T.I.’s Open Letter to His Stepdaughter Zonnique on Her 21st Birthday is Why All Dads Matter

Get ready to break out the tissue. Recently T.I. served up all the daddy-daughter feels when he took to Instagram to wish Tiny's daughter, Zonnique Pullins, a happy birthday. The head of The Family Hustle household couldn't help but wear his heart on his social media sleeve, as he penned a few precious words to his "baby girl."

@troubleman31 "Well,well,well.... So the day has finally come. It's finally time for me to accept the fact that this adorable little baby angel has matured & is finally grown & ready to face the world as an adult. As much as it pains me,my little munchkin who couldn't even scoop her own ice cream,can now drive,vote,as of today...Drink,& pretty much do whatever else she wants to do. Although it's a bitter sweet celebration for me as ''Pops'', I'm still extremely proud & impressed with the amazing young woman you've become. You're a beautiful,talented,intelligent,passionate young lady with principles & an awesome sense of humor. Even though you want to be seen as an adult now,you'll ALWAYS be my baby girl!!! I love you!!!! Happy 21st Gday NIQ NIQ!!!! @zonniquejailee #Ni66aWeMadeIt #ProudPops"

Aww! It feels like just yesterday we were watching TIP lead a full-on stakeout while spying on Niq Niq during a friendly date with a male companion. Although not his biological daughter, it's no secret that the 36-year-old rapper and actor has been a part of Zonnique's life since she was a little girl, and considers her as one of his own. Whether it was some pre-prom parental advice on boys or putting a creep in check in Zonnique's IG comments, the king of the South has been a prominent male figure in Niq's life for a long time. He is the perfect example of how being a dad is not limited to labels, but rather, is limitless in love.

Check out T.I. and Tiny express what they love about the children in their blended family.
