Tameka Cottle, a singer-songwriter, and rapper T.I. had a stillborn baby girl named Leyah Amore Harris. Despite the fact that it has been over a decade since Leyah’s death, there is still some speculation about the cause of her death.
Leyah Amore Harris Was Stillborn-What Caused Her Death?
T.I. and Cottle became parents for the first time in August 2004, when their son Clifford “King” Harris III was born. After three years, the couple revealed that they were expecting their second child, a girl. Sadly, the pregnancy ended in tragedy.
The singer opened up about her pregnancy struggles in an exclusive interview with Essence Magazine. She stated that the sac that held her baby girl was split in two and that they had not been combined since the girl growing inside her reached the age of 16 weeks.
The baby was “positioned in the middle of those two sacs,” according to the Grammy Award-winning artist. Doctors also warned her that the fetus “could become entangled in her umbilical cord.”
Despite the doctor’s repeated warnings, Cottle never considered losing the baby. Six months after giving birth, Cottle went to see a specialist, which resulted in a devastating outcome.
Funeral for Leyah Amore Harris
Leyah’s family planned a beautiful funeral service for their late baby girl. Their family members and a few others were present. Furthermore, Cottle admitted that she only visits the graveyard on “holidays and special days” because it is “too sad.”

T.I. and Cottle started dating in 2001. They dated for about nine years before getting married on July 30, 2010. Their wedding took place in Miami Beach, Florida.
Despite having been boyfriend and girlfriend for over a decade, they couldn’t do the same as a married couple. Tiny filed for divorce from her husband T.I. in late 2016, after about six years of marriage. According to a source, the couple is currently working on a reconciliation.
When it comes to their children, they have a total of seven. In 2004, they had their first child, a son named King. They became parents for the second time in May 2008, when their son Major was born.
In addition, their daughter, Heiress Harris, was born in March 2016. T.I. and Tiny announced their pregnancy on Christmas Day of 2015.
T.I. also has three children from previous relationships, including two sons, Messiah and Domani, with his ex-girlfriend Lashon Thompson and a daughter, Deyjah, with rapper Ms. Niko. He has previously dated Bernice Burgos.
Cottle also has a daughter, Zonnique, with her ex-boyfriend, Zonnie “Zeboe” Pullins.
