Clifford “T.I.” Harris and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle hit up The Wendy Williams Show this morning to promote their upcoming VH1 reality show, which airs next Monday (December 5, 2011 at 9pm EST)
[WATCH: Sneak Peek: T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle ~ VIDEO]
Wendy attempted to bring up old sh*t, asking about last year’s drug arrest, but Tip promptly shut her down. Not once… not twice… but over and over again.
The talk show host was persistent though, and switch things up to ask Tiny ow she felt about 50 Cent saying Tiny shoulda took the rap.
That’s when Tip intervened…. cutting Tiny off like… ‘naw boo, I got this’:
Oh my God…. I’ve already been very vocal about how I felt as it pertains to that. I’ve already had a conversation with Fif and… we now have a concise understanding.
You know what Wendy… we’ve moved on.
It was quite awkward… but you’ll have to watch it and judge for yourself.
In case you missed it, watch T.I. and Tiny’s interview + Wendy’s after show take on it below…

What’s your take on Tip and Tiny’s Wendy Show interview?
Was Wendy out of line or was Tip being a bit too sensitive?
T.I. was very guarded & was drinking that water like a whore in church!!!
He should have put a positive spin on the touchy topics instead of basically refusing to TALK!
Tip Shut It Dwn W One Word….Pause!
She/He is Wack!!
Fiddy was right. Tiny should have taken the rap. I’m beginning to think much of TIP’s downfall is the result of his relationship with Tiny. She is not strong enough to handle money, kids, marriage, AND fame all at the same time. She is weak sauce. T.I. could have done way better.
So let me ask, if that was your man and he wanted you to take the wrap, you would? He dumb to even asked, being that you all had kids, especially that young. A real man would never let his woman do that. She take care of home til he get home. And she doing a hell of a job, you such a fucking hater its pathetic
Wendy was being WENDY. She was being messy. Like the man said, he knows he messed up, and he’s taking the necessary precausions to NOT go back. Let the past die out. I’m sure he knows that he’s a felon, Wendy. Stop the bullshit!!
Wendy Williams is a dumb@zz..Dude was in the wrong, did his time, so lets move on… Other celebs do stuff and you never hear about again.. That shit is year ago. And fifty is a coward wanting his girl to take a charge while he’s out. Thats a bitch move. Man up!!!! Move on people!!!!!!!
I love wendy but t.i. Was not having that shit…. Good for him for keeping his cool cause the old tip would have went ham on her… Lol aoan tiny was about to spill her beans.
it was very awkward dont put ur business out there and go on TALK shows to promote it then dont wanna talk about it its called a TALK show for a reason ur suppose to talk
yes she was out of line, its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo OLD….LET THAT MAN MOVE ON AND LIVE HIS LIFE!!!
Wendy didn’t do nuthin wrong. She was doing her job. She aint gonna get used for free publicity w/o asking the question evrybody wanna know. And those who believe everything people say and do on TV need to be shamed.
I’m not a big fan of Wendy Williams but gossip and controversy is her trademark. TI and Tiny were only there to promote their (sic) reality TV show. Wendy does what Wendy does best…if those two morons can’t take the heat; stay out of the public.
Tip hushed his wife on national tv when she was bout to put it ALL out there…I know yall saw that elbow action lol!!!
Its a talk show. You go on to talk. I agree with Wendy’s assessment of his “trying to change NOW” (3arrests later) and though she IS messy, that is her thing and she was doing her job.
My how we act when the shoe is on the other foot. He just released comments about how OVERSENSITIVE gays act but look how he acts when his criminal past is brought up. I think he acts uber sensitive as a convicted felon I always have. When he kept releasing those letters from prison talking about his haters I thought he was too sensitive. And she’s right. You can’t have it both ways. His reality show is centered around his screw up and bouncing back. Wendy was only doing HER JOB. This lady talks about her previous drug habit numerous times ON HER SHOW. Are we surprised she brought his up? It is only a cut dry you did your time move on situation when you stay out the limelight and try to rebuild your family. But to base a reality show around it and get mad it was brought up? So is life. He’s a convicted felon and he will FOREVER be asked questions about him going to jail. I am all for him getting his life on track. But suck it up and address the situation in a positive light. Don’t want your business out their stay your behind off T.V.
Stay the fluck out of trouble. They are gonna wanna talk about those back to back stints. The price you pay for celebrity.
Remember he is still on probation. Yall trying to get that man back in jail by talking about a crime he served time for and posssibly incriminate his wife by talking about it. I feel him, IT’S OVER, watch the reality show.
WHATEVER TIP DID OR DIDN’T DO ON THE SHOW WHY DIDN’T WENDY CHECK HIS AZZ WHEN HE WAS RIGHT THERE INSTEAD OF GOING BILLY BAD AZZ NOW. SHE’S A BIG BULLY WHO JUST GOT SHUT DOWN!!! TALK THAT BS TO YOUR SEX HARASSING BEAT YOU DOWN HUSBAND B/C THE KANG WASN’T HAVING IT. YES ITS HER JOB TO ASK QUESTIONS BUT IT HOW YOU DO IT AND SHE WAS TOO AGGRESSIVE FROM THE JUMP. GOOD FOR TIP………JENNY JONES!!!
I wouldn’t particularly call that and Interview, it was more like a cross examination, by a woman that admits that she feeds into negativity. In her mind as she always states, that was suppose to be a 2 segment show, like Monica’s, but because TI was not trying to relive the past, shut her azz down. TI may be a felon, but he’s not your average felon. He still accomplished his mission (publicity)for his show, and book. Wendy is a bit salty because she got played, but when you dealing with TIP you better be on your "A game. He is the KING of the SOUTH. And dont forget about my girl Tiny, she was and still is a very successful young lady, that can and did handle being a Wife, Mother, business woman. Wendy does not get the luxury of placing judgement on people, based solely on how she feels people should live there lives. Judge not Wendy,that you be Judged with the same measure.
Kind of reminded me of how Whitney had to address Oprah when she asked her about Bobby..lol..u can ask all day..doesn’t mean u will get an answer! #movingon
Wendy was on point! I am sick and tired of these rappers in & out jail.
T.I. An @ss!… How Are Going To Ask To Come On The Show But Not Discuss Your Life?… Good, Bad Or Indifferent! Everytime Wendy Said “Prison” He Cringed!… He Never Had A Problem Confessing Before? Example: That TV Special He Had On MTV. I Mean Damn! I Was Uncomfortable Watching. The Show Was Supposed To Be 2 Segments (Like Monica’s Set) I Understand They Were Their To Try To Promote Their Show But They Also Couldn’t Talk Too Much About The Episodes. They Want You To Tune In! With That Much Time What Can You Talk About? He Was Defensive, Not Very Friendly, And Looked Uneasy & Uncomfortable. I Mean I Know How Wendell Can Be! But I’ve Seen Him Interact With Her Before, I Just Chalk It Up To Him Just Not Liking Her… Still Bad Interview
I xcan’t stand Wendy Williams! I have never liked her and this is from way back when she insulted Whitney Houston on the radio yrs ago pushing her buttons and making fun of her. I don’t blame T.I. he was there to promote his show and we all know that he went to jail while on probation and what he went for. That amazon was just being messy as she always has been. He showed her ass that I’m not saying ish watch my show if you want to know. I can’t understand how Monique’s show got canceled and Wendy’s is still on!
Martin Luther was a King. Mandela is a King. Dick riding will get u nowhere. Maybe that’s why Wendy is still on.
I dnt watch that thing’s show…waaay messy! People make mistakes. Pay their debt to society. Other’s keep their f~cking noses out of it! Besides, who wants people to keep bringing up your transgressions! God has already forgiven if we go to him with a humble and honest heart…so why can’t we!?
He’s a celebrity and he’s doing a reality show. People will always be up in his grill when he’s doing wrong or right. Nature of the game. It’s not like people don’t know what Wendy is about. She talks gossip and that’s why her show is popular. LOL. I aint mad at her.
Tip is controlling as hell & doesn’t want ppl to talk about the truth, he couldn’t stop drinking that damn water like he was very uncomfortable! Wendy called his ass out & he wouldn’t step up & Tiny didn’t open her mouth like she knew better! This dude is super controlling that is all!
I like the way Tip handled that interview……
Point blank. They booked them to promote the show. Guests, can tell their publicist to tell the person what to ask and not to ask. Wendy was being messy as usual
Well, i watched the before/after video.Tip knew wha could happen for when he asked to come on wendy’s show, booking nd prepping before the show didn’t mean anything, wendy keeps it real. Since my younger years i’ve been a supporter of his music but i don’t like this “politically correct” guarded act his publicist or team tells him to do. Just like the diddy incident at the club, and the 50 twitter incident , omm that’s good he’s trying to change but it seems fake (in my opinion). And like the above comment he shouldve let Tiny speak. I’ve done journalism and i understand Wendy side too u gotta give a lil insight on your story if you’re tryna promote the show. But newhoo i miss the old tip 4rm bankhead #ijs
He did the right thing ur not suposed to tell everything and wendy is messy lol
Tip did it right. Wendy is a hot mess!
I missed it ..Dang it
@ Allison – It’s on youtube.
Still don’t give a dank about any of them.
This couple is the "Saddest Couple" on the planet, he totally dominates her every move, this is why he "Married Tiny" she has very low "Self Esteem" and she let’s TI do whatever he wants to do, of course this is the white girl side of her because a "Real Sister" would drop that trifling nut like a "Hot Cake" regardless of how much money and fame he has.
I really love them as a couple! I don’t think Wendy was out of line, I mean that’s what she does. Have they never watched her show? I mean he’s trying to get back in the limelight after his ordeal, of course people are going to dwell on the past. The media loves drama. I like how he handled it respectfully though. And doesn’t T.I. look GREAT in that suit?
*swoons*
I watched it and enjoyed it. Wendy W. loves to insult people. T.I told her to watch the show and to move on. She could have engaged in something better, I think T.I was doing his best to keep that big Amazon off him and his wife. They are promoting their show and his book. I watch as she tried to talk to Ne-he Leakes about some of the messy things she has done, but she didn’t do Ne-he Leakes like she was doing T.I because she likes big he man Nene Leakes she even went as far as to say people are intimidated by them because they are big, black and ugly most people Ne-he fights with is black, so she just use that to make excuses for Ne-he…….I am glad he gracefully turned that negative stuff off she wanted to talk about. Poor Cynthia B., she attacked her and her husband. We all have opinions but to invite someone as a guest and spend most of the time talking bad about them and their spouse was classless. Teresa Giudice also shut her down, she talked bad about Teresa and then expected Teresa to appear on her show and attack her castmates. I loved how Teresa and T.I handled her. Wendy W need to have cosmetics surgery on that ugly animal looking face.
If he did not want the risk of being in that position he should not have agreed to do the show, period!
After all, it is that type of show!
It’s ok for him to go on the “other” shows and talk about it but not on her show. TI is full of it. He wants to promote a show that’s based off him going to prison and coming back home to his family. So what’s the problem?!? People know that Wendy is going to dig dip so why go on the show if you really don’t want to answer the questions? Oh I know, FREE PUBLICITY!
Pause! LOL
T.I. did good, the past is the past. He’s done his time lea e it alone and ask about the new stuff.
Tip handled it very professional becuz all that is the past forget who use to hold who down he’s the man…and money talks bs walks og iy doesnt make enought dollars makes no sense.
Oops and if it spell check!
I’M WITH WENDY, AND JUST LIKE SOME OTHER PPL SAID, YOU ARE ON A TALK SHOW! YOU ARE FAMOUS FOR WHAT,T.I?…OH YEAH, THE DRUG GAME, THAT’S HOW HIS CAREER STARTED, HE’S NEVER LEFT THAT LIFE ALONE COMPLETELY, AND OF COURSE ITS GOING TO BE BROUGHT UP WHEN YOU CONTINUALLY DO THE SAME B.S. REPEATEDLY IN THE PUBLIC EYE!!! HOW THE HELL CAN U SAY "WE’VE MOVED ON" WHEN YOUR NEW REALITY SHOW IS BASED ON YOUR LAST INCARCERATION AND HOW IT AFFECTED YOUR FAMILY??? FOLKS, STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR THESE FAMOUS REPEAT OFFENDERS AND FAME WHORES WHO DO THE DUMB ISH BUT WANNA CRY & COMPLAIN ABOUT IT AFTER THEY GET NEGATIVE PUBLIC RESPONSE
OH, I LOVED DEBORAH S.’s COMMENT:(drinking water like a whore in church),HAHAHA, HE CERTAINLY WAS VERY RIGID ON THAT COUCH, JUST LIKE THE LAST TIME HE WAS ON WENDY, BUT CHECK THIS,EVERYBODY IS NOT GONNA SUGARCOAT YOUR MESS BOY, WENDY HAS THE RIGHT TO PUT YOUR IG’NANT ISH ON BLAST , DON’T GET TIGHT, GET RIGHT!
They are all a mess. His past is not that far in the past. Maybe he doesn’t want to lie so he refuses to answer.
Wendy is messy. That’s it. He’s moved on, I’ve moved on, the world has moved on. And fifty really……he can have several seats
I felt like that was a chris brown interview. They do this stuff but dont want anyone to ask them about this stuff. So they need to deal with it. If they paying you to interview then expect to get questioned.
Why even go on the show if you are not willing to answer those questions
good job T.I. he shut her down as he should have…so glad that he responded th eway he did…i like wendy’s show (at times)…but she was trying to be nosey and persistent…
thats the same crap they did to chris brown
Wendy isnt the only one who’s going to ask these questions. Ask Chris he still has to deal with that incident. When you’re in the spotlight unfortunately it comes with it.
[...] Wendy Williams Grills T.I. And Tiny About Their Run Ins With The Law – StraightFromTheA [...]
I swear Tiny was ready to spill her guts….that’s why T.I. hit her with the "pause" and as far as him shutting Wendy down…..i think NOT! we already know why his dumb ass got locked up,AGAIN, she just wanted to see if he would be man enough to speak on it! and she had a excellent question…."why didn’t you do the drugs in your hotel?" HELLLLLOOOO!!!!
and i’m too mad he was sitting on a pillow and has those big ass bugs bunny teeth!
I’m 4 the way T.I. shut Wendy Williams down, ’cause I was lookin’ at him sideways 4 goin’ on her show anyway. She has a long history of doggin’ African-American celebrities and then actin’ like she don’t know why they won’t do her show. For instance, from what I read about her sayin’ about Serena Williams, I don’t see how her sister went on Wendy’s show. All money ain’t good money!!!She couldn’t wait to announce that Chris Brown had been arrested for the GMA incident. I heard her give no apology for it the next day although it was a lie. Chris Brown’s domestic violence incident happened when he was still a teen-ager.So if she wants to keep attackin’ a woman beater from what I read she has an older more experienced one in her own home.She just keeps goin’ after Chris Brown for sayin’ that he saw this man that looked like her. She herself has said people keep sayin that about her, so why wouldn’t this 22 yr. old?
I understand the host & show’s format, but I feel agreeing to go on the show doesn’t mean you’re compelled to answer every question.
Wendy invited the wrong guest to come at sideways. TI is a strong black man who has made mistakes, payed for them, is a family man and protects them at all costs. Wendy would of done better by sticking to talking about the sitcom. TI is way more intelligent than she thought. She should of listened to a few of his CD’S first, just to see how deep he is in the game of life. She made herself look Stupid. Much love to TI and Tiny.
[...] rumors that had him carrying weed in the NYC airport, and also mentioned he and wife Tiny’s awkward appearance on The Wendy Williams Show last [...]
first off the way he hit Wendy with that ‘pause’ was too cute., people have to understand they are a couple/family/people just like anyone else Just cuz they’re n the spot light dont mean they have to subject themselves to answering every [?] about their life, esp. when LIKe T.I. said, he has been vocal about what happened & its OVER., new topic…, & him not letting his wife answer that goofy ass question just proves that he’s a good man who wont take no bullshit interview! [in my eyes],. move on Wendy YOu were doing too much!
FIRST WHAT KIND OF DUDE IS 50 CENT TO SAY SOME PUNK S!$T LIKE THAT MAN WIFE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE CHARGE?? That would mean T.I. WOULD HAVE TO LET HER TAKE THE CHARGE. I APPLAUD TIP NOT FOR THE MISTAKES HE MADE BUT FOR TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS LIKE A MAN SHOULD!!! AS FOR WENDY I CAN RESPECT U FOR TRYING BUT U WAS WAY TO EXTRA! PLUS THE VIDEO U MADE AFTER THE SHOW WAS PROOF HE PLAYED U OUT OF POCKET!" BMORE LIKE US"
wendy your to old to be so ignorant no matter how intellectually literate you may think you are or sound, you sound and talk like a bitter fool ass-clown! so no matter what someone does wrong in there life when they realize its wrong no matter how old how long every second is a good time to repent and get your life together but you like to shit and regurgitate back on someone, if they are trying to clean up theyre live why are you yhrowing shit that you love to swim in on them. so, are you more happy about them being criminals or unproductive in society? would it make you feel better about the sorry way in which you live?
I cant stand Wendy. I think he handled his self really well with that racist chick. She another Oprah.
