‘Can’t Say No to That Face’: Fans Fawn Over T.I.’s Photo With Daughter Heiress

Rapper Clifford “T.I.” Joseph Harris Jr. loves to bond with his children. The Atlanta native is the father of six, with his daughter Heiress Diana Harris being the youngest with his wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris. 

The 39-year-old took to Instagram late last week to share a precious bonding photo of himself with his 3-year-old. “Daddy’s Baby 👶🏽,” the “Live Your Life” rapper wrote for the caption. 

Due to the recent tragic passing of NBA star Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant in a helicopter crash, the hashtag #GirlDad has been taking social media by storm, so the adorable photo of T.I. and his daughter left fans gushing over the pair’s moment. 

“My #Girldad 💞,” Tiny wrote in her husband’s comment section.

“Already know you can’t say no to that face… 😩.”

“The prettiest little expression when a daughter looks at her father. 🙏💞💞🙏.”

“She’s so precious. Much love, King, you are richer in spirit. God (Allah). Bless the children for they are the future @troubleman31.”

“Girls, dad ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

“That hand on your face is everything ❤️ Girls just pull on their father’s hearts because you are the first man we see and if we are fortunate the first man we love! My father had six girls, and we all knew we were loved and appreciated and acknowledged. Your girls seem to know that too ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥.” 

This isn’t the first time Tip has shared special moments between himself and his daughter. In an Instagram video uploaded to his account, Heiress was being held by her grandmother Violeta Morgan.

Baby Heiress is crying hysterically until T.I. plays “Purple Rain” by the late and great Prince. 

“Since I know, you can’t read, yet I’ll just post one of my favorite videos of my baby girl & big girl Violeta!!! Love you both to no end & I don’t know where I’d be without you‼️Fun fact: Heiress would stop crying instantly when I played Purple Rain ☔️ ,” he wrote for the caption. 

Fans gushed over the video and complimented Heiress’ music taste at such a young age. 

“The girl knows good music!”

“This is absolutely adorable 💜💜💜.”

“Wow !! She know good music.”

“She has good taste in music 🎼.”

“She naturally has a good ear 😩 ❤ She got it from her mama & daddy 🙌🏾.” 

“So beautiful, 🥰🥰🥰 I appreciate the love you have for all of your family members and the time you took to acknowledge each one. A father’s love is a beautiful gift, as is a child’s. Thank you for sharing with us.💛💛💛.”

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.
