T.I
Monica is heading down the aisle - she's set to be a bridesmaid when her childhood pal Tameka Cottle weds rap superstar T.I..
The Live Your Life hitmaker, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., has been dating former Xscape singer Cottle since 2001 and the couple has two sons together. T.I. recently completed a prison term for illegal weapons possession and the stars are making plans to celebrate his freedom by exchanging vows this year, and Monica will play a key part in the ceremony after she was asked to join Cottle's bridal party.
She tells Hip Hop Weekly, "I'm the bridesmaid! Me and Tiny have been friends for years. I was 12 when we met." The Boy Is Mine singer refuses to let slip details about the upcoming wedding but insists "it's going to be beautiful".
