Celeb News This Week: Tiny Harris Shocks Husband T.I. With Marital Advice She Received From Kandi Burruss’ Mother While On His “Expeditiously” Podcast
Tameka “Tiny” Harris was a special guest on her husband T.I.’s “Expeditiously” podcast. The couple who have been together for nearly 20 years and recently celebrated their nine-year wedding anniversary, spoke on topics relating to singlehood and married life. The rapper shared a clip on his Instagram page Tuesday, Oct. 22, in which he asked his wife her take on why people get married nowadays and how it’s changed from “back in the day.”
“Well, I don’t know,” Tiny answered, before revealing that her group mate Kandi Burruss‘ mother, Mama Joyce, advised her to marry for security and not love.
“I’ll never forget when I was about 16, 15-years-old, Aunt Joyce, Kandi’s mama, told me: ‘Do not marry for love, marry for … security,’” the mother of four added, seemingly shocking T.I.
According to Tiny, at the time, she didn’t understand what Mama Joyce meant. However, before she could finish her statement, T.I. interrupted and jokingly said, “See, nobody had that conversation me.”
“See, men, this the first thing, right,” he continued. “Women are being trained and conditioned from children. This young lady [was] 15 years old, an older … like an O.G., gave her the game and said, ‘Listen here, young lady. You gon’ fall in love, but forget that.’”
T.I. urged fans to watch the upcoming episode on his Instagram and wrote in his caption, “Come join The Battle of the Sexes With Me, Mrs H. @majorgirl. … She walked me right into this one didn’t she???.”
His followers also took to the comment section of the post to contribute on the discussion.

sobluearomabar:”I enjoyed this. Women are dating and marrying down because black women are more successful than men. Black men are the least paid around the world, they are being oppressed in so many ways. There is a much smaller percentage of successful black men as well as decent. Once you minus the married men, the jail dudes, the gays, and the trifling you get a smaller pot to choose from unless you open your options to other cultures of men. It’s hard to walk away from Black vitamin D🤷♂️”
qveenestarnes:” Love don’t pay the bills. I would say marry for both of you can. Love is going to get you through those rough patches. Whatever the “convenience” is don’t matter when the going get tough and the tough gets going. But if you can marry for both, you cutting 💯.”
tyrameral: “What ppl seem to forgot is what it’s programmed in our dna. Way back when the man was the one going out hunting and the woman would stay in a save place with their children. Men are the stronger human physically but women keep the togetherness of a family because we are emotionally wired and we protect our family.”
rashedaisworthy:” You marry for money…your gonna warm every penny of it. But y’all do what you think is best 🙏🏾”.
tanyiaalea07:” That is true…but u can’t marry for security either!!!”
