‘The Movements Though’: TI and Tiny Harris’ Daughter Heiress Singing ‘Bills Bills Bills’ Steals the Hearts of Many, Including Kandi Burruss

Tameka “Tiny” Harris stunned fans on July 8 after the singer took to Instagram to display her daughter Heiress Harris‘ many talents, including a possible future in singing and songwriting in a stream of videos. One of the surprised yet supportive fans included Tiny’s Xscape band member and Heiress’ โ€œauntieโ€ Kandi Burruss. 

In the initial clip, the 5-year-old is seen singing an original song she composed herself. At the same time, another recording showcased Heiress paying tribute to Burruss as the toddler performed a song she wrote, “Bills, Bills, Bills” by Destiny’s Child. Burruss ultimately confessed that her inspiration behind the 1999 hit was based on a past relationship experience with an ex that was dating one of the members of Destiny’s Child at the time.

The “T.I & Tiny Family Hustle” star informed her followers that the reason why she shared the video was to show how much her baby girl loves to “entertain.” She wrote, “So my lil entertainer @heiressdharris love to sing so I asked her to sing something for me. The first time I missed it so I asked her to do it again & this what did. So after her original # she sung it for me!! Auntie @kandi she likes your work๐Ÿคช ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŽค.”

Upon viewing the post, Burruss immediately commented how much she loved Heiress’ performance. The reality star said, ” ๐Ÿ˜ My lil superstar in the making! I love myself some @heiressdharris! โค๏ธ.” 

Many people expressed those exact sentiments as Burruss once the clips became viral. A couple of them mentioned how the toddler’s movements, including the neck rolls, gave the performance the specific edge it needed to be great.  

“This was really good.๐Ÿ˜.”

“It’s the neck roll for me ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ LOL.”

“The movements though ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ.”

“Baby girl ain’t to be played with she a whole vibe and can really sing with her cute self I love it โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘.”

“When she took the breath at the beginningโ€ฆI already knew she was about to do her thing! Good job pretty girl! ๐Ÿ˜.”

This isn’t the first time the toddler’s vocals took social media by storm. Back in March, Tiny uploaded two videos of Heiress and her father T.I. as the girl sang Beyoncรฉโ€™s 2006 hit single “Irreplaceable” with the rapper dancing in the background. As Heiress wrapped up she pointed out how funny her fatherโ€™s dancing was. She said, “Your dance was funny.” He replied while smothering her with kisses “Your song was funny.” 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
