T.I. MARRIED TO LONG TIME GIRLFRIEND TINY

T.I. and longtime girlfriend Tiny are now man and wife, according to recent reports.

T.I., real name Clifford Harris, and Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, were married in a secret wedding ceremony last Friday on an island that was on the outskirts of Miami.

Cottle is the mother of two of T.I.’s kids and been the rapper’s companion since 2001.

“It’s been a crazy situation around here with all that has been taking place. In regards to Tiny and T.I., yes they are officially husband and wife. It recently took place in a very private ceremony with only members of the immediate family and certain members of the Grand Hustle family,” an unnamed source told The Urban Daily.

The wedding was positioned as a family trip to the media, but doubled as a wedding.

Rapper T.I. checked into a federal prison in Forrest City, Arkansas on Tuesday (May 26).

The rapper is serving a 366-day federal prison sentence for attempting to by illegal machine guns and silencers from undercover agents in October of 2007.

MIKE TYSON’S DAUGHTER DIES TRAGICALLY

Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter has died after sustaining critical injuries from a treadmill cord wrapped around her neck as she played on Monday.

Exodus Tyson was playing around a treadmill in the family home in Phoenix at the time of the tragic accident.

Her 7-year-old brother found Exodus alive, but with the cord around her neck. At the time, her mother was cleaning in a separate part of the house. The brother immediately alerted the mother who alerted emergency services.

Exodus was taken to the hospital and placed on life support, but she died hours later.

“Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there’s a cord that hangs under the console — it’s kind of a loop,” police Sergeant Andy Hill told local Fox News. “Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it.”

Sergeant Hill has eliminated any notion of foul play around the death.

Mike Tyson was in Las Vegas, but flew to Phoenix as soon as he received the news.

A PR firm representing the family issued a statement.

“The Tyson family would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support, and we ask that we be allowed our privacy at this difficult time,” a statement released on behalf of the family said.
