R&B singer and former Xscape group member Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and her boyfriend T.I. are expecting another child together.
Cottle, 32, posted the news on her personal Myspace page, stating they are expecting a baby boy. It'll be T.I.'s fifth child and the couple's second after 3-year-old King Harris.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, is currently under house arrest, after a October 2007 incident in which he allegedly attempted to purchase machine guns and silencers. He was released on $3 million bond and currently awaiting trial.
Tiny joined the R&B quartet Xscape in 1992 while attending North Atlanta Performing Arts High School. Xscape was discovered by producer Jermaine Dupri while singing at a Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday celebration in Atlanta. Dupri immediately signed the group to his new record label, So So Def Recordings. As a member of R&B group Xscape, Cottle has contributed to three of the band's platinum albums: Hummin' Comin' at 'Cha, Off the Hook, and Traces of My Lipstick. As a member of Xscape, she has received two Soul Train Music Awards for Best New R&B Artist and Best R&B Album, and the A-Town Music Award for Best Duo/Group. Cottle sang lead vocals on four of Xscape's hit singles: "Understanding", "Do You Want To?", "All I Need","Love's A Funny Thing", and "Am I Dreamin". She has also recorded on soundtracks for, Soul Food, "Panther," "Bad Boys," and "Love Jones"
Cottle is currently involved in a new project with Keisha Miles called The Ga.P Girlz. Cottle's daughter, Zonnique (aka Star) is also involved in the music industry and is part of a musical duo called the QT-Possie.

(2 of 2) Lastly, and most importantly, do not let what others say to you in these blogs, forums, etc. , no matter how positive or negative, be an influential factor on the decisions that you make in your life, we ust see you, but we really do not KNOW you. Seek God honey, He is the only one that can help you carry any of your crosses without ceasing and He can help you go in the direction that is meant for you..."Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In ALL your ways, acknowledge HIM and he shall direct your paths..."(Proverbs 3:5-6) Just some comforting words to keep you encouraged through all that you may go through and to help you stay strong for your beautiful children. God Bless you! (But little do you know that all that you endure means He already has...)

Ok...I have listened to your words on the show, i have read what the media has to say and I have read what the other individuals in the forum have to say, and even though I have something to say...NONE OF THAT MATTERS...first and foremost, I commend you for standing beside, supporting, and even handling business (when necessary) for this man. No he has not married you, but sometimes there is no amount of festivities or a piece of paper that can prove HOW much he loves you. On the contrary, T.I., a public confession of your love to her would mean more than you could ever know. Tiny, I am also a victim of loving my husband more than I love myself...I out his needs, wants, and desires all before my own...I'm telling you now, I am slowly but surely wasting away from who I used to be...so, I have started TAKING MY LIFE BACK and I feel as though maybe you should consider doing the same....
Tiny Keep doing whatcha doing they all mad cuz it aint them! U and TI have a beautiful family..it's not always about a marriage license! Stay committed to each other and those two handsome boys
This for Toya I hope Lilwanyne get back together because itn't the same without your husband by you

You and ti have been engaged 4 how long and yall got how many children if he wanted 2 marry u he wouldve been married her thats common since. jus cause a man say i wanna marry you dont mean he mean it untill he take the step 2 making it happen. u playing yo self. u jus the baby mama who there 4 the time being, it harsh but its the truth..

Tiny I want to say congratulations on the show. I watched the show last night and I was really touched that you, would give up a night with your girlfriends because your man didn't want u to go. I heard you say you wanted to do something else, never give up what you want to make someone else happy. Tip will understand in time to come. A real independant women wants things for herself. Open that salon girl and do your thing.
congradulations tiny and t.i on your fifth child thats coming to earth.
Hello, Im a major fan of Xscape and I've loved your music since I was a kid. I also like TI'S music. I want to say regardless of all the rumors we may read about on youtube and these other sites. You two are a great family and Tiny your new show is the bomb. Continue to keep it real and stay strong while tip is away. And while I watched your show I remember you saying on their you wanted to work but TI didn't want you to. I say from the heart, You have finish the nail salon you started and just continue to do you because at the end of the day. We live one life and While you are still young I say do all that you can because if TI ever decides to leave (I pray he don't) You will always have something to fall back on. I'm a 21 year old young lady and Ive been taken care of myself since I was 15 due to my mom being addicted to heroin and growing up in foster care. So you have a blessed life and keep striving for excellence.
Love Ebony
I am happy for him and all but I like him so much.Maybe I have a chance !!!! But for now congradulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ti c'mmon put that Ring on her finger plzzzz! am Happy for you guys..... Dn't worry Tameka he will marry u yeah lol
hi,i am happy for them but i am verry sad that yall lost your child i think yall should get married think yall for sharing your story
Marriage, is not for everybody. Just because society wants them to get married does not mean that they should jump the gun. I like what t.i. said in a interview. When they do decide on a date, he want it to be his event and not everybody's else's.
congrats, but come on guys, when are going to figure out that it is not the water that causes that? (just kidding) lots of happiness and health to that new cute one
CONGRATULATIONS MAY GOD BLESS U & U'R FAMILY. NO MATTER WHAT MARRIAGE OR NO MARRIAGE GOD SEES THE UNITY BETWEEN BOTH OF U. LOVE YALL MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS U & U'R FAMILY.
