Tameka "Tiny" Cottle had finally put the divorce rumors to rest as the singer sends her 4th wedding anniversary love to her husband, rapper T. I. Harris.
On the day of their anniversary, Tiny posted a picture on Instagram to commemorate another year in their marriage. She captioned the photo, "Four years ago @troubleman31 made me The Mrs. Harris. This was the best day ever! My own Fairytale wedding with El DeBarge singing 'All This Love' during our first dance and @iamjamiefoxx sung me down the aisle. It does not get much better than that. Happy Anniversary to the man I LOVE, my husband."
In an open letter to VIBE, the former Xscape vocalist shared the couple's difficulties in the marriage. Tiny also talked about her recent song "What The F*ck You Gon' Do," of which ccording to Mstarz, the track was about Tiny warning her husband that he has a lot to lose if she decides to leave as a result of all his alleged marital affairs.
"My new song is a statement. I wrote this song a year ago. I never planned to put it out. It was therapy for me. At the time, I was really going through a lot. Stuff that the public didn't know and still doesn't know. And over the past year, as things have unfolded publicly, people expected me to speak on it. And then I realized, I did speak on all of this, a year ago, in this song. So it made sense to release it," Tiny said.
Tiny also shared that contrary to people's beliefs about her and T.I., the two have been working on their marriage, and that the timeliness of her and T.I.'s single releases was just a coincidence. She notes that her husband's latest single is titled, aptly, "Stay."
"I've had people say, why not just talk to your husband about all this instead of talking to him through a song. Please believe, I'm doing that too! You're not in our house. You're not in our conversations. You're not in our bed at night. This song is not all there is to this relationship," she said.
Tiny ended the letter with hope that the two would be able to weather their marriage troubles.
"T.I.'s song-yeah. I love it. I can't deny it. I listen to it on repeat. I love that he expressed himself that well. I've watched him in the studio and his work ethic is effortless. So to hear him put that energy into something like this... it made me happy. And since we've been going through...whatever...to hear that meant a lot to me. Will our music affect our real-life relationship? I really don't know. I mean if it does, I hope it's in a good way. Hopefully, it works out in our favor in the end. All I know is that I'm working on it. We're working on it," she said.
Enstarz said T.I. also commented about rumors surrounding his marriage on the gospel radio program "The James Fortune Show." He said at that time, "You can't go through the amount of things I've gone through in my life and not recognize the presence of God or the hand of God in your life. Just to acknowledge it is mandatory."
