T.I.'s Partner and Lil Wayne's Ex to Star in Reality Series

Cashing in on their spouses' fame, Tameka Cottle aka Tiny and Antonia Carter aka Toya have signed a deal with BET for its new reality show, "Tiny & Toya". The 30-minute episode will premiere on June 30 at 10 P.M., with a preview being given on June 28 after BET Awards.

Tiny is the long-time partner of rapper T.I. who bears his two sons and one still-born daughter. Toya meanwhile, is the ex-wife of Lil Wayne who mothers the rapper's eldest offspring, Reginae Carter. The show will follow these two women, who happen to be best friends, in defining their purpose and building brighter future for themselves outside the shadow of their men.

In its announcement, the network said that Tiny and Toya will strive "to find inner-strength, peace and purpose." Toya explained further, telling S2S magazine, "We do a little shopping, but that's not what it's all about. It's just about things that we're trying to accomplish on our own, like just us being parents, good friends."

When asked whether she would feel intimidated by Tiny's higher profile, Toya tackled, "People ask me all the time, 'How it feel going out with Tiny? She gets so much attention.' You gotta understand Tiny was a singer. She got her own fans and the people that know her through Tip, so why would I be mad for that? That's my girl."

According to AllHipHop, Tiny's ex-bandmate in Xscape, Kandi, was supposed to be on the show but she let it go to enroll in "The Real Housewives of Atlanta".
