Essence Magazine recently sat down for an exclusive interview with T.I.’s fiancée, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle.

ESSENCE.COM: (Laughs.) Awesome. Is it tough being engaged to a sex-symbol rapper?
TINY: No, because I’m used to having fans myself, so I already knew what it was going to be like having been in the music business and having been around other successful men and watching what they would go through. A lot of [women] love to hate me because I’m with him, but it’s not like I meet these people when we’re out together. They know his public image, but I know him as a great father and provider who is caring, sweet and attentive to his family.
