Tip and Tiny have a date night
Well it hasn’t been a great month for Clifford Harris, better known as T.I.
He’s heading back to prison for 11 months, following a drug arrest while on probation for a weapons charge.
And the AXE deodorant company parted ways with him.
But, seems the actor and rapper, who was credited with talking a distressed young man off a roof the other day, is determined to make the best of things with the free time he has left.
We hear he and new wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle had dinner at Room Wednesday night. They just sat at the bar and ate steaks. Afterward they headed over to Parrish and helped Rick Ross out with a video shoot for “Pledge Allegiance to the Swag,” wrapping up around 2:30 a.m.
Afterward, Mr. and Mrs. Harris went to Tongue and Groove for a while.
After Nov. 1, of course, his whereabouts will be slightly less exciting.
Oh, by the way, we just checked out T.I.’s new “Get Back Up,” featuring Chris Brown. There’s a mention of the AJC (shout-out is probably too strong a term) in the song, which addresses T.I.’s troubles and the media coverage of them. We’re sandwiched in between TMZ and Wikipedia.
Uh, thanks?

I like T.I and Tiny. But damn Tip man up, stop going to jail and be a role model for your kids. When you have a family…”Keeping IT REAL” doesnt mean ballin’ out and being hood. When you have kids “keeping it real” means putting your kids first, acting responsible and building a solid fountaion..not rap sheet…for you kids!

Normal couples go on date nights to keep the relationship fresh. They could have spent the entire day with their kids and decided to go on a date after the kids were asleep. To Mommie and Daddy, you are a hater looking for anything. How do you know that they didn’t read to them before they left for their date?

the prison industrial system is booming as a result of victimless crimes.
In any well advanced society, no human being should serve one day in jail unless there is a victim.

@Vadar: well said! Most of these on here Voice in particular have a serious problem with seperating this couple from their own lives! Most of the criticism I’ve seen on here about not being with the kids is just dumb. understand they prob did not leave the house until after 8-9pm that when kids are supposed to get ready for Bed! Its a School night!!! Plus they do not have 9-5 jobs so they are home with the kids all day. take them to school and pick them up after EVERY Day! most of us 9-5 types do not have that kind of luxury to be there for the kids every day all day… think people!

Rappers are the best role models. They set such great standards for the kids. They behave properly, respect others, treat women the right way, they don’t do drugs and they don’t commit crimes. Talk about the most useless people on the planet.

If TI and Tiny can focus more on their children just like they focus on drugs and the partying, their life would be wonderful. TI you said on your last arrest that you were SORRY, you said it correct. Sorry for being a dope head,sorry for being a Jacka$$, sorry for not being a father to your children, or just sorry that you and your wife got caught with your pants down. Take some of that money you earn, find a way to use on education for yourself and wife. Get some common sense; stop being self destructed and clean your wife up if you truly love her. If you are as smart as you want people to believe, help these children who think that you sit on top of the world become more accountable for their getting an education. Help these same children who are looking toward you to value life that is given to us by Jesus Christ our Lord. I sincerely hope that you will turn your life and wife life around to something very positive. Now you have 18 months or longer to really sit and address what you really want out of life, be real with yourself before you can be a real husband to your wife.

All I can say to all the comments, is WOW. Let the first person without sin, cast the first stone. I guess you all are saints. Neither of you have made the same mistake more than once. WOW I did not think I would meet a full blooded saint. I know I am not perfect. I am not here to judge anyone. I just pray that T.I. gets the help he needs. I prayer that his family continue to support him. I pray that society will stop putting celebrities on a throne. T.I., keep your head up and know that GOD loves you.

Date Night…Has anybody ever heard of this. Most normal couples go on a date. Shut up people about spending time with their kids. Kids should be in bed after 9:00 pm. After kids are in bed, couples need time together for a date.

Ummmm, people: get a grip. TIP & Tiny will be fine. You gotta go through valleys to get to the mountains…this is just another valley he has to go through in order for God to use him later on down the line. None of us are immune from trials and tribulations; we just experience different kinds. I wish we all could make as much money on our jobs as TIP will be making sitting on his azz in jail (lol!). To Mr. & Mrs. Harris, I say dust all of these haters off. TIP, the real fans of your music (and I stress that I’m merely a fan of his music, no one but his wife needs to be his real PERSONAL FAN) will be here when you come home.

Again, no one is immune from trials and tribulations. TIP and Tiny don’t need my sympathy, they’ll be just fine; but, the poor wife of that trifling judge who’s been married to him for 40 plus years needs ALL of OUR SYMPATHY. NOW THAT’S PATEHTIC.

T.I.’s lack of better judgement and bad decisions were personal ones. They affected him and his family. NOT one of us, have to do a day of that 11months for him. If we stop putting people on these pedestals, we won’t be so disappointed when they slip off of them!!

Just because this man spent ONE night out with his wife doesn’t mean they don’t spend time with their kids. All you ever hear about is when they’re in the public which doesn’t account to 24 hrs. a day. He made a very bad decision & he will pay for it. He is still one of the nicest guys around & I hope THIS time he’s learned his lesson. Pray for him and his family to grow up (wife too). I guarantee he’ll be even bigger when he gets out. This just might be what he needs to finally take it all seriously.

I love the way TI and Tiny spend time with each other before and after there marriage. T.I stay strong and this time to will pass. Tiny you should pray for your family and keep the kids occupied while daddy’s gone. I love T.I as an artist and many people make mistakes in life, these are the average everyday people and just because they maybe looked at as celebrities, they are no different than your sister, brother, cousin, son, daughter, friend, etc. So keep praying Tiny for your husband and T.I stay strong for your kids and wife. Next year when you get out you will be even a better person than then you are today.

Typical behavior from this group of people. Rapsheet full of felonies+liberal judge= unlimited second chances. For the two lives he might have touched trying to preach his “do right B.S.,” there are 10,000 that would rather identify with his crap of being a drug dealer. Sickening that there is an entire city embracing thuggery.

I love how the defense is changing the look of Amie Michael for her trial. She went from looking like a thugette, to now looking like a 35-year-old secretary. I hope the jury can see through that. Why on earth would someone leave an accident and hide their car unless they’re guilty? People have to realize that you can’t drive as fast as you like, weaving in and out of traffic, talking on a phone, texting, etc. A car can be a weapon, and on the rare occasion that I have to get on I-285, it makes me so glad that I don’t have to do it everyday. This city is becoming a disaster, and cops need to crack down more on people who drive like idiots.

It’s planet of the apes here in Atlanta now.
And great – they went to tongue and Groove to ghetto that place out some more.
As if it could be any more ghettoed and inhibited by the wanna bees.
I remember before Atlanta became infested, a normal person could actually go to T&G without feeling like you were in some bad B rappa movie.
TI and his ilk are examples of everything that has gone wrong with Atlanta in the last 10 years.
But it’s cool – more room at the inn for his kind!

Just happened to hear it on the radio and happened to drive over there.

Every culture in America has multiple facets; the problem w/ black culture in America is that the image rap projects is pervasive.
