Atlanta-based BET�s �Tiny & Toya� has been an immediate hit for the network. In an interview Tameka �Tiny� Cottle, (T.I.�s fiance) and Antonia �Toya� Carter, Lil Wayne�s ex, both came across as grounded women. The first episode showed two women struggling with issues such as how to deal with a man going to jail, how to handle a mom who has drug problems and how to break out from the shadows of two famous stars.
As co-executive producers, both women had a say over what footage they didn�t want on the air.
Neither rap stars T.I. nor Lil Wayne were too happy with the women doing a show, the two confirmed.
T.I., now in prison for weapons charges for a year, has been with Tiny for years. T.I., she said, didn�t want Tiny to work and protested the reality show. In the end, she said, �he kind of gave in.�
What was T.I.�s reaction when he saw it last week while in prison? �For the most part,� Tiny said, �he thought it was done tastefully. He might say something here and there to show he didn�t want me to do it. But overall, he thought it was a great show.�
