T.I.'s wife Tiny, Lil Wayne's Toya get BET show

Tbd-tamekacottle052809 With rapper T.I. off to prison on gun charges and nothing else to do, it looks like wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle is teaming up with Lil Wayne's girl Antonia "Toya" Carter for a new TV show to while away the hours. Hey, if it's called Tiny and Toya, we've got to watch.

BET announced that the show will follow the two through the Atlanta music industry for a half-hour show premiere June 30. The hook is that both girls are apparently sick of living in the shadow of their high-profile boys. Although, isn't being with those two how they got famous in the first place?

woww

The show was ok. I dont like the fact the Tiny wants to focus her life around T.I she was something before she even meet him, so why not show ladies how to comfortable with themselves not just put their life on hold for a man, and Tiny is always saying " you know me as T.I women. No we know you from Xcape and you should be proud of that

UNBELIEVABLE...good luck Tiny&Toya in whatever you ladies decide to do with either careers/family and men. If people were not so judgemental when it came to other peoples business...they would find the time to tackle their own business/ but it is easier to point the finger at others because pointing it at yourself can be very dangerous. People are so fixated on how someone looks on the outside - the miss the true blessings of what a person is really made of on the inside. Narrow minded/empty minded is what you call such closed minded people. Bless the child that has his or her own and that is what I am seeing on this reality show. do the damn thing ladies. TI - handle your business with your family ...i see why your with your wife opposed to these chicken heads on this blog needing a SPEAK AND SPELL CLASS. Also, a wise african american male once said "Ugly is as Ugly does...beauty runs skin deep.

BET is owned by Viacom, a media conglomerate that owns CBS, MTV and other content producing companies. Bob Johnson sold the company years ago and is no longer affiliated with them at all.

Mz Blac

I like the show

83baby09

WHY SO MANY HATERS? FIRST OFF TINY IS NOT MARRIED 2 T.I! YET! AND TOYA IS LIL WAYNE EX WIFE NOT JUST HIS A GIRL OR DAUGHTERS MAMMA. IF YOU WATCH THE SHOW YOU WOULD KNOW THAT. AND TINY WAS FAMOUS BEFORE SHE MEET T.I SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE HATIN ON THEM CUZ THEY DOING THEY THING ON TV. IF SOMEONE GAVE YOU A TV SHOW ABOUT YOUR LIFE YOU WOULD DO IT TOO.

Lovely

Well I absolutely love the show and Tiny and Toya seem to be some really cool chicks. So hey if you don't like the show then don't watch it but if you do it then great! But don't bash these women that's what's wrong with black folk today always want to put the next black person down don't knock they hussell. If BET wanted to give you a show you would take too!

pep5i

ti wife ugly azz hell look like her country azz white momma and lil waynes wife she shouldve stayed wit him dey make a cute couple but i guess sumtimes thangz aint meant to be keep ya head up gurl..

business

Tiny is a funny looking lady, but you gotta appreciate the relationship that she and T.I. has.. she was with him basically before he is what he is now... thats y he loves her. and Toya id mean she lil wayne ex wife but.. other than that does she Really Need a show

Nikki

and oh sorry one of them was in a group called xscape
oh your right NOW i should really care about what she's doing with her life! now it REALLY matters cuz she was in Xscape!!! she's still only getting thsi show NOW becuz she hooked up with T.I and he got arrested...stupid!

Nikki

Give me a break! this is ridiculous! so are all these shows WHO CARES about some rappers girlfriends lives? why do we care about this? arent there far more important things to watch or spend your energy on? these two little ghetto hoes hooked up with rich rappers and got famous from it! big deal! its just like paris hilton, being famous for nothing! they have no talent or special skill beyond hookin up with the right man...yet we turn them into celebrities! all these shows are just feeding us with mindless nonsense so we dont focus any attention on whats really going on in the world around us! open your eyes and open your minds, stop wasting your time and attention on these people and their foolish little lives..who will remember these two chicks in 5 years? and if we do remember them what will we even remember them for?? nothing useful or important...maybe one of them will really humiliate themselves on the show! yay then we will have something to remember what a joke!
i cancelled BET on my cable, because they have become somthing I am ashamed to say is black owned...they are only feeding into whats destroying our people and our culture! disgusting

dert da dert

BET is black owned ever hear of Robert Johnson? why u think its BLACK entertainment television

Mz.RudeGAl4rmNC

I think that everyone that is hating on Tiny and Toya, are freak'n miserable. I mean first of all they probably got more money then ya'll and even if people say Tiny ugly she got TI, a happy family, and i good life. And I hate when people always say Toya just Lil Wayne baby mama. Ok and how many girls out there is just some dudes baby mama. How many people can say they put up the the s*** she put up with??? Not a lot. At least she held her child down at such a young age &&& is tryna find out who she truly is. This show was not meant for people to HATE, it was meant to show how they are trying to get through their certain situations.&&& These situations are very relatable. So please just either watch the show and enjoy or find something else on TV.

keisha

FIRST OF ALL, TINY WAS THE ONE WITH MONEY AND SHE WAS TAKING CARE OF T.I. WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO DO HIS TRAP THANG AND HIS RAP THANG. SHE WAS WITH XSCAPE MAYBE YOU SHOULD YOU TUBE "UNDERSTANDING' "MY LITTLE SECRET" AND "JUST KICKIN IT" WHICH SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND A VERSE IN EVERY SONG...she wasnt just a backup singer / As for Toya i didnt really no anything about her except that she use to date Chris Webber for a while, she is beautiful and real as hell.

L.Boyd

I watched an episode and was shocked at how bad Tiny looks and her speech is 100 times worse than she looks. It appears that she has had massive plastic surgery done on her face, lips, and nose. On an episode her mother told her that her voice is the best voice ever.I'm sorry but I remember the dark skin girl did all the singing in the group not Tiny contrary to what her mother thinks.

tesha

O I forgot one more thing....lilianna go choke yaself

tesha

All of y'all are stupid for even arguing over folks who don't give a %^&* about any of you. By watching their show you are making them money and that's what those crazy broads want. I think the show is whack however. Tiny needs to get a clue and what is it Toya wants?? Lil Wayne is obviously not tripping, why is she? I'm sure she can get another good guy maybe not one wit the same type of paper weezy got but a cool dude. Good luck to all. R.I.P MJ

bet is not black owned people

PThomas

It's a sad day when Black people are defending a show like "Tiny and Toya". The personal attacks against the women is also so sad. But, the show itself is trash! I thought it looked lame from the preview concept, but vowed to give it a chance. And now that I have, it is ridiculous. BET should be ashame of it's continue explortation of its own people for ratings. When you have polls showing only 13% of Black Americans are watching the network, yet its viewer- ship is multiplying...someone should think about that! None Blacks are tuning in to see our people show there ignorance to the nation. What happen to having some pride! Black PRIDE...??? We have lost it. And we can't even see it! What idiots we are!

paula

Please don't beat these girls up before they even have a chance. Everyone deserves a chance. If I could make an easy quick dollar I certainly would. I hope they make it and make some good money doing it. These women have mouths to feed and men who can't or won't do it for them right now.Go girls, feed your babies, by any means necessary.

truluver

tiny is nort ugly she is the most sexiest gurl i eva seen in da world

Puertorican Cutie

Damn, Tiny is so fuckin ugly. I can't believe Ti slept with her. She's the ugliest mixed girl I've ever seen. Every time I look at that face, I can't stop laughing. She looks like fuckin droopy, sad and wrinkly all the damn time. Toya is cute but Tiny, whoa...TI is so fine, I can't believe he's with this chick.

KESHAUN

I THINK THAT TINY IS SO FINE.AND T.I IS BEST RAPPER ALIVE.HOPE FOR THE BEST FOR HIM AND HIS KIDS.AND YOU ARE STILL THE BEST

annymous

Tiny is not ghetto, and I think that she speaks okay. Every one can not speak the way you want them too. We are all different in our own way. And maybe TI thinks that she is beautiful person. YOu dont have to go for looks all the time and a person can be beautiful inside and out. I happen to think that she is a very pretty girl and I am proud of her doing her thing.The same for Toya, she is trying to do her thing and it can be hard when you have been with a celebrity as she has and it is obviously that she is praying that she can get her family back with Wayne. I wish the both of them luck.

annymous

I dont see how people could be so mean and so cruel as to calling people names. Why cant people just embrace these two black women and see that they are doing something positive. They want to make money just like everyone else out there. I think that the show was good and Tiny is a really cool person. I know how it must feel to listen to some of these blogs about her when you dont know her. There is nothing ugle about her but there is something ugly about you posting such nonsense as you did.

mswin

i must agree both these chicks look a little worn and torn in the face..toya cause wayne is wild and out of control and cheated on her time and time again and left her and hasnt looked back since and she is still trying to recover and come back from it but as soon as she almost recovers the wild negro does something else…and poor tiny is just playing the role for ti he will never marry her..i dont care how many diamonds,purses,babies he puts in her, or sex he gives her it doesnt mean nothing if she cant get him to commit those things just keep her pacified and softens the blows when ever he cheats and it hits home..im sure he is doing the same thing for some one else and she sitting back laughing...and i mean really what is keeping him from marrying her??? i just dont get it... tiny is just the fall guy…i really feel sorry for both these chicks they both just stuck while their so call ex and man is living their lives..word for them both find yourself cause once ti done with tiny IT’S OVER FOR HER cause she washed up and i cant see no one that would attempt to step into that spot..TOYA THEIR STILL MAY BE SOME HOPE in finding someone..gotta let wayne go thats over with and done sweetie.. she kinda cute..goodluck ladies all i can say..

monique

i want to know what kind of weave toya has i love it i need to get my weave did

dennis ceballos

it going to be a ghetto show completley because Tiny can't speak can't understand her and T.I what did you see in her Tiny !!!!!like for real !!!! yo

Anqellina

c i agree with you completely. Lianna, you are probably very ignorant. You write like a five year old and you probably have the mind stamina of a monkey. But speaking about the show i feel that it's going to be stupid. Let's be honest i dont like some BET shows. Your famous hip-hop boyfriends are the reason you are here today. This is just a way for Tiny and Toya to make more money. BET give out money to those who really need it.....

Nina

I think that BET is reaching with the reality shows. Everyone who is a celebrity, married to a celebrity, wants to be married to a celebrity, wants to be a celebrity...is coming up with a reality show and BET is trying to get in on the fame. I hate to say it but this will be another show that gets dragged out for three or four "seasons" (if that is what you want to call 'em) and will result in a "spin off" that will not be watched. Keyshia Cole did it and now Neffie and Frankie have a show. Instead of investing all of this time and money into this nonsense...BET should have put more thought into the "Tribute" they did for Michael Jackson at the "Awards" tonight.

c

Lianna, for one, you sound ignorant when you write out stupid little remarks about black people this and white people that... I'm asian, and you just sound ignorant. You should use spell check next time if you don't know how to spell. Putting other people down via blogs is a coward way of things and hiding behind it all. Put your energy into something more positive, and quit sitting on your lazy @ss remarking about how the color of anyones skin is any of your concerns.

Aalliyah Martinez

hi this is your fan ya.. what is ur phone number ... wont tell no one!!! My e-mail is : basketballchick207@gmail.com just e-mail me pleez!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cynthia cromwell

hello i love t.i wifey ?

Lianna Ranee'

YES SWEETHEART GHETTO TRASH "BLACK PEOPLE" ARE COMING OUT WITH A TV SHOW AND GHETTO TRASH "BLACK PEOPLE" DO HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT NOW!!! WE MAY BE COLORED BUT WE ARE DAMN SHO DOING BETTER THEN SOME OF YOU IGNORENT SELF CENTER "AND I AINT GONNA CALL YOU OUT YOUR NAME" WHITE PEOPLE!!
"NO IM NOT RACES AT ALL I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE A DIFFENT COLOR THEN I AM BUT WE "BLACK PEOPLE" SURE ARE SHOWING HOW INTELLIENT WE HAVE CAME! SO MAYBE WHEN YOU HEAR ON THE NEWS"A CACASION MALE/FEMALE KILLED THERE WIFE OR BEAT THERE WIFE" I WANT YOU TO SAY THIS "I NEVER SEE A BLACK MALE/FEMALE MAKE IT TO THE NEW WITH THIS KIND OF STUFF!" AND WHEN THEY DO PUT "US" ON THE NEWS ITS WHEN OUR HAIR AINT DONE , WE DONE HAVE A BRA ON , WHEN WE ARE ASHY AND WHEN SOME OF US HARDLY KNOW HOW TO SPEAK THATS HOW white people do us! AND AGAIN ImNOT RACES I JUST WANT YOU TO think ABOUT THIS! AND I DARE YOU TO SAY THIS ISNT TRUE BECAUSE YOU KNOW ITS THE DOWN RIGHT DIRTY TRUTH
Now thank you and have a blessed day!

John

Great, ghetto trash gets their own TV show.

Nicole

Right, T.I. recorded his first album in Tiny's basement studio, he used to live with her, and Toya is the X wife of little Wyane, they have a daughter together, His girl is Lauren London who is pregnant by him now. In my opinion, Toya is just Tiny's friend. but I think the show will be fun to watch.

Eric

LOL this is why people don't pay for the St.Pete times. They just write idiotic material and expect people to believe what they write. What a idiot.

Patrick

No you ignorant idiot, that is not how Tiny got famous. She was famous before TI. She was in the girl group Xscape back in the 90's. Think before you speak please.
