(59) Keri says:

Man I think TI is the best he truly is the King. I respect his hustle, and his words are phenomonal. Anybody who can make me dance, make me think, and challenge my mind is real. TI and TIP are in my top. Happy for his BET awards too, and don’t think I didn’t see Tiny…

Keri

PS>Black couples need to stay together so stay with Tiny…Remember real love is hard to find, and once you let it go it’s gone…
