As a rapper, we know TI’s been delivering great tunes to our ears.  As a businessman, TI has given us his fantastic range of AKOO Clothing and added options for our swagger choice.  But as a philanthropist, he’s also done some fantastic stuff.  Recently TI created an event called Camp K.I.N.G to empower and uplift urban youth. The summer camp was dedicated to mold youngsters into future leaders. Upon completion of the camp’s programs, the young attendees was awarded a certificate and… a laptop each.

TI stressed that the laptops are not gifts, they’re rewards of the attendees’ hard work and reminded them how important it is to maintain a positive work ethic throughout their life. TI stated:

“The work that you do right now, the results aren’t always seen immediately, but it will pay off in the end.”

Here’s Tip’s speech to the young audience:

Although the pictures of his wedding invitation has spread throughout the internet, TI’s camp is still tight-lipped when it comes to his wedding with Tiny.  The couple has been dating for a LONG time now and everybody expects them to tie the knot as soon as possible.  Last week, TI, Tiny and a bunch of their family and friends went on a pre-wedding getaway to Hawaii, and although everybody tweeted about the trip… but nobody spilled no beans about no wedding.  Amazing.

In a recent interview with MyFoxAtlanta, TI remained secretive about his upcoming nuptials. The rapper tries to end speculations and answers questions with vague answers.

We get it, Tip. You want privacy. We get it

Just yesterday we reported the possibility of TI and Tiny’s upcoming wedding in Hawaii, but today we got word that the couple is actually having a pre-wedding family trip to Hawaii before heading on to Miami to proceed with the nuptials. TheYBF.com reported that TI and Tiny’s wedding will be attended by close friends and family and will be a super-intimate affair. And we finally got the date: July 31st, 2010 (read: next week).

Still think this is just a hearsay? Well look at this pic of the wedding invitation:

Looks like Monica who spilled some beans of the wedding not too long ago was right about the platinum and black theme for the big event.

We’ll update with more details!

If you’ve been waiting for TI and Keri Hilson’s newest video: “I Got Your Back”, it dropped this morning and here it is fresh from the oven:

Gorgeous!

The song is said to be Tip’s real feelings for Tiny, and rumored to be the song for their nuptials.  If here’s some of the lyric from verse 2 if you want to sing along (and/or pretend TI says them to you LOL):

This is for the women who man caught a sentence
Who gon be there for a minute but they didn’t keep their distance
They stayed home waiting on the phone
And on visit day show up looking good smelling better, playing kissy face
Just wanna let you know we appreciate
Everything you do for us on a day to day
And I know we don’t show you all the time but we lucky that you ours
No bouquet of flowers could ever show how much we know we need you
We do all thats in our power just to please you
See boo, f-ck them girls I would leave the World ‘fore I leave you
May God say even now

Sweet sound, sweet video, sweet words. ‘Nuff said.

One of the most anticipated music videos of the season: “Fancy” by Drake, is on its way to your TV screens, ladies, and why are we addressing the women? Because it will feature Drake, TI and Swizz Beatz. Talk about triple hotness in one go. TI confirmed that the video is indeed intended for the ladies:

“It’s a dedication to the ladies who take pride in being the flyest and finest that there are out there to be noticed.”

TI spoke highly of his collaboration with Drake and Swizz Beatz to MTV News:

“I was offered the opportunity and given the pleasure to be a part of this monstrosity of a record by young Drizzy and my big homie O.G., player, partner Swizz Bizzy. I’m honored, privileged and absolutely pleased to be a part of this extravaganza that you are witnessing before you here today.”

In the production process, TI was accompanied by Tiny and his kids. That’s one heck of a strong support. We can’t wait to see the result, but meanwhile, here’s a look at what happened behind-the-scenes. Expect to see a great video!

Gossip sites all over the internet are buzzing about the speculations of TI and Tiny’s upcoming nuptials.  The couple and their families are spending this weekend in Hawaii, along with some of their closest friends.  Tiny’s daughter, Zonnique, tweeted the ‘vacation’, but left out the details of her mom and Tip’s activities.

There’s no details when or where the exact place of the nuptials, but people are seemingly sure enough about this event.  TI has been dating Tiny a long time and their relationship is always out in the open, so we guess they deserve the privacy.  However, if you’re not getting married like TI and just want to hang out on the beach this summer, then these AKOO getups are for you.

AKOO Central Polo, was $70.00, now $49.99

AKOO The Bronner tee, was $28, now $24.99

TI was spotted in NYC last week, after a rumored meeting with publishers.  Is Tip writing a book?  We’ll have to wait for more details on this.  But we don’t really have to wait to steal his style, because from the looks of it, TI might be wearing last season’s AKOO Snobby tee.  And it looks fine on him, combined with that pair of Louis Vuitton kicks.

However if you want to get a more summery look from AKOO while still having the TI swagger, this AKOO Hideout tee is a great options.  Available in three colorways, the AKOO Hideout tee is certainly a must-have this season.

AKOO Hideout Tee, $28

And although TI’s denims looked great on him, here’s an alternative for this summer’s wear.

AKOO Calm Forest Shorts, $64

But TI isn’t always about work.  He also took the time to throw his fiancee, Tiny, a birthday bash at the Havana Club a few days prior.

The couple is rumored to be getting married at a secluded island soon.  No further details released about this, but it’s happening, folks.

TI posed with his Remy Martin cognac.  Looks like he’s taken his new role at the company really seriously.  Tiny looked cute too with the red jeans.  We’re so happy to see the lovebirds!

Brace yourself for yet another version of the Takers movie starring TI and a bunch of other superstars such as Idris Elba, Matt Dillon, Paul Walker, Jay Hernandez, Michael Ealy, Hayden Christensen and Chris Brown.  It’s said that this poster will be the international edition that will be used to promote the movie abroad.  And guess what… Chris Brown is out of the equation again.  Talk about weird.

Chris Brown might be in and out the Takers movie poster, but TI makes sure that the young singer gets his air time. The King of the South himself endorsed Brown’s work:

“Chris was cool, man. I think Chris gonna impress a lot of people. He does a lot of high performance, action sequences. He shows his ability. I think people will actually be pleasantly surprised with his performance.”

There’s no wonder that Tip is so excited for Brown’s work. The two were involved in a collaboration, recording some tracks prior to Tip’s jail time. Looks like we have something to wait for.

Takers will premier August 27th, 2010.

When you’re as high profile as Clifford Harris, a.k.a. TI, chances are you won’t take advice from anybody.  That’s why we think TI is one of a kind. Ever wonder how he keeps so quiet whenever asked about his upcoming wedding to his fiancee, Tiny? Turns out that Tip keeps a cool attitude towards it, based on an advice by a legend. He told Power 106 that legendary singer, Diana Ross, helped him to always remember that some things in life should be kept private:

“Why offer people the opportunity to have an opinion about something they shouldn’t have an opinion about? One thing Diana Ross told me, she said, ‘You’ve got to keep something to yourself.’ I just feel like that’s something private, that’s between us.”

That’s the thing, the King should take an advice from a Queen, and TI did it well. However, his mouth might be sealed, but his fiancee just confirmed that her and TI’s wedding will surely happen… before this year ends.

Wonder where Tiny has been taking her advice from. LOL!
