Rappers' Women Finally Speaking Up
Rapper T.I.'s fiancee, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, and rapper Lil' Wayne's ex-wife, Antonia "Toya" Carter, are uniting for their own show, called "Tiny & Toya." "Tiny & Toya," which is a half-hour eight-episode series, looks at the lives of these two women. The point of the reality show is to "define themselves professionally as individuals outside of their high-profile relationships," according to MSNBC.
Cottle wants to start her own career while balancing her husband's imprisonment and raising five children. Carter is trying to live her own life after a rough divorce from rapper Lil' Wayne. "We're trying to create our own identity," says Carter. "We're letting people know what we're really all about. We're trying to get our businesses up and running and just having fun the way we live life for ourselves."
"Toya & Tiny" is supposed to air on BET on June 30.
