‘He Get Her a Car Every Year’: T.I. Shares Video of His Birthday Surprise to Wife Tiny Harris But Fans Aren’t Impressed

Social media users are urging T.I. to take his gift giving up a notch.

The “Live Your Life” rapper surprised his wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris with a brand- new car for her 45th birthday. He shared an Instagram video to his page on Tuesday, July 21 that showed the singer’s reaction to her latest gift.

T.I. designed a clue trail for his wife to follow. He drove her to a gas station and grocery store to keep her from figuring out her gift. While the couple was inside shopping, valet pulled up outside with Tiny’s lavish red Bentley. She looked at the car and then ran to her husband and gave him a big hug.

“Still Poppin it Kid‼️” the father of six wrote. “Big Daddy da best at dis Birthday S–t Mane…ALL DAY She didn’t have a CLUE😂 Bwaaa-Haaa-Haaaa-Haaaaa🎂 20yrs straight‼️
😍It’s a blessing to be a blessing🥰 Happy Gday Killa @majorgirl 7/14♋️ Live it UP Love‼️YKWTFGO SUMMO&SUMMO…4EVA&EVA KID‼️”

Tiny seemed more than impressed with her new vehicle and responded to her husband in the comment section, “I still can’t believe it Big Daddy… I can’t thank you enough for just going out your way to make this surprise so perfect!! I love u Soooooooo much.. 💓.”

Although the “Understanding” songstress seemed ecstatic about her lavish gift, fans weren’t the least bit impressed.

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.
