Fans Mistake Tiny Harris for ‘One of the Kids’ in Family Portrait: ‘Had to Do a Double Take’

Tiny Harris‘ girlish looks seem to be the talk of social media.

The Xscape singer recently took a family vacation to Hawaii with her mother Diane Cottle-Pope, her husband, rapper Clifford “T.I.” Harris, and their seven children. Although fans gushed over the Harris’ tight-knit family unit, it was Tiny’s young features that stole the show.

The “Who Can I Run To” artist took to Instagram on Monday evening with a family portrait of herself, her mother and her two sons King and Major Harris posing for a selfie on a beach. Cottle-Pope perched in the middle as King stood to the right of Tiny and Major to the left of his grandmother.

Fans confused the 43-year-old mother of four for one of her other children.

“Omgggg u look like one of the kids 😩 I need this fountain of youth!!! πŸ™ŒπŸΎ.”

“@majorgirl you looking like one of the kids.. lol had to do a double take.. like I don’t remember seeing that lil girl on the show πŸ˜πŸ™Œ tiny is ageless.”

“Tiny aging backwards ❀️ I thought she was a kid on 1st glance I love how family is ALWAYS first with them!”

Other fans couldn’t believe how grown Major appeared.

“Look at lil major he just growing up 😍.”

“Major done grow up he so big now 😘 dope family.”

Tiny’s family vacation comes ahead of the season premiere of her and T.I.’s VH1 series “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle,” which is set for April 15. The show will feature their friends Monica Brown, Antonia β€œToya” Wright, Reginae Carter and Letoya Luckett. It will also star the couple’s seven children, Zonnique Pullins, Messiah, Domani, Deyjah, King, Major and Heiress Harris.

One focus of the season premiere will center on the death of T.I.’s 66-year-old sister Precious Harris, who passed away in February. She died after suffering an asthma attack and being involved in a car accident.

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.
