T.I. and girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle welcomed a baby boy named Major Harris just last week Friday. The rapper and dad of six tells MTV.COM that he was there every step of the way for the birth of his sixth child and that reports saying that his child weighed 5 pounds 15 ounces were false:
“[Reports] said he was 5 pounds and 15 ounces,” Tip said of his newborn. “That was wrong. He was actually 7 pounds and 4 ounces. I was in the O.R. Hands-on. I was trying to help. … Tiny
’s all right. She’s a soldier.”
Unlike some dads, proud papa Tip wasn’t squeamish about seeing the wonder of his sixth child’s birth:
“When you’ve seen far more gruesome scenes for far less worthy reasons, you’ll be all right.”
T.I. admits that he and Tiny did have some trepidation during her pregnancy. Last year, the couple suffered the loss of a baby girl when the infant died at birth:
“It was a major concern, but I had to walk in faith,” Tip said. “Before it happens to you as a parent, it’s never anything that you’d even consider. The possibility of your baby not making it never even crosses your mind until it happens. Once it happens, it’s a constant concern. I just prayed on it and left it in the hands of the Lord. … I was fearful. I had some worthy concerns. But like I said, I had to walk in faith. Everything’s great. He’s great.”
During Tip’s time under house arrest due to weapons charges, he got a chance to bond with his other five children like never before:
“I was the babysitter,” he said with a huge grin. “You always know it’s somebody there now. The kids know they couldn’t get away with nothing. I spent more time with them than I did since before anyone knew who T.I. was. I appreciate it. I value that time I got to spend with them.”
But don’t think T.I. took on the Mr. Mom role without any swagger. He cooked but didn’t wear an apron:
“I got a Louis Vuitton robe, my therapeutic slippers,” he said. “I was vacuuming, cleaning up. I wasn’t washing no dishes. That’s where I draw the line.”

Kenya are you joking? As much as he is in and out of jail like he don’t got kids?! It’s nice he sounds proud and blah blah blah but try acting responsible.

I’m proud to see a African American male stand up and take care of his children. I love to see that. Its a wonder thing when a man is so proud of his children. But its a shame when it takes some negative to make a person see how much they love their family.
But T.I is an amazing father.

Hmmmm I knew that girl had a lil baby when my lil niece was born last year or so. The nurse leaked the info but I didn’t know that the baby died. I know all too well how it is to deal with something like that. I saw Tiny in Cumberland shopping for damn shoes, BIGGG as hell. She had to be no less the 8 months preggo then. Sweet cuz I just had my lil man a couple months prior to. Good to be and stay encouraged
