This year Grand Hustle’s brunch was a bit different.
With his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris by his side the entire weekend, Tip hosted a slew of parties virtually drama free and stacked quite a bit of cash.
As you know he’d been released from federal custody just days before, so this year’s Brunch was treated as a celebratory “coming home” of sorts.
Only a few days free, Tip had already conducted a few interviews, dropped a new song, hit the stage during the BET Hip Hop Awards (sneak peek video) alongside Jeezy and pocketed a ton of dough hosting parties.

There were plenty of supporters in the house for T.I., including Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Real “Housewife”/Attorney Phaedra Parks and her hubby Apollo Nida, Nelly, Antonia “Toya” Wright, Dj Toomp, Heavy D, Rocko, and the list goes on.
Noticeably absent from the event was Sean “Diddy” Combs, who’s Ciroc branded vodka was one of the event’s sponsors. I’m assuming he was still a bit salty after Tip issued that verbal smack down at the club the night before… but I’m sure he’ll get over it one day.
