OMG…..chisos!!!!….. This TI’s “tiny”….. warrahell???…..
Alicia Beatz….lol, how cool does dat sound??
Every other bride looks fabulous….
Bt wait, I stil hvnt gotten over Tiny…… Plus dat nose!!!…. lolzzzz
i pity alicia keys….
and i don’t think that tiny is normal
TI must have been seriously plastered when he proposed..SMH!
the other brides looked very beautiful.
may God richly bless their marriages
T.I and Tiny………*shakes head*
Irin Tiny looks sooo razz!! what!?
Chelsea’s dress is gorgeous!!!!!!!damn money good ooo.
Hmnn Alicia, dunno know why but I ll be watching..
Seriously Tiny WHY??Her bangers where falling out…
Chelsea is too thin oh!
I can’t believe how flaky and shallow some of you sound. Maybe TI with all his Money, Looks and Fame sees more in her than her physical appearance. They met while he was a nobody with no money and fame and while she had both. I’m sure there are many Alicia Keys of the world he could have had (including Keys herself), but he chose the inner beauty. Not of a fan of her outfits, but I think she is a really good human being and sure admire whatever it is they both share. Btw, I’m pretty sure she can fix her nose if she wanted to.
@MiaJadore,
You are right all the way. In any event, Alicia Keys herself has had nose job as had a lot of black American celebrities though most of them deny it. At least Tiny is keeping it real and that’s probably what TI likes about her.
Tiny & T.I. have been sweethearts since they were like 15…their love may actually be the most genuine one here not that anyone can comment because we are not privy to any of these relationships…so all i will do is wish all the best
they could not have been 15 togethere.she is older than him. but its great they love eachoother and who r we to judge.i think shez pretty
Read somehwere that Chelsea’s gown cost $25,000 and the wedding cost
somewhere between $3 – $5 million. I’m so happy for her! I love how she has
remained scandal-free. On a different note, Vera Wang dey try o!
@ LeighJoy, your info is not quite true. They have been together since 2001, but I will agree on the fact that this genuine love and NOT as a result of lust!! I totally agree with MiaJadore!! Alicia Keys the world is watching!!
Chelsea’s gown is too gorgeous! inspiring even me to want a ‘grand’ wedding
I hope Alicia gets what’s coming to her. She definately has forgotten that what goes around, will surely come around!!!
ALICIA!!! I am waiting for your turn! That’s all I can say!
@africanChic,she won”t forget;remember she sang about it(Karma).. Lol
@Miajadore,you don’t have to say people sound shallow (don’t be that uncouth with words). Be sincere to yourself,what was your initial reaction when you saw the wedding pictures of Tiny and T.I? It’s not out of place to react negatively.I don’t criticize or insult plain people but i want you to know that there are a whole
lot of beautiful people with beautiful minds too… Good for T.I that she’s a really good human being(like you said),but honestly sis,you should see plain chicks with nasty attitudes..
sorry oh people,what wetin be Alicia Keys offence? everybody is saying she will get what she deserves.
Peeps, why all teh negativtity towards Alicia. What did she do?????
she (Alicia) married someone else’s husband…. simple
ooops oh okay. i get it now. She was involved with a married man.
a married man with kids…..
and to say she left he record label that has been by her all these years
to sign up with her new found love….i wish the lover loves her like she does loves him.
i also wish he wont dump her for a hotter lady like Beyonce……
i wish her the best.
Sorry *her* not he…….the sixth word on the third line.
Vera Wang is just too much ***
alicia marriage won’t last a younger and hotter girl will do the same thing she did to is wife an kids u can’t wreck someone eles marriage and expect your to work he will do the same to u god don’t like ugly T.I and Tiny they have kids together they should be married i know she not hte best looking but she might be a very nice person may god bless there marriage in jesus name
Be real people, before he went after her the so called was so gone and dead. If the ex-wife will be truthful, the man wasn’t there. If you don’t treat your man well and he goes out, don’t tend to blame another. Blame yourself.Its better you live your life than pretend to be married to someone who wasn’t there.
Alicia, l wish you all the best.
Lesson learned: never let Valentino make your wedding dress O_O But I do want a Vera Wang wedding dress!!! So beautiful.
Btw are people really still going on about Alicia?? *yawn* As far as I’m concerned only they know what really happened.
Alicia !
i am sorry for you!
all you and your yeye love songs!
as in really???????
seeing chelsea clinton so slim in her vera wang. made me remember one of kate hudson’s lines from bride wars. ” u dont alter vera 2 fit u…u alter urself 2 fit vera”. chelsea def had 2 alter herself. she looks great btw!!
How can Alicia get married to this unfaithful dude…the guy got kids from 2 people already…well it’s Hollywood sha……………
TI loves Tiny cos the babe dint give up on him wen he had his run with the law last year. Remember he did time in d jail and the babe kept faith? How else can he show his love for the mother of his kids? Haba?! looks are only superficial, the babe must have a sweet spirit to keep her man committed!
@Alicia I can’t judge but I hope he does not turn tail and run after the next babe in line. This Beatz guy looks like a polygamist to me: 2 women already have kids for him (anyway his real name is Kaseem).
@Chelsea good for her! She did well in keeping the paparazzi and mdia guessing. The babe mst have had enough of the Clinton media buzz
@Tiny was with T.I when he was a nobody and she was in her prime days of Xscape group, that is why he respects her a lot.
@Chelsea n Hubby i wish them the very best
@ Alicia Keys, I hope everything works out for her.
ALicia Beatz lolzz…..smh… superwoman…karma… #thatsall
Gosh! Naija babes, you all are very parochial and retrograde in your thinking…ahn ahn! Leave Alicia alone!!!! Pls how did she wreck his marriage? He obviously was no longer happy in it and moved on and now he’s a happier man…marriage is not supposed to be like prison, if it is no longer working either party is free to opt out…are there not married men that have girlfriends that they will NEVER leave their wives for? If this man left his wife for Alicia, that is where he found happiness….
Yes Yes! He most likely will do the same when he gets bored of Alicia too but pls some of you should use your heads more and quit this puerile thinking….A woman never causes a man to abandon everything he believes in/brings him joy…go and ask the kept women on Tari’s article!
Serena, my girl. She looks great…
@ Justsaying…..errm so you blatanly just picked up a thesaurus this morning?
Naija babes are parochial and retrograde? WTF?
You obviously needed an excuse to use those words. pshewwwww (mu2)
I find it really offensive when people surmmarise the behaviour of an entire nation by something as mundane and infantile (uh hun! got Word spellcheck too) as the comments section of an entertainment blog.
The babe was started going out with him while he was still married. END OF. Who needs to know the details? Its still shady as hell. Olorigbeske! and that goes for you too “Justsaying”
wats up with the big big grammar ‘just saying’ is using?
I wish all the couples marital bliss!
Lala and Chelsea looked amazing.
As for Tiny, I’ve come to accept that she’ll dress as she pleases even when it doesn’t look good. Her and toya, same ish. I am impressed tho that her and TI held it down for so loong, I wish them abundant marital blessings.
What can I say about Alicia, you and God know what truly happened. God sees, God knows and Gd rewards/punishes. I’m sure you’re pretty familiar with the word “karma”….nuf said
lol @ Gbegborun’s reply to Justsaying
LOL LOL LOL @ Gbeborun’s comment….parochial and retrograde are big words? wow! kpele oh…its not my fault if you need to work on your vocabulary..anyway, be a gud girl and stop trying to look for trouble
PS: pls try to read properly….i did not say ALL naija babes but it is fair to say that most if not all the babes that have commented on the Alicia Keys issue on this page are Nigerian. Or is that improbable?
BTW, this is ‘justsaying’…obviously bored today …oya bye bye
LOVE ALL THE GOWNS
Chelsea-She is just breathtaking.Love everything about the wedding…
Tiny is such a ”hotmess” mehn…She looks like a drag queen…..
He was already separated from his wife before getting involved with Alicia Keys ..And morerover the other woman didnt claim Alicia Keys was the cause of their breakup.Though, I dont like the idea of having kids out of wedlock,but things happen for a reason in life .I dont think is in our place to judge them.The best thing we can all do is to pray for her safe delivery and peaceful home for her new family.
@ leighjoy no they have not been sweethearts since they were 15 cuz tiny is 5 years older theyre hardly in da same bracket at all.
Lovely couples….wish u all a blissful marriage!
For those wondering about Alicia….

What goes round comes round…and if he lied to her abt his married status, he will SURELY lie about a lot of things. Good luck to u madam
for those who didn’t know T.I & Tin hv been together for a looong minute. They’v got kids or @ least one anyway and he didn’t just meet her and propose. You don’t watch BET????
lolll@ gbeborun & Iambored aka just saying….lolll
Lovely and simple Clinton wedding..love the strict use of guest list. Nigerians should learn from this
I knooooooooooooooow rite?
Lol@gbegborun and just sayin…ROTFLMAO
All d brides luk nice,I ve a special love for chelsea’s dress though,in btw the grooms luk gorgeous…me likey! *pecks*
why are people are like ..T.i and tiny …are not a good match…..the lady stood by him while he was in jail…….i love T.i suit ….that great man….show them why you are the king of the south…..alicia and swiss …that a match from heaven …
Alica,she looks so great.
what happened to Kim’s face? she looks like a carton…….i guess its the face lift stuff, Kim u are a pretty girl and don’t need a face lift.
Great wedding. Wishing them the very best.
My goodness, Tiny’s dress is rather appalling.. Surely T.I. could’ve afforded something better!
Alica,it is bad that she got married to this guys,when there are alot of handsome guys at there who are single,but she deceided to pink this guy,any way i wish her the best of luck
i think wen it comes to the issue of marriage one should be careful in passing judgement,no man will leave his family for a girlfriend NEVER!!!!!!. also remember that our culture and theirs aren’t same,for all you know Alicia cld be using him too after all having kids is in vogue for them now. Marriage is not moi-moi so stop making noise if u like no keep your hubby happy and excited.
