Former Xscape singer Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and Lil’ Wayne’s ex-wife Antonia “Toya” Carter are set to star in a new BET reality series, the network announced this week.
Tiny and Toya will chronicle the two women defining their purpose and building a brighter future for themselves. Based in Atlanta, the new show follows the lives of these two young women, who in addition to co-parenting two of Hip-Hop’s biggest stars, also happen to be best friends.
Tiny and Toya will follow the two as they strive “to find inner-strength, peace and purpose,” a description of the show says. Both women are also seeking to be defined outside of the shadow of the men in their lives.
Tiny is known for her ongoing long-term relationship with rapper T.I. The pair have two sons together, the oldest of which is now four. The couple made headlines yesterday (May 27) when, on the day after T.I. started his jail sentence on federal gun charges, a source close to the family announced that they were in fact married.
However, today (May 28), T.I.’s publicist Sydney Margetson dismissed the reports as “absolutely not true.” Toya Carter is the mother of Lil’ Wayne’s eldest Reginae Carter.
