Tameka “Tiny” Cottle has been holding down rapper TI for almost a decade – and now it’s about to pay off. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that she and TI are secretly planning to get married.

A person close to both Tiny and TI told MediaTakeOut.com that the two have been “thinking about” getting married – and now they’re ready. The insider explains, “They’re having a small intimate ceremony … it will be private and it will happen before TI [enters prison on May 19].”
