HB: What are your thoughts on your relationship with T.I. in the news right now?
Tiny: With any relationship, you argue, you fight, you go through things. So, that’s pretty much what it was. We were into it, but we was able to mend everything and get through it. It’s what we do.HB: What happened on Instagram when T.I. commented under your picture?
Tiny: For one, I was actually showing my side. I had my shirt up and I said something about my waist. I wasn’t showing my backside. It’s clear in my pictures when I am showing my backside, but this one in particular was not and the picture was taken from the side. Clearly, it was about my waist. I was trying to think, like, ‘Why did you say that?” But, it’s cool, we talked about it on the phone. I just didn’t understand why he had to say that there.HB: How do you feel about the rumor about you guys getting divorced?
Tiny: I don’t feel any different than when I do from the next rumor. I’ve been in the business long enough to know that this happens. It’s been a lot of different things that have been said about me and him and I know it isn’t true. So, I just let it fall to the waist side. If it don’t apply, I have to let it fly and that’s where I’m at with it.HB: What about that love child rumor?
Tiny: I haven’t seen anyone come forth and say that it’s his child. So, it definitely don’t apply!

****************************************
Pharrell calls into The Breakfast Club this morning to respond to the backlash of not having a black woman on the cover for his new album G I R L.
I get tired of people making comments like this, “WHO GIVES A FUCK IF HE DOESNT HAVE A BLACK WOMEN ON HIS COVER”. It’s better stuff in the world to speak on then if Pharrell meets the black quota.
