In the August issue of Vibe, T.I. raves about his relationship with the mother of his son “King,” Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, former singer of music group Xscape. According to MTV, the rapper confirmed that he and Tameka “Tiny” Cottle had broken up in May, but reconciled.

The two reportedly reconciled after she miscarriaged their daughter earlier this year.

“…she means to me what my mother meant to me as a kid.” He added, “Somebody that you know is consistently there, has your best interests at heart, and if ain’t nobody else there in the world, [she] gon’ be there. [Tiny’s] filled that spot in my life…,” T.I. stated in his interview.
