Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiff Tiff
Hi Tiff, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I was born on The southside of STL, I was adopted at the age of 2yrs old & was raised in Jennings, Mo. growing up I fought a lot due to people not accepting me or basically cause I’ll beat they friend up then they’ll want to try me. Literally the whole school followed me home almost everyday. My mom ended up sending me to a group home thinking it’ll change my behavior but regardless it was like my classmates & their friends always tried me. I Ran away so many times due to me not having the freedom & I ended up meeting this Gworl & her mom took me & my sister in as her very own. I started dropping a diss track due to lil beef I had on the streets , & ended up going viral. So I dropped a pt 2 & within that pt 2 it was featured with my 2 homegirls that I linked with so i ended up making a gworls group call OTS(only the sisters) . We paved a way for ourselves but ended up splitting due to jealousy. I went back to my moms & ended up going to alternative school the year of 2015. Around that time I ended up pregnant with my first daughter (Derricka) so I dropped out. I felt like at this point I needed money I needed to provide for my daughter. In the mist of all that I ended up meeting my second baby’s father , I felt like he was more mature & just on the level I was on as far as being a mother. So within time I grew and grew , staying in shelters throughout Stl Missouri because I really didn’t wanna need my family at all I was always independent. I ended up fighting while I was pregnant and getting kicked out the shelter so I moved with my second & third child father mother, she was Very supportive . My baby dads used to be so controlling to the point we got put out I wasn’t having none of that , so I ended having my youngest & at that point I moved into my own lil 2 bedroom apartment in belfountain Mo. time was going by & I wanted to focus more on my music career thinking I have the support from my babies dad , I left everything and went to Atlanta Georgia. I literally did shows & even met with top dogs that’s in the industry. My baby dads used being who he is kinda slowed me down so I needed up moving back to stl with my mom and leaving him alone . I became a single mother because I just felt like that would exclude the problem of any blockage I had in my life when it came to my Music Career & living situation. I became very stable with 3 of my daughters we moved into our first 2 bedroom 1 bath HOUSE. I took time off from dating & focus on me & my daughters . Time passed and we was living the life & focusing more on my music . I eneded up meeting this guy in transition of moving from my 2 bedroom house into 3 bedroom 2 bath townhouse. who was abusive & controlling , I didn’t realize that until the second month of dealing with him. He told me it’s either him or my music , but yet he was a photographer. So I chose him & at the end of the day he chose me & his photographer career, which was 🙄. I used to fight for my life dealing with him , it was times when I took him back because I felt like once I fought him back I was good. It got worser, he bused out my house windows, he kicked my front & back door in , he damaged my whole house to the point I was feed up.! The last situation when I felt like i should get the police involved was when he hit me more than once infront of my daughters , I ended up calling the police & getting him locked up . Taking to his mom kinda put me in the space of having a heart & me really thinking “ok maybe he changed”, so of course I help led him out of jail & once again I had to move into another 2 bedroom house 2 bathroom property that the also distroyed. I needed getting me a car and he distroyed that as well. So the day of his birthday he ended up going out I had his car due to him messing up mines. I ended up decorating his car booking a room , and booking reservations for a VR sandbox . The time I picked him up he continued to argued with me so I told him that I was done with the arguments, the fighting, the insecurities and more & once I said that all hell broke loose. He ended up taking me to a dead end and beating me to nearly death. I ended up defending myself & killed him . I was hurt by the situation I couldn’t believe it . I was literally lost for words . I was in the hospital for a week & after that I ended up moving to Miami Florida to further my career & spend more time with my daughters. Life been so much better & god been on my side. One thing I never did was give up . From the 314 to the 305 baby we outside !
