Rapper T.I & wife Tiny confirms their split

Atlanta power couple Clifford “T.I.” Harris and wife of 4 years, former Xscape singer Tameka “Tiny” Harris? T.I yesterday dropped a big hint that he and Tiny are done.
In a cyrptic post on his Instagram page, T.I. said his life has gone through a major change and that the only thing that matters to him are God, his children and his record label. No mention of Tiny. See his post and a report confirming their split

Tiny posted a pic of her own on Instagram…

Here's a report from SandraRose.com confirming their split
The couple reportedly split on on Saturday shortly after arriving in Los Angeles to attend the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, according to my source.
T.I. was so distraught by the break up that he canceled his appearance on Sunday night’s live telecast of The Grammys where he was nominated for 3 awards.This is very sad news for fans of both T.I. and Tiny. It is unclear how the break up will affect T.I. and Tiny’s popular reality TV series on VH1.All couples experience ups and downs during the course of their relationships. In Tiny and T.I.’s case, the pressures were unrelenting. For instance, there are rumors that T.I. recently violated Tiny’s trust by sleeping with one of her female friends. But that’s nothing new.Another rumor has it that T.I. refused to support Tiny’s new business venture, a line of tequila, because he feels it sends the wrong message to their young fans. T.I. and Tiny have 2 sons together. T.I. also has 3 children with other women, and Tiny has a daughter from a previous relationship.

Many people felt Kendrick should have won Best Rap Album at least and so did Macklemore. After the awards, he apologized to Kendrick for 'robbing' him.
