Bernice Burgos is a central figure in the divorce proceedings between T.I. and his longtime partner, Tiny, and Burgos has taken a lot of heat over her alleged relationship with the Atlanta rapper. Tiny went so far as to refer to her as a "pass around bitch," which would be enough to get under the skin of just about anybody.
Apparently, Burgos had enough of Tiny's trash talk, leading her to reference an old Biggie lyric in a clap-back on Instagram: "I'll fuck RuPaul before I fuck them ugly ass Xscape bitches," a dig at Tiny's looks that still echoes all these years later. All the posts in the beef between Burgos and Tiny have since been deleted, but during a new appearance with The Breakfast Club on Power 105, Burgos opened up her reason for getting into it with Tiny, as well as her regrets.
"I was shocked at myself, I'm very disappointed in what I did," she said. "Social media sometimes will put you in a place that you have to fight with people that you don't know. I was listening to social media, so many lies, so many you this, you that, like wait a minute. It was only for business, I got introduced for a movie."
That last bit, which suggests Burgos' relationship with T.I. was more professional than it has been made out to be, was expanded on some more. Burgos says any connection she had with the rapper stemmed from trying to get an acting role.
"It was only for business, only for a movie," she said. "People need to stop, just because I'm pretty, just because they so-called say video vixen, just to let y'all know, stop with this video vixen shit. I'm not a video vixen."
The issue for Burgos seems to be that she doesn't appreciate having her name dragged through the mud or be labeled a certain way for whatever it is she does, which is understandable enough. But it sure seems like she's downplaying something; if a marriage is dissolving that has withstood a lot of turbulent times, and one of the parties involved is coming at you with anger, it sure seems like there's a little more than "business" at stake.
