Can Music Save T.I. and Tiny's Marriage?

Tiny and T.I. have released dueling songs, encouraging even more speculation about their rocky marriage. From beef with Floyd Mayweather, who alleged (then denied) that he’s been with Tiny, to rumors that T.I. was with another woman on Mother’s Day and was planning to live in another house outside of the family home, it’s hard to tell just what is going on.

Fortunately for their fans, if unfortunately for them, they’ve told some of the story themselves. T.I.’s song “Stay” lamented his woman’s thirst for the attention of unworthy friends among other things, but in it, he also said he wants to make it work, while Tiny pretty much says the same on “What The F- You Gon’ Do?”

Well, grammar aside, Tiny is saying that the couple is willing to work on staying together. On Vibe.com, she talked to writer Aliya S. King about where she sees things heading.

 I wrote this song a year ago. I never planned to put it out. It was therapy for me. At the time, I was really going through a lot. Stuff that the public didn’t know and still doesn’t know. And over the past year, as things have unfolded publicly, people expected me to speak on it. And then I realized, I did speak on all of this, a year ago, in this song. So it made sense to release it.

I’ve had people say, why not just talk to your husband about all this instead of talking to him through a song. Please believe, I’m doing that too! You’re not in our house. You’re not in our conversations. You’re not in our bed at night. This song is not all there is to this relationship.

Tiny also told Vibe.com: “We’re working on it.” Though she worried that her song would be overshadowed by his (she says they didn’t plan on releasing them at the same time, hmmm, thought you were talking?) but that she loves the song and has it “on repeat.”

Tiny didn’t need to worry. Her song, out less than 24 hours, is currently holding down the #1 spot on the R&B and Soul chart on iTunes and has been viewed more than 36,000 times on YouTube.

On his part , T.I. said in a recent interview that “Stay” was not specifically about his relationship with Tiny (although it sounds like it) but that’s it’s a song Samsung had exclusive rights to that leaked. It may or may not be on his upcoming Paperwork CD, which he’s working on now with Pharrell.

We can only hope all these musical valentines can be enough to keep these two together. We all know what happened with Robin Thicke.
