Rapper T.I.'s wife Tameka "Tiny" Harris accused him of cheating on her as the dynamic of their marriage changed after her husband got out of prison. She said that since she had found "a voice that was not so timid", he had an extramarital affair with another woman who followed his orders.
T.I. served jail time in 2009 following gun charges and again between 2010 and 2011 following an arrest on drug charges. In part two of the couple's Red Table Talk interview with Jada Pinkett Smith, the former Xscape member said that her relationship with her husband went through a transformation after he returned from prison.
"Once I got on my own two feet, I felt like I should have a voice too. And that voice, was a little different than what he was used to. So that, to me, is what caused the issue," Tiny explained during the interview.
"I feel like he felt like, 'Mm. This is not the woman I love and this is not what I want. I want somebody that if I tell her this, she's gonna listen, and she's gonna do this the way I want her to do it'," she shared.
When she said that in her opinion she was not "being outlandishly disrespectful", T.I. tried to butt in on her confession during the interview with "wait a minute!", but she was having none of it. She continued with her story, making it clear to her husband that she was not done talking.
And then came the bombshell revelation. "And that's where he went… he went and found somebody that he can be like, 'Hey don't move… do this, do that'… I was not, you know what I'm saying, her," she said.
At that point, T.I. interjected with "excuse me", clearly ready to recount his side of the story. "So when I got back the world was upside down. She kinda had an air like, 'It's my time'. I thought we were going to hit the ground running and get back to things being the way they were," he said.
Tiny added: "That was an acclimation period that I had to make it through. Me just coming back and not being in the position that I was in, it left me feeling lesser than, so I had to figure out ways to make myself feel proper and adequate again'. And that led to things that led to things that led to things."
