T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., halted work on the show’s latest season after he learned his sister was involved in a car crash and was taken to the hospital.

Precious Harris "hit a pole, which triggered an asthma attack. The 66-year-old — who often appears on the show — was taken to a hospital where she's now in ICU," TMZ reported.

Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris posted a photo with her sister-in-law on Instagram, asking for prayers, as did Precious Harris’ daughter, Kamaya.

T.I. and Tiny "were devastated," TMZ reported.

The Atlanta couple, who had been having marital trouble the past couple of years but appear to be back together, took time out of their worry to celebrate Valentine's Day, with T.I. putting a smile on his wife's face with a canary yellow diamond ring.
