Tameka ?Tiny? Cottle-Harris hit up the Rickey Smiley radio show last week to explain the incident that got her hubby, rapper T.I. in trouble with his jailers.

As you know, Tip was confined to a ?special housing unit? last weekend after a visit from his new wife. Tiny, 35, confirmed to TMZ that the two were in a room together during regular visiting hours on Sunday (Jan. 2) when she ?made like Michael Jackson ? and beat it.?

When she was asked to confirm what happened, Tiny admitted to The Rickey Smiley Morning Show that Tip got in trouble only because her hands weren’t in plain sight:

It was just… it was just… they just couldn’t see it.

Inmates are allowed to kiss and embrace at the beginning and at the end of each visit as well as hold hands, but ?the inmate?s hands must remain in plain view of Visiting Room staff at all times.?

According to Tiny, T.I., 30, was reprimanded after the incident and sent to a ?Special Housing Unit,? which consists of more security and less freedom. His liberal access to the prison phones and email were also cut off.

Tiny says she hasn?t heard from her man since last Sunday, and she’s not sure when she will be allowed to visit him again.

Now I swear every time I see those two together in the future umma wonder what Tiny’s doing under the table…

You betta work that right hand T… I mean Mrs. Harris! 😆
