“I don’t ever want to have kids who don’t know their brothers and sisters,” the “Whatever You Like” rapper explained. “I want them all … knowing each other, living together.”

He added, “I’ll have as many [children] as the Lord blesses me with. So be it, as long as I have enough money to take care of them.”

Tiny started her family in March 1996 when she and Zonnie Pullins welcomed a baby girl named Zonnique.

Not only has the former Xscape member’s eldest child followed in her musical footsteps as a member of the OMG Girlz, but she also starred on “Growing Up Hip-Hop: Atlanta” from 2017 to 2018.

Zonnique was arrested in June 2016 after attempting to bring a .38-caliber semiautomatic pistol through airport security.

She avoided jail time by completing a gun law training class, paying a $500 fine and doing 60 hours of community service.

Zonnique made T.I., Tiny and Zonnie grandparents in December 2020 when she and Bandhunta Izzy welcomed daughter Hunter.

Tiny defended the pregnancy four months prior, telling Page Six, “Zonnique is a very well-rounded woman. She’s not ‘fast.’”

As for T.I., the Grammy winner became a dad when his then-girlfriend, Lashon Dixon, gave birth to son Messiah in February 2000.

T.I.’s eldest son is a country singer who began performing as Buddy Red in November 2022. His first single, “You Know,” was released the following year.

Messiah has also pursued acting, with roles in “The Products of the American Ghetto” and “Sons 2 the Grave.”

T.I. and Dixon’s second son, Domani, was born in March 2001.

Domani raps like his father, telling XXL in April 2023 that he was inspired by watching T.I. in the studio over the years.

“When it finally got out, seeing how the people took it, how it affected the world, I fell in love with it,” the “I Did It” rapper recalled. “I realized my voice could travel so far.”

Domani has not appeared on his family’s show since 2020 to focus on his career, with T.I. saying on the “Big Facts” podcast that his son was offered $85,000 to be in the background.

“I wouldn’t have let no money slide by, but I get it,” T.I. noted at the time. “He [is] real adamant about making his own path.

“He has a keen intent to separate his legacy from my legacy.”

Deyjah Imani Harris

Three months after Domani’s arrival, T.I. and Ranniqua Brannum welcomed daughter Deyjah in June 2001.

Following brief appearances on her family’s reality show, Deyjah made headlines in November 2019 when her dad spoke about “check[ing] her hymen” with annual trips to the gynecologist.

“I’m like, ‘Deyjah, they want you to sign this so we can share information. Is there anything you would not want me to know?’” T.I. told “Ladies Like Us” podcast listeners at the time. “‘See, Doc? Ain’t no problem.’”

Deyjah teared up while addressing the “traumatizing situation” on “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” the following year.

“I’m embarrassed, definitely, for sure,” she said. “I’m trying to put it in the back of my mind so I’m not really thinking about it. I know it’s not healthy. But I’ve been doing that since I was a child.”

Although T.I. issued a public apology on “Red Table Talk,” Deyjah unfollowed him on Instagram at the time.

Clifford “King” Joseph Harris III

T.I. and Tiny’s first child together, son Clifford, was born in August 2004 and goes by the nickname King.

Like many of his siblings, King is a rapper who performs under the stage name Kid Saiyan. His first album, “Wild Rock$tar$,” was released in 2021.

The songwriter has also made headlines for multiple physical altercations over the years, from a bathroom brawl in 2022 to a near-fight with T.I. the following year.

The father-son duo got into a screaming match at Georgia’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium in November 2023 after T.I. said the teenager grew up with a “silver spoon” in his mouth.

After King argued that his father was “lying” on Instagram Live, the American Music Award winner told his son to stop “embarrassing” their family and put him in a headlock.

When King told his followers the previous year that he had spent time behind bars — but did not elaborate further — T.I. called King “a good kid chasing after the wrong s–t.”

Major Philant Harris

The couple’s baby boy grew up in front of the cameras, as T.I. and Tiny launched their reality TV career in 2009 and maintained shows on and off until 2021.

When Major attended homecoming with his girlfriend in 2022, T.I. gushed via Instagram over his “grown up” son, writing, “Maaaaaan how the time flies.”
