Tiny Harris Says Bill Cosby Should Be Released From Jail, Shekinah Jo Doesn’t Believe His Victims – Later Apologizes

Two Hotlanta faves have found themselves in hot water. Longtime besties – singer Tameka “Tiny” Harris and reality star/hairstylist Shekinah Jo Anderson – have their own social media-based podcast called “The Tiny Jo Show,” where they chat from Tiny’s Atlanta home.

Known for their hilarious shenanigans on T.I. and Tiny’s “Family Hustle,” the ladies took on a more serious topic on a recent episode of their show. They discussed whether or not convicted rapist Bill Cosby should be released to house arrest amid the coronavirus outbreak in prisons. They both seemed to be in favor of the TV dad being released:

“Shekinah Jo Anderson: Bill Cosby might be getting out on house arrest.

Tiny Harris: I f*ckin’ love it…no disrespect to the women involved, I just feel like Bill is older, and Bill’s been in there doing his time.

Shekinah: I think it’s f*cked up! I think it’s f*cked up that you went and did that to Bill!”

However, things took a turn when Shekinah alluded that not all of Bill Cosby’s victims were victims:

“Shekinah: ‘Cause nine times out of ten- real talk, y’all was tryna f*ck y’all way to the top…I guess that p*ssy wasn’t hittin’ the way it was supposed to hit! I’m sayin’ it ’cause at the end of the day you know how bad people want fame and wanna be a celebrity these days? They’ll do whatever for a role!

Tiny: I don’t think you should do that! We know that that goes on, but that’s not fair to do to the victims, ’cause we don’t really know they story.

Shekinah: Somethin’ about that ain’t sitting right with my heart…some of them girls wanted to be f*cked.”

Shekinah Jo later apologized for her statements:

“Bill, I want you out of there. I’m sorry. And to the victims that Bill messed over- I’m sorry to y’all, too. I just was goin’ into the other Gemini. I didn’t mean to say that to y’all. No one should be f*cked under a pill under pressure.”

What do you think about Shekinah Jo’s statements? Let us know in the comments.

Bill Cosby Deemed ‘Sexually Violent Predator’& Ineligible for Early Prison Release

Bill Cosby Deemed ‘Sexually Violent Predator’ & Ineligible for Early Prison Release

Surely a sigh of relief was had by Bill Cosby‘s defense team thanks to Gov. Tom Wolf‘s new prison order. Unfortunately, their hope was shortlived. 

Bill Cosby has been held at the SCI Phoenix in Montgomery County prison. Gov. Wolf‘s concern about the COVID-19 epidemic drew serious enough to consider the institution uninhabital for at-risk inmates. This led to the decision to release inmates convicted of certain crimes. Given Bill Cosby is very much in the at-risk age, there was hope his release would follow. However, the seriousness of his crime is forcing him to stay locked up, according to TheWrap.

The 82-year-old’s publicist made a statement since the Montgomery County District Attorney Office’s decision. Referencing Cosby as a “non-violent elderly” inmate was a light touch to reach sympathy in the case. But it turns out being convicted of aggravated indecent assault on drugging and molesting Andrea Constand, titled him a “Sexually Violent Predator.”

His publicist said,

“Mr. Cosby is not eligible under Gov. Wolf’s order since he was convicted of a violent offense (aggravated indecent assault) and was determined to be a Sexually Violent Predator.” 

As mentioned, there’s been a huge concern for Cosby’s well being. His defense team fears that the slight risk can be detrimental to their client. Donald Trump‘s earlier order to release non-violent offenders triggered this original statement from Cosby’s lawyer Andrew Wyatt:

“We are now making ready a motion to talk to the court and the condition to release Mr. Cosby from jail and area him less than property arrest for the duration of his sentence…We are not carrying out this simply because he is Bill Cosby, our issue is that he is 82, he is blind and has shut call with personnel who acquire him to his health care appointments each and every day in a wheelchair, they acquire him for his meals and thoroughly clean his mobile. If they get infected they could pass it on to him.”

Now, expectations can be lowered since Gov. Wolf has made it clear Bill Cosby will not be getting out any time soon. Meanwhile, Tiny Harris caught backlash after saying she believes he needs to be released.

Do you guys think Bill Cosby should be released as an at-risk inmate? Sound off below!

Monica Explains Her Dream Man: I Still Want You To Open The Door, A 25-Year-Old Would Turn Me Into A Head-Buster Again!

Singer Monica is still healing fresh wounds from her divorce from her ex-husband, former NBA baller Shannon Brown. But in the meantime, Monica and her longtime friend – “Friends & Family Hustle” castmate Tameka “Tiny” Harris – talked in front of their fans on Instagram Live, digging into the subject of love. She shared what she’s looking for in her next partner:

“I acknowledge that I do need a lot of attention, but I give a lot…I need an old-school man in the sense that- you can call me hood, you can call me whatever you wanna call me. At the end of the day, I need somebody that’s still a gentleman. That’s why I work so hard with the boys to be gentlemen. I still want you to open the door! I still want you to pull up and pick me up sometimes! I still want you to play my favorite song- I still like all that!”

Tiny Harris then gave her two cents of what type of man she thinks her longtime friend needs:

“Tiny: You need a very hip, thuugish- he gotta be a little street or you ain’t gon like him!

Monica: Really?

Tiny: You ain’t gon’ really dig him! He gotta know shome sh*t. He gotta have some knowledge of how to get some money, how to hustle- you know what I’m sayin’?

Monica: ‘Cause you know I’m a hustler…somebody said, ‘An old-school, forty-ish gangster.’ I would say 32 and up.

Tiny: I got a lot of older friends that want these young men! What’s up with that?”

Tiny says women should beware of younger, more inexperienced men:

“Tiny: You already know a 25-year-old, 30-year-old man really don’t know what they want. It’s too much in the pickings for a young man like that- especially if he getting him a little money.

Monica: A 25-year-old would turn me into a head-buster again!”

But Tiny’s husband, Grammy Award-winning rapper/podcaster T.I. says that all Tiny focuses on is a man’s financial status when she hooks her single friends up. T.I. told Monica:

“T.I.: She ain’t finna do nothing but bring you a bunch of rich people! That’s all she care about – just rich people! That’s all she care about is money! We done seen her taste!

Monica: Why don’t you send me on a blind date?

Tiny: I’m all for that, and I’m gon’ help him, ’cause I know what you need!”

What are your thoughts on what Monica is looking for in a man? Let us know in the comments.

Tiny Harris Shares Vintage XSCAPE Performance To Commemorate Album’s 22nd Anniversary

Where has the time gone? Tuesday (May 12th) marked the 22nd anniversary of So So Def’s legendary R&B group, Xscape‘s, third and final album, Traces of My Lipstick, which featured hits like “My Little Secret.” In honor of the anniversary, Tameka “Tiny” Harris posted a vintage clip of the group’s members – Kandi Burruss, Latocha and Tamika Scott, and former member Tamera Coggins-Wynn – singing the Clark Sisters‘ “Is My Living In Vain” in 1991.

Xscape later recorded the gospel classic for their debut album Hummin’ Comin’ At ‘Cha, which was released in 1993. Tiny’s caption read:

“Since 22 yrs ago today is the day we released our 3rd album Traces OF My Lipstick I thought I’d post a video of our very beginnings! 5 instead of 4.. #Xscape @kandi @tamera_wynn @therealtamikascott @iamlatocha”

Check out the baby faces on these future Atlanta icons!

The ladies of Xscape have openly talked about how they met in high school – forming a group based on their mutual love of music. After Kandi’s best friend Tamera Coggins-Wynn was voted out of the group shortly after it’s conception, the girls performed at Jermaine Dupri‘s 19th birthday party – spawning their record deal with So So Def. Several platinum singles and three albums later, Xscape split. But one fateful radio interview would keep the separated for decades. Tamika Scott reportedly spilled to a DJ that Kandi Burruss once slept with Michael Mauldin, Jermaine Dupri’s father. She has consistently denied that claim.

But after reports that Jermaine Dupri agreed to license Xscape’s music for an unauthorized biopic, all four ladies reunited for a series of performances, a highly successful tour in 2017, and a Bravo reality show, Still Kickin’ It.

Will all four ladies eventually reunite for new music? The verdict is still out on whether or not Kandi Burruss will participate – but in the meantime, Jermaine Dupri acknowledged their 22nd anniversary.

What’s your favorite Xscape song? Let us know in the comments.

EXCLUSIVE: Tiny Harris Reacts To Kandi Burruss Announcing New Xscape Album

theJasmineBRAND has an exclusive clip on the upcoming episode of “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Husle”. In the exclusive clip, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss revealed that her mother, Joyce Jones‘, “only wish” was for Xscape to reunite for another album. The moment, caught on camera, caught Kandi Burruss’ group mates off-guard. Kandi Burruss’s bestie, Tameka “Tiny” Harris is vocal about the announcement in the upcoming episode as she states,

“Recently, as Xscape was receiving the Black Music Honors award, Kandi’s mom told everybody her biggest wish was for Xscape to make more music. And after that, Kandi posted a video online and said that we were gonna do another album. That’s wild news to me and all the rest of the girls of Xscape, because before Kandi put that video out – she was 100% out of doing new music.”

Tiny Harris continued:

“Kandi put up this d*mn video about this new Xscape album. The truth of the matter is, there needs to be a little more conversation.”

As previously reported, Xscape reunited when news broke of their longtime producer, Jermaine Dupri, licensing their music for an unauthorized biopic. This spawned a BET Awards performance, a Bravo reality show, and a wildly successful reunion tour.

During the conversation, Tiny Harris’s husband – rapper/entrepreneur TI says that Kandi Burruss has the final say in official Xscape business. He said:

“How come don’t nothing happen unless Kandi say it can happen?…Kandi runnin’ the show.”

Tiny emphatically replied:

“That’s not the case…Kandi ain’t runnin’ sh*t.”

While promoting The Great Xscape Tour in 2017, Kandi made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with new music with the group. She told the Breakfast Club that she:

“…didn’t want to tarnish their legacy.”

So, in response, remaining members Tiny, Latocha Scott, and Tamika Scott released an EP as Xscap3 to signify that it was just the three of them.

Tiny admitted that she’s open to Kandi’s change of heart:

“We’ve been trying to make another Xscape album since 2017, and Kandi’s been holding out on us. So if she really has changed her mind, that’ll be good for business. And it’ll give the fans something they’ve been asking for, for a long time. So I wanna do whatever I can to see this really happen.”

See the clip. 

Can Xscape manage to reunite for one final album with all four girls? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Claudia Jordan & Tamar Braxton End Years-Long Feud

Years before their now-cemented media careers, Claudia Jordan and Tamar Braxton starred on Tiny Harris‘ short-lived VH1 talk show, “Tiny Tonight,” in 2012.

In the midst of a workplace feud, co-hosts Claudia Jordan and Tamar Braxton took to Twitter to subliminally air out their grievances. Check out the tweets below.

Fast-forward eight years later, the ladies sat down on Claudia’s Fox Soul show, “Out Loud With Claudia Jordan” to hash out their differences. Stemming from a disagreement regarding Omarosa Manigault-Newman‘s mourning of her then-fiance, late actor Michael Clarke-Duncan – they discussed the infamous tweets. See their conversation below:

“Claudia Jordan: That was about eight years ago, and I think that we both have evolved since that. And I’m glad we’re having this because we can have different opinions on Omarosa. A lot of people do…I came from a ‘Champion of the underdog! Save the family!’-[perspective,] and you’re coming from, ‘That’s my friend. I have her back.’ And I respect that. I’m glad I finally know what it is, and I think that’s something that’s get-passable.

Tamar Braxton: I was coming from, ‘That’s my friend,’ but I was coming from a person that’s just going through it, you know what I’m sayin’?

Claudia: We had some hostile words on social media, and I think other people added fuel to the fire-

Tamar: -no sis! You came for me, sis! You was mad at me, honey!

Claudia: …I think we both thought each other started it, you know what I mean?”

Committed to starting fresh, Claudia and Tamar re-introduced themselves to each other:

“Claudia: It was eight years ago. I’d like to think we’ve both grown and evolved since then. Obviously we have, or we both wouldn’t be able to be here on this show! So I would like to put that to bed and I’d like to re-introduce myself to you today, Tamar. Hi! I’m Claudia. And I don’t wanna build a friendship or build a whatever based on talking sh*t about anybody else. So I’m done with that if you are.

Tamar: Absolutely. Hi, I’m Tamar! I’m a Pisces. I like swimming, cycling, and chocolate men- praise God!”

Lastly, Claudia Jordan and Tamar Braxton outlined how they’ll handle online spats in the future. Tamar said,

“I just want to say something to everybody who’s watching out there…if we’re talking about a revolution and we’re talking about being together, building something together- why would I be on this broadcast with this African-American woman fighting and arguing with her? I don’t wanna do that. I don’t want y’all to do that. I want y’all to put things to bed. I want you guys to unite…I want you guys to be inspired by us…we’re not gonna allow people to throw that in our faces anymore. We’re not gonna do this in public anymore.”

Watch Claudia Jordan and Tamar Braxton address their issues below.

Tiny Harris’s Daughter Zonnique Shoots Down Pregnancy Rumors: When I’m Pregnant, I Wanna Be On My Nicki Minaj Sh*t!

Tiny Harris‘ eldest daughter, Zonnique Pullins, is living a life free of the responsibilities that come with being a mother – and it looks like it will stay that way for a little while. Fans recently suspected that she was expecting, but the singer/reality star set the record straight. Zonnique Pullins says she is not pregnant on Instagram Live:

“Why the f*ck do y’all keep asking if I’m pregnant? I keep telling y’all, leave me alone. And if y’all didn’t see me say that no where, why the f*ck would I get on live and be like, ‘Yes!’ Worry about yourself. Y’all know people don’t know me in real life.”

She continued, adding that she wants to take a page from Nicki Minaj‘s book when she becomes a mother:

“And when I am pregnant, you know what I’mma do? I’mma do somethin’ special for y’all. I wanna be like, turned up. I wanna be on my Nicki Minaj sh*t. Not on no f*ckin’ live answering to y’all like I got to. Last time I was on live, I told y’all mind the business that pay y’all. Y’all didn’t learn nothin’! That’s why corona is still out there. Just chill. My time will come.”

Zonnique, Bandhunta Izzy

Nicki Minaj recently announced her pregnancy on Instagram. This will be her first child.

Zonnique Pullins has been dating rapper Bandhunta Izzy since 2018. Unfortunately, her stepfather T.I. wasn’t supportive of his baby dating a rapper at the start of their relationship. On an episode of his expediTIously Podcast, he told Fabolous:

“For me, it’s ‘F*ck this n*gga ’til he shows me otherwise’…[he’s] a respectable young man…I don’t have anything negative to say about him…However, I am uncomfortable with what my transpire in the future. I don’t share that discomfort with her or him… I just remain quietly uncomfortable, to myself…I’ll admit this, they’ve lasted a lot longer than I expected, so at this point, I’m rooting for them to go all the way.”

Keke Wyatt

Could Keke Wyatt be expecting her 11th child?

Fans of the “If Only You Knew” singer seem to think so! Keke Wyatt posted a video on Instagram of her and fellow powerhouse vocalist and actress Jennifer Hudson on stage together. In the video, it appears that while performing, Keke Wyatt spotted Jennifer Hudson and invited her onstage. Keke Wyatt is wearing a long silver dress that appears to reveal what could be a baby bump. The two traded compliments about one another and Jennifer Hudson requested a little lesson from the singer just after she referring to KeKe as one of the “greatest voices of our time:”

Fellow singers Chrisette Michele, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, and Brandy Norwood, jumped in the comments to share their agreement with Jennifer Hudson‘s declaration:

Her fans also made their voices known in the comments, acknowledging the talent of both singers, but were wondering if KeKe was truly pregnant again:

Keke has not made an official statement regarding whether or not she and husband Zachariah Darring are expecting yet another bundle of joy. She gave birth to her 10th child (her husband’s first), Ke’Riah Darring on January 6. The “My First Love” vocalist has always been forthcoming about her love of family and raising children in particular. In a 2017 interview with The Christian Post when she was pregnant with her ninth child, Keke said she believed she has “an anointing on motherhood:”

I know it sounds funny, but I really think that it’s a gift of mine. That’s one of my many gifts [and] talents. It can be difficult, but when you love something and are passionate about it, it’s not really that hard.”

T.I. & Fabolous Say Record Labels Prevented Artists From Discussing Their Relationships At The Start Of Their Careers: “We Were Supposed To Be Projected As Single Men For The Public”

Veteran rappers T.I. and Fabolous are known for being family men in hip-hop. With T.I.’s longtime reality show, “The Family Hustle,” and Fabolous’ stylish family photos in matching outfits – the hitmakers’ partners are never too far behind them. However, Tip and Fab recently dished on the old industry standard of marketing artists as single to appeal to fans of the opposite sex.

T.I. & Tiny

Fabolous, Emily B

T.I. and Tameka “Tiny” Harris first started dating in early 2001, while Fabolous and Emily Bustamante met in 2005. The latter have since been embroiled in a public domestic violence case. However, they have reportedly patched their relationship up – expecting a new baby girl. The rappers recently discussed hip-hop’s former unofficial rules on relationships:

“Fabolous: When I first came in- and same time when you first came in – family life wasn’t at the forefront of your career, or who you was as an artist.

T.I.: -No.

Fabolous: You was even supposed to be projected as a single man for the public.”

“T.I.: That’s right. I remember when Atlantic [Records] didn’t really want people to know that I had, like, a girl. They were trying to keep me from sharing.

Fabolous: Of course! I didn’t know DMX was married, or Ja Rule was married! You never knew them sh*ts until this era! These n*ggas was married for ten years, or had a girl from they high school. That wasn’t the thing then…but I also feel that was wrong. Those key figures- if we would’ve seen them having families, we would’ve known that was cool.”

The rappers continued,

“T.I.: We did see Reverend Run. We saw Ice T and his old lady.

Fabolous: Not that Rev. Run wasn’t cool- but they wasn’t the guys you look up to showing you that family and love is important. They were told to hide it, as well.

T.I.: I remember n*ggas lookin’ at me like I had three heads when I used to show up everywhere with my old lady, like back in 2003- 2004…n*ggas like, ‘Man, why you got your girl here?’ I’m like, ‘N*gga, why you ain’t got yours?”

What do you think about the rappers being told to hide their relationships early in their careers? Let us know in the comments!

Tiny Harris On Tamar Braxton’s Recovery: She’s Been Writing Me & Seems To Be Doing Much Better

Singers Tameka “Tiny” Harris and Tamar Braxton have been best friends for decades, and Tiny Harris has been able to support Tamar Braxton through her recent public mental health struggle. Tamar Braxton reportedly attempted to commit suicide in mid-July over a longstanding battle with her “Braxton Family Values” network, WeTV. But, her bestie Tiny Harris has an update on the 43-year-old’s road to recovery. Tiny told Hollywood Life:

“She’s been writing me and she seems to be doing better, much better, and I’m just waiting to visit her now. When I get back to L.A., hopefully I can go see her. I’m not going to rush her. I want her to be well and I want her to be ready to see everybody or see me but, yeah, she’s doing much better though. I can say that.”

Tamar Braxton & Tiny Harris (2012)

Tiny Harris also spoke on whether Tamar Braxton should continue to film “BFV:”

“I only think it should go on if Tamar is willing and ready and she wants to do it. I don’t feel like it should be forced. If she’s not well, if she’s not happy. She should be able to live her life the way that she wants to live her life. I also feel like when you’re doing these shows you have to find a company that loves and respects you as people and a family first and when you find that I think you can find a good balance if you find someone that really cares about the wellbeing of your family.”

Tamar Braxton updated fans and followers on her condition in her first statement since her suicide attempt last month.

We’re glad Tamar Braxton is recovering!

T.I. Urges Tory Lanez To ‘Say Something’ After Megan Thee Stallion Says He Shot Her: That’s Unacceptable!

Rapper T.I. is one of the latest celebrities to react to Megan Thee Stallion’s statement that she was shot in both feet by fellow rapper Tory Lanez. 

View this post on Instagram

#MeganTheeStallion says #ToryLanez shot her.

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand) on

T.I. went on Instagram live over the weekend and shared his thoughts.

“That s*** f***ed up, bruh… That s*** gon’ sting. How you shoot a girl, in a bikini? That’s crazy! That’s unacceptable. I’m not saying she would lie. I’m not calling anybody liar, it’s just unimaginable. I don’t have no words. I’m just waiting on the whole story. I just need to hear everything. Him shooting her, that’s preposterous. Under no circumstances should any man be accepted for shooting a black woman, or any woman, especially black women.”

He then said that Tory Lanez needs to speak up.

“Tory, you need to say something, bruh! Clear this… you need to say something bruh. You gon’ have to speak to this. You have a lot of fans and supporters. You got a lot of people out here man that stand next to you, do music with you. At least call somebody on the phone and say something. You gotta say something, bruh! This looking bad.”

He then asked his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, what she could do to him to make him shoot her in the foot.

Tiny responded,

“Nothing babe.”

He asked the question again and she came back with the same answer. He joked,

“Yeah, that’s right cause if you ain’t got shot in the foot yet…”

Other celebrities who have spoken up include Michael B. Jordan, Halle Berry and Chance The Rapper, who all supported the “Savage” rapper.

T.I. Claims Warm Liquids Can Help Kill The Coronavirus: I Have 13 Negative Tests To Speak On & I’ve Been Everywhere

T.I. Claims Warm Liquids Can Help Kill The Coronavirus: I Have 13 Negative Tests To Speak On & I’ve Been Everywhere

Rapper and podcast host T.I. says there’s a unique way to combat the coronavirus. During a recent interview, T.I. declared that he chooses to approach COVID-19 a little differently than others.

“So I’ve researched and I found that COVID starts in the throat. It starts in the throat as a scratchy throat. It’s a sore throat before it makes its way it grows and travels to the lungs. If you catch it while it’s still in the throat and you drink warm liquids, the warm liquid wash[es] it down to the stomach where the stomach acid then [will] kill it.”

T.I. gave an example to further explain how this would allegedly work:

“So let’s say that day, right? That day of my album release party, if I had to come in contact with COVID that evening and it began to develop in my throat, the next morning I would have drank some tea like so and let my stomach acid do the rest, you know what I’m saying? So that’s my method. That’s what I use. That’s what I do.”

He continued:

“[I’m] not saying that it would work for you the way it has worked for me, but I have 13 negative tests to speak on and I’ve been everywhere. Everywhere: in the gym, in the club, I’ve been in marches and rallies, I’ve been on planes. I’ve been everywhere, you know what I’m saying? I’m not saying that people should be careless.”

T.I. and Tiny

He also indicated that both he and his wife singer/songwriter Tameka “Tiny” Harris had been tested numerous times over the past few weeks with negative results for each. However, T.I. discussed a situation where it appeared that at some point, Tiny did in fact have COVID-19 at some point:

“So say about test number nine, she had a negative test. I had a negative test. However, she had antibodies which says that sometime between the test before that and this test, she caught the virus, fought it off, and did not give it to me. So that’s my experience. That’s my personal experience. That’s why I have the perspective that I have. If I can be as close as I’ve been to my wife [and] she had it, developed antibodies, and fought it off and I still didn’t catch it, I think I’d be okay in the club.”

In the wake of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, T.I. said he’d rather choose preparedness over fear:

“It’s not like I’m just careless, you know, about my concerns for the virus. I just refuse to live in fear. You know what I mean? I’d rather prepare and when I say prepare, some people feel like that’s a mask. I, myself, have a perspective that I’d rather boost my immune system to defend me against COVID should I come in contact with it rather than wear a mask and hide in fear of coming in contact with it.”

Busta Rhymes

He also spoke on turning down a Verzuz battle against Busta Rhymes who recently challenged him. T.I. said it was simply a situation where he felt it would have been unfair for them to participate in the popular nostalgic music battle broadcast on Instagram:

“I was just, unfortunately, about a decade and a half late for this battle. You dig what I’m sayin’? I mean you’re never gonna see a fight sanctioned where you have a fighter that’s 225 pounds fighting someone that’s 145 pounds. And not to say that he isn’t worthy or not to say that he isn’t accomplished or he isn’t on a level. I’m saying I don’t have the years in the game that this man has so I don’t understand why he would not go to one of his, you know, contemporaries.”

He went on to say that he respects Busta Rhymes a great deal and even credits him for motivating his upcoming battle with Jeezy. He likened Busta Rhymes’ request to him asking for a Verzuz battle with a younger rapper:

“That’s just like me going and trying to call out [Young] Thug: ‘Aye Thug, let’s gon’ and do a Verzuz, me and you.’ This ain’t fair! You know what I meant? It just isn’t fair. That’s all I’m sayin’.”

Tiny Harris Reacts To Sabrina Petersen’s Claims That T.I. Put A Gun To Her Head: Stop Harassing My Family! + Sabrina Responds ‘You’re Disgusting, You Know What Happened’

Sabrina Petersen, founder of The Glam University, is sharing more of her story as Tiny Harris reacts to her allegations that  T.I. allegedly put a gun to her head.

 

It’s not clear when the alleged incident happened, but Tiny Harris questioned the claim on Instagram as she defended her husband.

She shared a post from Petersen’s Glam University page that dates back to Feb. 2, 2019 and salutes T.I. The post reads,

“When uncles STEP THE F— UP! T.I. & @jeezy heard I took in another one! THEY STEPPED UP… in life the people you debate with will be the same people to save you”

Tiny Harris added the caption,

“Hold up… So you want your abuser to train your sons? He was just uncle 2 years ago … now when did you say my husband assaulted you? Did you change your mind or change it back? What’s up wit you today Pooh? I’m confused … Stop Harassing My Family. You strange. Everybody know you been special (face slicing seminar lady). Please Get help. But LEAVE US ALONE??”

Sabrina Petersen has since taken to Instagram live to respond, and double down on her allegations against the What You Know rapper.

She began with,

“For me to speak on my truth, and to actually say what happened to me, I’m not doing anyone a disservice at that. I’m speaking on my truth. The same way my truth is that I went to prison. The same way my truth is that I used to dance. The same way my truth is that I’m a single mother. That is my truth. I pray that today every single woman that has a fabric or fiber or her truth, that may not sit well with how people want to idolize people, I pray that you stand up in your truth.”

She continued and appeared to call out Tiny. She said,

“But the part that’s disheartening and more hurtful than anything else, is that the woman that I stood for, the ‘friend’ whose back I had… the things you’re saying, you’re disgusting. You’re a disgusting individual. You’re disgusting. Don’t ever let loyalty kill your moral compass. Don’t ever let money kill the person you are within. Don’t ever let that happen. You know what happened. I know what happened. I don’t understand how you got these big old balls of steel because you know me…”

Sabrina Petersen

She went on to say that Tiny should be concerned about more women coming forward and telling their story.

“I’m the smallest bit of your worries. Your worries need to be because my voice has [spoken] up, many women will follow. That’s what you need to be worried about today. Don’t worry about me. I’m outside the statute of limitations. I don’t need nothing from you. But my truth is my truth. My truth, what happened to me, my pain, my trauma, what I experienced, what I’m experiencing right now, these are all my truths. And regardless of how you wanna look at it, how you wanna spin it, how you wanna say it, who you wanna protect, who you wanna cover up, this is a problem. This is a problem. A real problem. You know what happened, I know what happened, he knows what happened… What you won’t do, on top of everything else, is you won’t lie on me. We’re gonna go truth for truth. The truth is, Clifford Harris put a gun to my head.”

She later added,

…He was on probation, I never once called the police on him, I never once started a case.”

She then addressed the post Tiny shared of T.I. with her son and said,

“As far as my child knowing him, your daughter calls me ‘Auntie’, so as far as my child taking a picture with him, and me saying that’s is uncle…that was two years ago. My child has never been in a private setting with him at all. Let’s be clear on that. But the horrible part about it all is victim shaming. It’s one thing to go through what you go through in life… the statute of limitations is up. He can’t go to jail for what he did to me. At the end of the day, my truth is my truth, what I lived is what I lived. No one can discount that. No one can discount the amount of time it took for me to get over the trauma.”

She added,

“If you ever had a cold pistol put to the side of your head with pressure to it, you would know. I don’t care if it’s 10, 20, 30 years later, that’s something you would never forget. You would never forget that moment, of someone threatening and pushing a gun, a cold gun against your face and your head, saying ‘B—- I’ll kill you, b—- I’ll kill you.’ I don’t care how many years ago it happened. It happened. That’s what happened to me. And I’ll be d-mned if anybody tries to say I’m speaking on something for clout… I don’t need any clout for something a) I didn’t sue him for and b) I didn’t get him arrested for. I thought, my character at that young age I was at, that that was me being down. Knowing someone was on paperwork, knowing someone had a family, not to sue them…”

She later took to Instagram and said she was “interviewing all victims.”

EXCLUSIVE: T.I. & Tiny Are NOT Facing An Investigation Amid Accusations, No Lawsuits Have Been Filed

theJasmineBRAND has an exclusive update on the accusations against T.I. and Tiny. 

As previously reported, the couple faced allegations of drugging, kidnapping, and sexually abusing dozens of women. It all began after Tiny’s former friend Sabrina Petersen accused T.I. of holding a gun to her head. She later shared stories from alleged victims who made the accusations against him and Tiny. See those here.

Sabrina Petersen, T.I.

Now, despite the allegations, and two of the sexual abuse accusers retaining lawyer Lisa Bloom, sources tell us that the couple

“is not currently under investigation and no lawsuits have been filed.”

A source also tells us that,

“Police and authorities also have not contacted them concerning the claims.”

Filming for VH1’s T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle is still on hold. It was initially scheduled to premiere this spring.

A spokesperson for MTV Entertainment said earlier this month:

“We are aware of the allegations, and while they are not connected to our show, we have reached out to T.I. and Tameka Harris, as well as local and state officials. Given the serious nature of the allegations, we have decided to suspend production in order to gather more information.”

 

Tiny Harris, Kandi Burruss

Meanwhile, their friend and Tiny’s Xscape groupmate Kandi Burruss has defended them against the allegations.

She first said during an appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live: 

“Um, I don’t really wanna speak on that situation.”

She continued,

“What I want to say is people put out any rumor about somebody right now. This society has become a ‘you’re guilty until proven innocent’ instead of ‘you’re innocent until proven guilty.’ And I do not like that. I will say they’re like family to me. Honestly, Tiny and I grew up together. Because of the things that were even said on our show, people always try to wrap me up into any rumor that happens right now. I wanna say, I don’t like that.”

She appeared to be referencing allegations that she faced on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Her co-star Porsha Williams alleged that Kandi Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker wanted to drug her. It was later revealed that former cast member Phaedra Parks started the false rumor. Kandi Burruss added,

“I don’t like when people start rumors on folks and I would like for society to stop [being] so quick to try to make somebody guilty without taking the time to get [information] or anything. So, I don’t like what’s happening right now and I’ll just leave it at that.”

She ended with,

 “What I will say is, Tiny is my sister and I have never personally seen her doing any of that.”

Sabrina Peterson To Sue T.I. & Tiny Harris And Shekinah Anderson For Defamation + Attorney Representing Multiple Women Alleging Violent Sex Crimes By Couple To Hold Virtual Press Conference In Atlanta

Sabrina Peterson To Sue T.I. & Tiny Harris and Shekinah Anderson For Defamation + Attorney Representing Multiple Women Alleging Violent Sex Crimes By Couple To Hold Virtual Press Conference In Atlanta

New developments have unfolded surrounding the controversy involving Clifford “T.I” Harris and wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris.

An Attorney (Tyrone A. Blackburn, Esq, T. A. Blackburn Law PLLC) representing multiple women alleging violent sex crimes by the couple plan to hold a virtual press conference in Atlanta on Monday, March 1st.

Also, we are told that a defamation suit will be filed in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County on behalf of Sabrina Peterson against T&T and Shekinah Anderson on Monday, March 1.

See the official attorney press release below.

In the past several weeks, over thirty (30) women, survivors, and witnesses contacted attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn, Esq, T. A. Blackburn Law PLLC, with a myriad of allegations of forced drugging, kidnapping, rape, and intimidation in at least two states, including California and Georgia against Clifford Harris “T.I.,” and his wife Tameka Harris “Tiny” (collectively, “T&T”).

These criminal allegations span over fifteen years of methodical, sadistic abuse against women in various venues throughout the country. These individual claims paint eerily consistent allegations of women prior to or upon immediately entering T&T’s home, hotel, or tour bus were coerced by Tiny to ingest drugs or unknowingly administered drugs to impair the victims’ ability to consent to subsequent vile sexual acts.

Due to the breadth and complexity of this matter, the potential for many victims coming forward, jurisdictional powers and resources needed to investigate T&T and their co-conspirators, criminal referrals were sent by Mr. Blackburn to the Georgia US Attorney in the Northern District, the California U.S. Attorney in the Central District, State Attorney Generals of California and Georgia, and the Los Angeles District Attorney Office. The referrals request the respective offices open a criminal probe under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and Georgia’s Rape, Kidnapping, RICO, and Terroristic Threats Statues.

“On January 29, 2021, T.I. stated in an online video, ‘Women who have been victimized deserve to be heard. Women, black women, in particular, should be supported, protected, defended, and uplifted.’ I wholeheartedly agree, and that’s why the criminal referrals were necessary,” said Mr. Tyrone A. Blackburn.

In the same video, T.I. states’…any woman out there who’s going through things…you have a story, you should come forward…The truth is what needs to be heard,’ to which Mr. Blackburn added, “Again, I agree with T.I., if anyone is a victim or witness to the alleged sex crimes, contact us and be part of a movement to end this reign of depravity.”

Anyone who has suffered or witnessed any drugging, kidnapping, or raping by T&T may reach out confidentially via email: info @ tablackburnlaw. Com.

Blackburn will hold a press conference to discuss the criminal referrals his firm sent to prosecutors in Georgia and California to open criminal investigations.

What are your thoughts about the latest developments in this case? Let us know in the comments below.

T.I. & Tiny Respond To New Sexual Assault Allegations From 3 Women

T.I. & Tiny Respond To New Sexual Assault Allegations From Three Women

T.I. (real name Clifford Harris) and wife Tameka ‘Tiny’ Harris are speaking out, addressing the three more unnamed women have come forward with sexual assault allegations against them.

According to reports, the three women are represented by attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn. The attorney’s spokesperson claim that one 20-year-old woman claimed the couple “pulled out a pill and forced her to swallow it” when she met them at a nightclub in Miami in 2010. Blackburn’s spokesperson also said she alleged that she was later taken to a South Beach hotel, where the couple’s security allegedly took her phone and T.I. “forced her to take a powdered substance from his finger” and

“[Tiny] undressed her and proceeded to engage in sexual intercourse. She said her body was numb, the room was slowing down, and she could not consent.”

The other two women claim T.I. and a male friend of drugged and raped her in a Miami hotel during Memorial Day weekend in 2010. The other woman alleges she was

“drugged… and sex trafficked in Nevada, California, and Florida.”

Meanwhile, Steve Sadow, counsel for T.I. and Tiny, provided a statement on the Harrises’ behalf to Billboard on Monday (April 5):

“The Harrises are still waiting for the accusers to reveal themselves publicly. By continuing to hide behind anonymous allegations, the unnamed accusers effectively render themselves not credible and unworthy of belief. We say: Let the light shine on their identities so we can go about disproving these scurrilous accusations.”

As previously reported, Blackburn is said to be seeking a criminal investigation and approached law enforcement authorities in Georgia and California on behalf of 11 people claiming they were victimized by the couple or their entourage. The alleged incidents occurred between 2005 to 2018 and were described as instances of “sexual abuse, forced ingestion of illegal narcotics, kidnapping, terroristic threats and false imprisonment,” as well as nonsexual intimidation, assault and harassment, said Blackburn.

A spokesperson for T.I. and Tiny responded to the sexual abuse allegations in a joint statement to Billboard at the time.

“Mr. and Mrs. Harris want to be on record and more importantly want the public to know they emphatically deny in the strongest way possible the egregiously appalling allegations being made against them by Sabrina Peterson. The Harrises have had difficulty with this woman for well over a decade. They are taking this matter very seriously, and if these allegations don’t end, they will take appropriate legal action.”

The couple’s former friend, Sabrina Peterson, filed a defamation lawsuit against T.I. and Tiny on March 1, claiming T.I. threatened her with a gun and then denied it. She is suing for libel, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other causes of action.

Tiny & Shekinah Unfollow Each Other After Sabrina Peterson Tells Her To ‘STOP Talking About’ Sexual Assault Claims Against T.I. & Tiny

 

Shekinah Anderson might have gone too far in trying to defend her friend Tiny against sexual assault claims.

As previously reported, dozens of women have alleged Tiny and T.I. have drugged and sexally assaulted them over the course of several years. The accusations started after Tiny’s former friend, Sabrina Peterson, alleged T.I. once held a gun to her head.

Tiny quickly questioned the claims.

Shekinah Anderson first spoke on the allegations in January and alleged Sabrina Peterson recruited women for T.I. and Tiny.

While Sabrina Peterson filed a defamation lawsuit against her, she jumped on Shekinah’s Instagram live video Wednesday (April 14th) with a message.

She commented,

“Not sure what your legal team is saying but woman to woman STOP TALKING ABOUT this legal matter online. You are making the situation worst. I’m actually feeling bad for you.”

Since then, Tiny and Shekinah have unfollowed each other on Instagram.

The two have been friends for years and even starred in a VH1 reality show together.

What are your thoughts on Tiny and Shekinah unfollowing each other? Comment and let us know.
