Rap superstar T.I. has wed his longtime girlfriend Tameka 'Tiny' Cottle after exchanging vows in a courthouse in Miami, Florida on Friday.

The "Live Your Life" hitmaker, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., has been dating former Xscape singer Cottle since 2001 and the couple has two sons together.

They were rumored to be tying the knot in Hawaii last weekend but the claims proved to be false.

Instead, the stars became man and wife in a low-key event at a Miami Beach courthouse, reports TMZ.com.

The marriage licence, obtained by the website, shows the happy couple's ceremony was conducted by a deputy clerk on Friday.

T.I., 29, and Cottle, 35, are also parents to the rapper's three kids from previous relationships.

The wedding news follows T.I.'s recent release from prison after pleading guilty to weapon possession charges. He became a free man in April.
