Tameka “Tiny” Harris orchestrated a surprise birthday celebration for her mother, Dianne, on Tuesday, gathering an intimate but star-studded family lunch that brought the matriarch to tears of joy. The event, captured exclusively for 9MagTV, featured Tiny’s daughter Zonnique Pullins and grandson Major Harris, as well as a cascade of loved ones who showered Dianne with affection. The video transcript, obtained by this station, reveals a spontaneous and heartwarming affair at an undisclosed restaurant, with family members repeatedly chanting “Hey Nema” and “Hey Mama” to honor the birthday queen.
The celebration began with a casual lunch setting, but quickly escalated into a full-blown family reunion as relatives arrived in waves. Tiny, dressed elegantly, beamed as she guided her mother into the venue, where a banner reading “Happy Birthday Queen” hung prominently. Dianne, visibly emotional, was immediately surrounded by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, including Major, who brought his signature energy to the festivities.
The video shows Tiny leading the toast, declaring, “It’s the queen’s birthday. Happy birthday, people. Happy birthday, baby.
Happy birthday.”
Zonnique Pullins, the singer and reality star, was among the first to arrive, holding Major on her hip as she shouted “Hey Nema” to her grandmother. The phrase, a term of endearment, echoed through the room as other family members joined in, including Michaela, Tamika, King, River, Jaylen, Kelsey, and Jada. Each person took turns approaching Dianne, offering hugs and kisses, while Tiny orchestrated the chaos with a mix of laughter and tears.
“You weren’t supposed to!” Dianne exclaimed at one point, clearly overwhelmed by the surprise.
The video transcript shows a flurry of activity, with family members playfully competing to greet Dianne first. At one moment, Tiny’s daughter Zonnique instructed her son Major to say “Hey Nema” again, prompting the toddler to repeat the phrase with a grin. River, another relative, joined in, shouting “Hey Nema” multiple times, while King and Jaylen added their voices to the chorus.
The scene captured the unscripted joy of a family united, with Dianne laughing and wiping her eyes.
Tiny, who is known for her role in the hit reality series “T. I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle,” took a moment to address the camera directly, expressing her gratitude for her mother’s influence.
“Look at Miss Harris. Girl. It’s the queen’s birthday,” she said, her voice cracking with emotion.
“We are here to break the queen.” She then gestured to the assembled family, adding, “All the family’s here. And there’s more.
There’s more.”
The lunch featured a multi-course meal, with dishes that appeared to include Dianne’s favorites, though the exact menu was not disclosed. Family members sang “Happy Birthday” twice, with Tiny leading the second rendition in a powerful voice that silenced the room. The cake, a three-tiered confection adorned with fresh flowers and a crown, was brought out by Major, who struggled to carry it but succeeded with Zonnique’s help.
Dianne blew out the candles to cheers and applause.
The event marks a rare public appearance for the extended Harris family, who have largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent months. Tiny’s husband, rapper T. I.
, was notably absent from the video footage, though sources close to the family say he sent a video message earlier in the day. “King sends his love from the road,” Tiny told the room, referring to T. I.
by his nickname. “He wished he could be here, but he’s working.”
The celebration also highlighted the bond between Tiny and her mother, which has been a central theme in her public life. In previous interviews, Tiny has credited Dianne with raising her and her siblings after their parents’ divorce, and has often spoken about the sacrifices her mother made. “She is my rock,” Tiny said in the video, as she hugged Dianne tightly.
“I wouldn’t be here without her.”
The video transcript ends with a call to action from 9MagTV, urging viewers to like, comment, and subscribe. “Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe,” a voice said, followed by a collective shout of “Hey Mama” from the entire family. Dianne, with tears streaming down her face, looked at the camera and whispered, “I love you, my queen.”
The family luncheon comes amid a busy season for Tiny, who is reportedly working on new music and a potential reality television project. Zonnique Pullins, who has been focusing on her own career as a singer and influencer, brought Major along to ensure the generation-to-generation moment was captured. The toddler, who turned two earlier this year, was seen dancing to music playing in the background, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The video has already generated significant buzz online, with fans praising the family for celebrating Dianne with such authenticity. “This is what family should look like,” one commenter wrote. “Tiny and Zonnique are showing love the right way.”
Another added, “Dianne is the true queen of that family. Happy birthday to her.”
As the lunch wound down, Tiny presented her mother with a gift—a custom piece of jewelry that, according to sources, includes a photo of the family. Dianne opened it slowly, wiping her eyes before holding it up for the camera. “Thank you, baby,” she said to Tiny.
“Thank you for everything.”
The event concluded with a group photo, capturing every relative who attended, from the youngest to the oldest. Family members posed in front of the birthday banner, with Dianne seated in the center, her crown slightly askew. Tiny stood behind her, one hand on her shoulder, while Zonnique held Major on her hip.
The image, which will likely be shared on social media later this week, encapsulates the love and resilience of the Harris family.
