T.I. on how to truly honor one’s wife and children.
See what had happened was….that on Friday (Feb. 14), the FINE
Station 19 actor and wife
Nicole Ari Parker were guest son the rapper and his wife
Tiny’s podcast “Expeditiously” for a special Valentine’s Day episode. During the sit-down, T.I. who has a rich history of infidelity and admitting that he goes to his eldest daughter’s gyno appointments to make sure she is still a virgin, asked the

Kodjoe not even taking a breath was clear: “I don’t think there’s a lot of major dirt, but we’re also private and we respect each other enough where I would never want to embarrass myself or her or the kids or anybody.”
Welp!
On how they stay together so long, Kodjoe said it’s “not easy” but is about making the right choices.”
“I always say, life’s not easy but it’s simple. And what I mean—I tell my kids that all the time. If you make some right choices, life can be very simple. There might be challenges that might come up, that you’re not in control of—which is the not easy part. But if you have a solid constitution of values and principles you can get over those challenges,” he stressed.
Adding, “And in a relationship, I think it’s the same thing. When you are willing to give the other person the space to mess up cuz we all human. You have to be willing to give your partner a chance to f*ck up royally and not run for the hills. But to stick it out, grow through the process, with your partner as well as individually and you come out of the other end a better human.”
Y’all know this went so over T.I.’s head. All he could do was joke, “You making all of us look bad.”
