Zonnique Pullins sends step-dad T.I. a special birthday message

She may not be T.I.’s biological daughter, but Zonnique Pullins had a special birthday message for the man who stood as her father.

T.I. just celebrated his 38th birthday on Tuesday and his stepdaughter, Zonnique Pullins took the opportunity to laud him for his important role in her life. Zonnique was only five years old when T.I. began raising her as his own daughter having forged a relationship with her mother and his wife, Tiny Harris.

Photos Zonnique posted to accompany her message revealed the closeness she shares with the rapper who appeared to be present in every milestone in the 22-year-old’s life.

There was one where she lovingly hugs him and another where they’re both wearing party hats. The first photo in the series featured the two dressed for an occasion looking more like siblings than father and daughter.

“Happy Birthday to the person that came into my life and has always treated me like his very own!”, Zonnique began to write before expressing her appreciation for the actor.

“I’m forever grateful for you and appreciative of all the things you’ve taught me on my journey in life!”

She continued by saying she wouldn’t trade him for the world and told him she loved him “endlessly.”

T.I. seemed to be away from home at the time as Zonnique wished her pop “safe travels home” before signing off. Based on recent reports, he was on a birthday vacation prepared for him by Tiny.

The Xscape singer went all out to celebrate her husband’s birthday this year. Apart from the trip, she also purchased a couple of billboards and used it to commemorate his birthday. One of them had the words “Happy Birthday King. Loving you always, Mrs. H," scrawled on it while another was an advertisement for the opening of T.I.’s Trap Music Museum.

Tiny also used her Instagram to pen a sweet message for her husband to accompany a photo of the two of them inside a pool. She also made sure to emphasize that she’s the only Mrs. Harris in her husband’s life.

“New memories to go along with 18 years of old memories! You already know what’s up with me so I’ll #SayLess Happy 38thbirthday to My personal Sex Symbol..Mr. Harris…MajorLove frm THE ONE & ONLY Mrs. H”

She also shared a couple of videos from their intimate night swim. One of them featured the rapper getting a shoulder rub from his wife while another showed her shimmying behind him. T.I. appeared pleased with the attention his wife showered him.

Back in July, T.I. likewise went big in showing his appreciation for Tiny on her birthday. He gifted her with a brand new Mercedes along with other pricey presents stowed at the car’s back seat. The lavish show of affection arrived in the heels of a cheating scandal involving T.I. and Asia’h Epperson that threatened to rock their marriage. That seems to be in the past now seeing the couple have been showing a mutual interest in making each other happy.
