wow, if this is true it’s horrible timing. wasn’t t.i. just arrested for trying to buy illegal machine guns from an undercover cop? i can’t even imagine being in her shoes right now.

Wouldn’t this make T.I.’s sixth child?

I didn’t even know that they were back together lol.

Good luck to them if they are expecting

Anything to keep him out of jail right?

- Danielle on October 17th, 2007

Yes..It looks like this is his sixth child.

- Robyn on October 18th, 2007

Yeah he was denied bail on Monday I think and now he’s going back to court on Friday.

Sixth child? But it only lists two children of his in this article (the two he’s had with Tiny), plus his step-daughter. Where are the other 4 children, then?

- Annoyomus on October 18th, 2007

Yes, it would be his sixth child if you count Tiny’s daughter Zonnique. He has three other children: Messiah, Demani, and Deyjah. They have Clifford together and of course little Llayah who didn’t make it.

rite now i think the most important thing is T.I. and preparing for the most important time in his life. how many kids he has is nobody business especially if u dont have to take care any of them.pcoffie

I’m sorry Kim but I find your comment incredibly insensitive.

I am sure that if anyone asked Tiny she would tell you it will be her fourth child.

Still births are on an entirely different level to miscarraiges. Tiny birthed her baby.

I’m sorry but you must just have no idea. If you can bear it, I suggest you look up an organisation called “Missing Angels”. The stories of families who have experienced still birth are heartbreaking.

I can’t find the words to the poem I think best describes it but I think it is called ‘Don’t say I’m not a mother’ but here’s a poem I do have.

“An Angel Never Dies.

Don’t let them say I wasn’t born,
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I’ve loved you from the start.

Although my body you can’t hold
It doesn’t mean I’m gone
This world was worthy, not of me
God chose that I move on.

I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face
You have my word, I’ll fill your arms,
Someday we will embrace.

You’ll hear that it was meant to be,
God doesn’t make mistakes
But that won’t soften your worst blow,
Or make your heart not ache.

I’m watching over all you do,
Another child you’ll bear
Believe me when I say to you,
That I am always there.

There will come a time, I promise you,
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips
And then you’ll understand.

Although I’ve never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes
That doesn’t mean I never was,
An Angel never dies.”

Sorry for the long post.

I feel really happy for them!
Regardless of the whole T.I arrest situation, i’m sure they are over the moon. It must be so painful to lose a child and i’m so happy they havn’t grown apart because of it.
That said it amazes me how on/off they are! I guess some people never fall out of love!

- Tara on January 4th, 2008

I agree with Belle, Kim’s statement was extremely insensitive. Losing a child at any part of a pregnancy can be devastating to many women. Losing after 20 weeks can be even more so.

How a woman feels about the loss and if she considers the loss to be of a pregnancy or a baby is totally and completely up to her and no one else. You do not have a right to make that judgment.

I lost a pregnancy at 10 weeks along and I consider it a pregnancy loss. However I have known others who have lost at only 8 weeks and to them they lost a baby. I respect their right to grieve as they wish.

- finnaryn on January 4th, 2008

I don’t think Kim meant to be insensitive. Of course the child that Tiny gave birth to was their baby girl. I think she was just clarifying the number of children that they have now.

- terri on January 4th, 2008

i don’t like them two

- Krystal on March 8th, 2008

Why is he making so many kids, but can’t stay out of jail??
