T.I.'s Wife, Tiny, Addresses Martial Issues, Avoids Wearing Wedding Ring (VIDEO)

The Real Reason Why Tiny Isn't Wearing Her Wedding Ring
|

Earlier this year reports surfaced regarding friction within the Harris household following a “big argument” involving rapper Clifford “T.I.” Harris and singer Tameka "Tiny" Harris. And as previously reported, the Grammy Award winner later dispelled rumors that the couple were headed towards splitsville.

This week Tiny appeared on an episode of “The Wendy Williams Show” where she shared her two cents on the chatter, in addition to the singer’s reaction to T.I. criticizing her for posting “booty” photos via Instagram.

“I don’t know why he addressed it on the social media. I guess he just wanted to let me know he was looking at it. But at the same time I’m like, ‘Why this picture,’ because it’s really a side view. I was really trying to show off my waist, that’s why my shirt is up…”

While the couple have both admitted that divorce is not imminent, Wendy noticed the glaring absence of Harris’ ring, as she explained.

“We had a couple of fights, and we were arguing. We argue all the time, though. But we had this one big fallout about the Grammys and it just lingered on and got bigger..but no, we’re still together. There’s no divorce.”

Check out Tiny’s explanation of why she has chosen not to wear her wedding ring in the clip above.

I've already been Kimora Lee Simmons for 10 years. I don't know. Would you ask Ivana Trump that? When it comes to my brand, My brand is KLS (Kimora Lee Simmons). It would be hard to change it to KLH... I think professionally, the name remains the same, but in my personal life I am definitely a Hounsou...Russell doesn't care.
