Tiny Exits ‘Tiny & Toya’ While Toya Sticks Around BET For More Coonery

Posted by Juan

T.I. rightly pulls the plug on that nonesence while BET continues to sensationalize negative sterotypes


@tinymajormama @Toya_carter
Ok admit it.  You get entertainment quality satisfaction from watching a train wreck.  That’s exactly why rediculously exploitative reality shows like BET’s Tiny & Toya get such good ratings.  I mean after all these chicks were so country at times, BET needed to include subtitles to help the audicence decipher what they were saying.

Unfortunately, those guilt ridden laughs will unfortunately come to end as BET has announced the show will not be returning for a third season…sort of. Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, the fiancée of rapper T.I. has apparently declined to continue with the show.

The new show titled “Toya’s Family Affair,” which will focus on the life of Antonia “Toya” Carter, ex-wife of incarcerated rapper Lil’ Wayne life and her daughter with weezie.  Tiny will apparently still make guest appearances but no longer be a focal point.

“We just decided to kind of part ways because she is doing her own thing with her music career, her kids and she’s about to get married,” Carter said in a recent interview. “Some things you have to just keep private and I understand that as a friend.”

Translation: “T.I. was embarrassed by the foolishness we put out and no longer will subject his family to the ridicule surrounding the hot ghetto nonsense we put out but I need the money and will act the fool no doubt. ”

This doesn’t have anything to do with no marriage or music career. Recently There were many rumors very recently that upon his release from prison, T.I. told Tiny he would no longer support her acting a fool for TV.

Speaking about some of what the spinoff will show, Toya said you’ll see how Lil Wayne’s various baby mother’s get his kids together.

“Me, Lauren [London], Nivea and Sarah, we kind of always get together to keep the kids together so they can know each other,” Carter said. “The situation is not ideal but at this point it is what it is and we try to make the best of it.”

SMH.  This show and the lives some of these folks lead is embarrassing to me as a minority.  I know some upity white folks must look at us and laugh like the savages are so entertaining.  Its a shame we subject ourselves to sub-standards whenever possible then idolize it as if its cool.

Come on BET.  Lil Wayne is the top recording artist in the country contrary to my own personal beliefs and lets call a spade a spade, the only reason anyone cares about Toya is because of him.  So BET chooses to literally air his dirty laundry on television in the hopes of gaining a few ratings brownie points.  These are kids watching these shows and you’re demonstrating a horrible example of how the black family unit should be.  Find a rapper, be his 5th baby momma, get a tv show its all good.  That’s not reality.  Its modern day coonery and they know it but just don’t care.

    Whoa!!! I think you need to slow down Juan and others. “Baby Mama’s” have been around a lot longer than this show or Lil Wayne; he didn’t invent the Baby Mama. The baby mama is everywhere in our (at least mine) neighborhoods, cities, states, and country. Thus making “Baby Mama’s” reality, not coonery.

    Now granted, I am not a frequent viewer of the show, but I don’t see why you need be embarrassed by the show, simply because other “uppity” folk look down on it. There are plenty of “Baby Mama’s” in uppity neighborhoods who are in the same predicament as Toya. By the way, the “uppity” are labeled uppity because they look down on everyone else, including other uppity folk.

    Its a little disheartening to hear you are embarrassed about other black people and to say that we are all linked together in the minds of others. Its 2010, all black people are not judged based on what happens in Tiny’s, Toya’s, TI, or Lil Wayne’s life. If we are, then we need to examine the judge and not those being judged, including you.
