Speculations of hip-hop artist T.I. and his wife Tiny allegedly moving forward with a divorce have been circulating all over the web, but T.I. may not be ready just yet to throw in the towel on his marriage.

The couple’s relationship seemed to be a little rocky after a video surfaced of T.I. getting touchy-feely with actress Asia’h Epperson. The couple also exchanged cryptic posts towards each other on Instagram.

The duo has also been avoiding each other. Tiny and her four children did not attend her stepdaughter Deja’s birthday party in June and chose to spend Father’s day in California instead of Atlanta with T.I.

Nevertheless, the rapper posted a Black and white photo of him holding his baby girl Heiress on social media with the caption, “Daddy love you Scoot.” He also took the opportunity to let people know he still cares for his wife.

A fan commented under his Instagram picture and wrote, “I want you to love your wife. I love her and I want ya’ll to win.”

T.I. responded back, “Certainly I do.”

A source claiming to be close to Tiny told Hollywood Life, “Tiny is feeling the pressure by friends and family to finalize her divorce with T.I., but she can’t help but drag her feet with the whole process. Those close to her are trying to convince her that the healthiest thing for her, the kids [Clifford, Major, and Heiress], and T.I. is to get the divorce over and done with so they can all move on.”

The news outlet said a friend of the family said the Xscape singer and “Rubberband Man” rapper are having trouble with completely letting go because of the investments they have with each other. The source added, “Tiny still has a lot of love for T.I. too. As angry as he makes her sometimes and despite everything he has put her through, she still loves the father of her children. So, it may take her a while before she is ready to end it all for good.”

The pair has been together since 2001 and married since 2010. They share three children together King, Major and Heiress Harris.

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.
