T.I And Tiny The Family Hustle Score A Huge Hit For VH1

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

UPDATE-Rapper T.I and Tiny scored a huge hit with the premiere of ‘T.I and Tiny: Family Hustle‘.

Last night T.I and Tiny hosted their close friends and family to the viewing of the back to back debut episodes of VH1’sReal Housewives star and former Xscape band mate Kandi Burruss attended as well as Tiny’s former ‘Tiny and Toya’ co-star Toya Carter Wright.

Prior to the premiere T.I told CNN that reality television is still something he’s getting used to.

“It’s less about the lives of people and more about the catastrophes within the lives of people. They just want that moment of drama and tragedy to exploit instead of really focusing on the foundational structure of the lives of people.”

So T.I and Tiny managed to settle on a deal with VH1 that will counter their usual formula. But what about the reality TV relationship curse? Tiny reveals,

“This was a conversation I had with him years ago and he was always against it,” she said. “We figured out a way to make it family oriented and not be a strain on our relationship, and so far so good.”

Let’s hope so. Watch the full episode of T.I and Tiny at CottenKandi.

Update: According the Hollywood Reporter: T.I and Tiny scored 2.8 million for the premiere with a total of 4.3 million combining the encore of 11pm. The second episode at 9:30 scored 3.1 with a total 4.5 million viewers combing the encore at 11:30pm! T.I has a huge hit on his hands!

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
