Anderson reportedly had their big falling-out and unfollowed each other on social media. An anonymous source told the Jasmine Brand that a mutual friend whom Harris introduced Anderson to was the reason the two were at odds. Anderson and the mutual friend began feuding, and Anderson expected Harris to back her up. When that didn’t happen their friendship was a wrap, or so fans thought.

Harris and Anderson have seemingly mended their friendship and have been spotted all over social media together. Harris took to Instagram on Monday and shared a video of herself and Anderson hanging out at what appeared to be a nightclub in Atlanta. The dynamic duo boasted about their rekindled friendship on their social pages.

Harris wrote in her video caption, “Having a little safe fun with my damn buddy @thatshekinah 👑.”

Anderson followed up with a caption of her own stating, “Me and my ace @majorgirl what y’all thought!!!???? 🤪.”

Fans of the longtime besties couldn’t have been happier to see the two reunite.

“Whodini wrote a song about you all call FRIENDS ❤️. Glad you all made amends!” one person wrote underneath Harris’ comments.

Another added, “😍 Love seeing you two together! That’s what’s call real friends!”

“I love y’all 😂, ” a third fan added. “True down ass friends r hard to find! Hold on to them their like a diamond in the ruff, very hard to find.”

Months before their big falling-out in 2017, the besties were allegedly set to do a late night talk show with VH1, but the deal was seemingly removed off of the table when they parted ways.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
