It’s been a couple of months since rapper T.I.‘s release from prison, and at long last, the reality show that he’s been working on since his release is about to premiere. “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle” will feature T.I.’s wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and their children for an inside look at the private and professional life of a Grammy-winning artist.
“In this family documentary, you will see the challenges of raising children while balancing a career,” T.I. says. “It’s like a lot of families, only our home is in the spotlight.”
The new series follows the “King of the South” at his most vulnerable, as T.I. re-acclimates back into his life as a father, husband, son, musician, apparel magnate, businessman, actor and best-selling author (Power & Beauty).
During filming of a music video, the audience will catch a tender moment as T.I. teaches his son the importance of education and doing his school work. For the first time, fans will get to know T.I.’s children and see their reactions as they realize their father is a member of Hip Hop royalty. T.I. even begins to instruct his eldest son, Domani on the secrets of putting on a great concert performance and allows Domani (aka T-Money) show off his skills in front of a crowd of 3,000 at the Scream Tour.
“Tameka and I have a strong, loving family,” said T.I. “In this family documentary, you will see the challenges of raising children while balancing a career. It’s like a lot of families, only our home is in the spotlight.”
Viewers will also catch a glimpse into the very loving and always fascinating relationship between T.I. and his wife Tameka, who has faithfully stood by T.I.’s side through his highs and lows and who herself was a former member of the ’90s Grammy-winning R&B group Xscape. The mother of two of T.I.’s children, along with her own 15-year-old daughter, Tameka was forced to hold down the fort while T.I. was behind bars.
Viewers also are introduced to the OMG GIRLZ, a new up-and-coming pop group that Tameka manages.
“T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle” premieres on VH1 December 5th at 9pm.
