Intro
2006 | BET Awards
The BET Awards red carpet was packed with flashing cameras as T.I. posed for photos alongside Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Pharrell Williams, and Young Jeezy.
When they stepped away, the crowd erupted again.
Guest walked onto the carpet.
A world-famous Playboy model, Victoria’s Secret Angel, and international sex symbol, she turned every head in the building. Her flawless brown skin, waist-length platinum white hair, white brows and lashes, light blue fox eyes, cherry blossom tattoos, and elegant white-and-gold open-back dress made her impossible to ignore.
Ludacris laughed. “Tip… she just shut the whole carpet down.”
T.I. smiled. “She definitely got everybody’s attention.”
⸻
After the performances, they met again at the after-party.
What started as a simple conversation turned into hours of laughing, joking, and talking about everything from growing up in the South to music, fashion, and life.
They exchanged numbers before the night ended.
Over the next few months, they went on dates, attended parties, traveled together, and spent long nights in the studio, where Guest always supported T.I. while he worked.
Six months later, he proposed.
She happily said yes.
Their marriage came with a little drama, plenty of business meetings, and nonstop success, but they always had each other’s backs.

2011
Now living in a huge Atlanta mansion, the couple starred in their own reality show, Love, Loyalty & Hustle.
While T.I. continued growing his music empire, Guest balanced modeling with running her successful makeup, beauty, and clothing brands, while preparing to launch a hair-growth company and perfume line.
Together they raised six children: Montrell (18), Jordan (16), Dior (13), Mason (4), Marcus (3), and Angelina (2).
Through fame, family, and business, they proved that love, loyalty, and hustle could build an empire together.
