R&B veteran Tameka “Tiny” Cottle is speaking out. The curvy crooner has come forward to address recent controversy involving a past clip surfacing of her and her husband T.I.‘s rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. dancing together.
Tiny went to Facebook last night (December 4) to defend her image amid media bashing.
A few days ago, T.I. and Floyd appeared to take shots at one another online.
Back in March 2015, T.I. admitted his problems with Floyd dated back past a May 2014 altercation.
“There was history. There was definitely history,” Tip said in an interview. “I don’t care what you do to whoever else. I don’t care who you speak to, how you speak to them. You dealing with me you gonna deal with me like a man. I feel like my steps are guided, man. I’m a man of God. When I step I ain’t got nobody to fear, but God himself. I don’t got no fire I can’t walk through. I done been through it all.” (Hot 97)
Tip initially relied on his Instagram page to dismiss reports of enduring physical harm to his face when a 2014 Mayweather fight story first broke out.
“They said I’ve got two black eyes. Where they at, though? These ones I’m looking at? Is they black for real? D*mn, been like that all my life. F*cked my hand up. That’s about it. [laughs],” Tip said in a video followed by the caption “Two black what?????? C’mon now. Never in da history of Nigga-dom. But nice try tho. Lol” (T.I.’s Instagram)
Following the controversy, Mayweather admitted a photo of himself alongside Tip’s wife Tiny most likely sparked the May 25, 2014 confrontation.
“I’m eating at Fatburger and next thing you know, he walk in talking about we need to talk again. And then I told him, “You need to get the f-ck outta my face. That’s what you better do.” And then he said, “I ain’t talking to all these people so you ain’t gotta talk loud.” I said, “Listen, don’t come to my face with no disrespectful sh-t. Like I told you before, you must’ve forgot what I did for a living.” He said, “You do in the ring, I do it in the streets.” I said, “My man, I do it everywhere. You can find out if you want to.” Just like that. … Then a couple of words exchange and people got to pushing and a riot kinda broke out. And then a bunch of chaos and that was basically it. Because, like I said before, he probably does some foolish things, but he ain’t no damn fool to swing on me.” (Necole Bitchie)
