Tameka “Tiny” Harris appears to be in good spirits after Atlanta police confirmed to HollywoodLife that she was the victim of theft on Sunday, October 6. On Monday, the singer, 44, and husband T.I., 39, shared photos from their night out at the grand opening of Tyler Perry Studios, which took place in the couple’s native Atlanta over the weekend. Tip stayed close to his wife, who looked stunning in a sparkling gown with a plunging v-neck.
The rapper, who looked dapper in a blue silk suit, wrapped his arm around Tiny in one group shot that included Samuel L. Jackson. Despite being robbed of more than $750,000 in jewelry, including her wedding ring, watches, and stud earrings, Tiny made time to share her thoughts about the event in a post on Instagram. She gushed over Tyler Perry’s achievement and made it a point to note the importance of the producer’s monumental event.
“On a lighter note…this happen the other night!! What better strong, successful black woman/women could I have met!!”, she captioned one snap from the night, which included Oprah, Gayle King and Tip. “Thx to @tylerperry the room was filled with nothing short of incredible Black excellence. Definitely a night to remember,” Tiny concluded.

The grand opening of Tyler Perry Studios took place over the weekend just before Tiny’s valuables were stolen from her Lamborghini in Atlanta. The singer told police that she and a friend were having drinks at Bar Amalfi in Midtown Atlanta when the theft occurred. When she returned to her vehicle around 9:45 p.m. local time, Tiny discovered that a bag, which contained the jewelry, was gone.
Atlanta police told HollywoodLife the following details about the robbery: “She stated a blue velour bag containing various jewelry items, estimated value exceeding $750,000.00, was taken from the vehicle. There were no signs of forced entry or damage observed to the vehicle. The investigation continues.” We will update the original story if new developments occur.
