T.I. Says He Called It Early—Reveals He Wanted Tiny Since Xscape’s First Video “Just Kickin It”

T.I. is letting it be known—his love story with Tameka “Tiny” Harris was written way before they ever linked up.

During a recent sit-down on Hot 97, Tip revealed he had his eye on Tiny all the way back when she was part of the iconic R&B group Xscape.

When their hit single Just Kickin’ It dropped, T.I. says he already made up his mind.

“I said I was gon’ get her when the first video dropped… I said, ‘Imma get the little one!’ She was my size,” he shared.

But it wasn’t exactly love at first shot—for Tiny, at least.

According to Tip, Tiny initially curved him and wasn’t really checking for him like that. However, he stayed persistent and eventually found a way to break the ice—by making her laugh and keeping things real about his vibe.

He joked that mentioning he had some good weed and inviting her to smoke finally got her attention, shifting the energy between them.

From there, things clearly took off. What started as a long-shot crush turned into one of hip-hop’s most talked-about marriages, filled with ups, downs, and everything in between.

Now, years later, T.I. is looking back at it like he manifested the whole thing from day one.
