Well she’s Got to earn that! A Title is Not meant to be freely given..If it was then she wouldn’t give it the importance’s that it was due. besides guys don’t enter or maintain official relationships with people unless they in it for the long haul..i mean sex is everywhere But support commitment and loyalty is Not she never had a chance she merely has an opportunity.. if she works to earn an show him loyalty an respect. he will claim her maybe she’s got to show effort cuz dude is paid status clout influence…he Not a regular dude so she gotta prove she different from the rest of these chicks that she got wifey potential

Tink is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how she’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity she’s been giving has been inspirational! She has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. She is too fire! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Tink🔥
Tink is underrated! She KEEPS THE GWORLS WITH BANGERS!!!
So gr8ful to see Tink get what she deserves. She has countless hits.. only difference now is her music is on streaming platforms so now she’s getting plaques .. she’d have so many golds if not platinums already for the Winters Diary Series.

YeH, they’re together…. It definitely shows…. I like it though. I hope she is happy. Rooting for her. Rooting for them
I think with these two, they obviously have love for eachother, she wants him, but she knows he’s for the streets, and will want an open type relationship. She doesn’t want that, it would be embarrassing for her. She’s realized, the way she has him now, is exactly how it would be in a “committed” relationship. So why commit? But she is a gem, and craves commitment in many areas of life, and she hasn’t got it. The right one will come along, and she will get tired of games and she will have her happy, and Hit will have his heaux. Long term he will regret losing out on a lifetime partnership with a woman like her, she levels him out.

Tink is extremely guarded, and rightfully so. you can see the slight discomfort between her and HM. her music really reflects the cautious, damaged hopeless romantic she really is. She wants to love but she is scared of hurt, especially at her level in the industry. Hitmaka tuned in to her perfectly, and you can tell he's willing to put his feelings of inadequacy on mute based on how she represented him in the love talk, so he traded energy. Thats just the life of entertainers. You just never know, and you don't wanna speak too soon.

I'm proud of Tink she's really been grinding for a long ass time so its exciting seeing where she is right now in her career. On another note...for those of you wanting these two to be together, he literally said, "men aint shit" "he aint shit". If he dude is telling you who/what he is BELIEVE HIS ASS! They both said that they are just friends and close it is what it is people get to wrapped up and invested in these "celebrities" lives.
Everyone in the comments saying Tink knows what shes doing and she’s benefiting from their “situationship” and I don’t understand that. She doesn’t have to sleep with this man to get a record she is worth more than that. That girl is into him even if that wasn’t the intention at first she definitely has feelings for him and the way he’s talking he’s not looking to commit, she better be careful.

Of course she's into him. She's going to make it feel real for him as long as she can benefit off him. She's into him for his business connects. Tink was signed to timabland and he did nothing but stall her career. Hit maker knows everyone right now and has songs on the billboard and he sells records. Tink has been working hard for years we don't know what her mindset is. We don't know tink personally. We don't know what she does or doesn't have to do. Also she's apart of a label and I wouldn't be surprised if they hype this up to get the fans talking. I'm js tink isn't above having a relationship with her producer to benefit her career and get her places she wasn't before she got with him. Tink should have been on the breakfast club more than one time for multiple of her albums but they only had her on after HITMAKER produced her album.
