As the father of four children, Messiah Ya Majesty, Domani Uriah, Dejan Iman, and King C'Andre, T.I. has recognized that he does not see as much of them as he would like. "I might not have much time to spend with them now," he told the America's Intelligence Wire, "but later on I might be rich beyond my wildest dreams, never have to work and be able to be there every day of the week. I'm investing this time right now and it will pay off later."
Before he's a rapper, actor or business man, T.I. is a family man. "God, family, hustle… in that order," T.I. proclaimed on the first episode of "T.I. & Tiny: The Familly Hustle," his show with wife Tameka "Tiny " Cottle. "People assume my life to be a certain way because I've gone through certain things but they don't recognize that I'm still a man. I still have a family. I'm still very much a family man," he said.
In the final installment of our interview with him, T.I. tells The Juice that he is flexing his production skills for the OMG Girlz and mentoring his son, rising rapper, Domani.
T.I. wanted to become the "King of the South" in rap music. He was thrilled to have an album released, but disappointed in the sales of only 150,000 copies. He left Ghet-O-Vision and Arista Records and started his own company, Grand Hustle Entertainment. In 2003 he coordinated a deal with Atlantic Records to distribute Grand Hustle Entertainment artists.
