Tameka “Tiny” Harris announced that her eldest child, Zonnique Pullins, is now a mom as of Tuesday.

Harris, who is married to rapper T.I., announced the news on her Instagram on Tuesday night, noting that her new grandbaby was both “fat & cute.”

“Congratulations to my 1st💙 my LuvBug @zonniquejaileeMy Gbaby is so fat & cute!! Just as I dreamed she would be!! I told y’all Today was a very Blessed day straight frm God! & yes I just loved this video so I had to,” she wrote in her Instagram post.

The little girl is the 24-year-old’s first child with her boyfriend Bandhunta Izzy. Pullins, who was once a member of girl group OMG Girlz, also stars with her parents on the VH1 reality show “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle,” which is filmed in metro Atlanta.

Her cohosts on the FoxSoul talk show “The Mix” sent their congratulations earlier this week. “The Mix” cohost Romeo Miller shared some details about Pullins’ new baby girl.

“Our new niece was born at 6:27am. She’s 8lbs 8oz, and 21 inches long! We haven’t seen her yet, but we already know she’s a beautiful, amazing strong princess.”

In August, Pullins made a surprise reveal about her pregnancy to T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, on the “The Mix.”

During the show, Jamie DuBose, one of the show’s hosts, pulled out a photo of a sonogram while speaking with the guests, including Pullins and T.I.

DuBose kept the guests guessing whose sonogram it was. T.I. was asked whose it was, and he said, “I know it ain’t Niqqi,” he said. “... Anybody but Niqqi,” referring to his stepdaughter.

She shocked her stepdad when she announced she was, in fact, expecting.
