In 2001, Tip Harris released his first solo album, I'm Serious, which didn't bring the rapper any success. Two years later, he was noticed by the Atlantic Records label and founded his own label called Grand Hustle records. That same year he released the second album, which was much more successful than the first one. In addition to releasing extremely successful tracks and receiving Grammy Awards, the music performer is also involved in charity and helps single parents with scholarships for their kids. The reality show where all his large family is included brought him even more fame.

His father, Clifford, wasn't present much in his son's life. He lived in New York, and Harris visited him whenever he had a chance. Clifford had Alzheimer's and passed away. His mother, Violeta, also wasn't the main person raising him. Tip was brought up by maternal grandparents. He shared a special tight bond with grandpa Robert and grandma Willie. It was his grandfather that called him Tip. Now fans want to know, how is T.I.'s relationship with his seven children? Here are all the details.

7 Zonnique Pullins

Zonnique is the only stepdaughter of the rapper. She is also a music performer known as Miss Star. Recently, Zonnique opened up about her latest surgery that affects her appearance and that she seemingly regrets. During an Instagram Live, she discussed her botched nose job. The 25-year-old leaned more into the camera, placing her fingertip on her nose, and revealed, "I just got it done by this doctor here. Maybe I shouldn't have gone." On the other hand, T.I. and Zonnique have always had a close relationship since she was a child. In an interview with Bossip, Zonnique revealed that she loves all her family members, although they are not perfect.

6 Messiah Harris

Before getting married, T.I. had a couple of serious, long-lasting relationships. The first one was with LaShon Dixon, which lasted six years, from 1995 until 2001. The ex-couple had two kids together during these years: Messiah and Domani. The first one was born in 2000 and is recognized because he participated in the family show. In 2020, T.I. sent a heartfelt message to Messiah to wish him a happy 19th birthday. He wrote, "I was selling crack on S.Grand ave off Bankhead when your mom told me she was pregnant with you. I was signed, working on my first album, on my way to greatness by the time you were born. I accredit you for changing my life, son…and for that… I THANK YOU!!!"

5 Domani Harris

The second son with LaShon Dixon, Domani, is also known due to the TV show. Furthermore, he has an Instagram account that is very popular. T.I. is disappointed that Domani has refused to appear on his VH1 reality TV show The Family Hustle. Domani decided to take a different path to stardom because he no longer wants to be associated with the show or his dad. The 20-year-old left $85,000 on the table. Even with production offering to limit his camera time, Domani declined to participate in the reality show. Since then, his relationship with T.I. has been a little tense.

4 Deyjah Harris

T.I.'s second former girlfriend is Ranniqua, who was with the rapper for almost two years, from 1999 to 2001. The musician had an affair with her when still living with LaShon. With Ranniqua, the singer has a daughter named Deyjah, who was delivered in 2001. Despite being just a teenager, she can already be called a star thanks to her professional Instagram account with huge followership. Sadly, T.I.'s questionable acts of love have deeply harmed her. As proof of it, the rapper made her feel embarrassed when revealing that he took her to the gynecologist to ensure she was a virgin when she was 18 years old. According to Cheat Sheet, the now 20-year-old girl "didn't think T.I. is a bad parent but admitted the ordeal made her look at him differently. She started to break down as she repeated how 'traumatizing' the situation was for her."

3 Clifford "King" Joseph Harris III

In 2010 Harris tied the knot with a well-known songwriter and singer: Tameka Cottle. They met in 2001 and started dating almost immediately. Tameka Tip has three more kids with his wife, with Clifford being the oldest one. He was welcomed to the world in 2004. The 17-year-old has been busy getting involved in verbal altercations on the internet. He was also involved in a fight at school. Some think that maybe he isn't receiving much attention from his dad.

2 Major Harris

After living together for nine years and having two kids, Harris and Tameka have finally married officially. Their second son, Major, was born in 2008. He was the youngest member of the family for eight years until his beautiful sister came along. As he is one of the minors in the family, there's no doubt that T.I. probably spoils him the most.

1 Heiress Harris

In 2016 Heiress became a third wonderful addition to the family. There are many photos of T.I. hugging his daughter and being an affectionate father. Meanwhile, Heiress' mother, Tameka, can be described as a very understandable and loyal spouse who has always supported her husband. But everything has its limits. Because of the rapper's regular visits to the prison, she filed for a divorce in 2016. However, they are now still together, and it looks like none of them is ready to end this marriage.
