Grammy-winning rapper T.I. is going to set the mood this holiday season by starring in a new animated special with his wife and their six children.
According to reports, Tip’s “T.I. and Tiny: Holiday Hustle Special” is slated to premiere around mid-December.
The Harris family is getting animated this Christmas. T.I. “Tip” Harris, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, and their six kids lend their voices to the hour-long animated adventure “T.I. and Tiny: Holiday Hustle Special.” When Santa goes missing, the family travels from Atlanta to the North Pole in hopes of saving Christmas. They encounter familiar faces like Jack Frost and Mrs. Claus on their journey, all while trying to keep the Christmas spirit alive. Will they find Santa before it’s too late? “T.I. and Tiny: Holiday Hustle Special” airs Tuesday, December 17, at 8 p.m. on VH1. (Rap-Up)
A few weeks after Tip’s special, Wu-Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah will join the reality television craze courtesy of VH1’s “Couples Therapy” premiere.
Ghostdini looks like he’s going through it on the recently released ‘Couple Therapy’ promo. He and his girlfriend, songwriter/model Kelsey Nykole, are seen arguing when Ghostface yells, “You’re not the only chick that I do that with.” Nykole then storms out saying, “OK, then f–this.” Of course, the trailer doesn’t reveal what’s the “that” Ghostface is referring to. Hopefully it’s not anything close to the situation he touches on in ‘Back Like That,’ which sounds a lot better in song than in reality. In another scene, Nykole is seen throwing her drink at a seated Ghostface, which is something the rapper is probably not going to take too kindly . The season premiere of ‘Couples Therapy’ is on Jan. 2 at 9 p.m. ET (The Boom Box)
Recently, New York rapper Uncle Murda a.k.a. UM spoke to SOHH about having an interest in doing reality television.
“Yeah, I check ’em out sometimes. I’m not gonna lie, I smoke a litle something and I might check them out,” Murda told SOHH, referring to reality television shows. “Sometimes they’re on and they’re entertaining. I would entertain one. If it was done the right way and I had a lot of control over the sh*t and I could bring certain things to the forefront, like, you know, not just p*ssy and d**k and it’s not just about feelings and emotions between females and n*ggas, I’d like to bring a little bit more reality to reality TV. That’s if I were to be given the opportunity. I like to show some of the real sh*t that’s going on too. Like some of the hood sh*t that’s not being paid attention to. I’d like to bring a whole lot of things to the reality sh*t.” (SOHH)
T.I’s protégé Young Dro also hit up SOHH and revealed if fans would ever spot him on a reality series.
“Everybody asked me if I would do reality television,” Dro told SOHH. “I don’t know. I just don’t want to say I want to be a reality star. I want to be a movie star. I read a lot. I coach a lot. But I really want to master the craft. I do know that whatever I do in life, I can do it if I put my mind to it and I can achieve it. I haven’t really thought about what I need to do for that [reality television] craft so that I can present myself out to the world and open up. Once I get a chance to do that, I’ll do so.” (SOHH)
