Amahemuhemu ayemaningi kodwa kwathatha iminyaka engu-20 ukuthi iqiniso livele ngobuhlobo babo ngo-1977 ngesikhathi benza isehlukaniso. Iqiniso lokuhlukunyezwa u-Ike laqinisekiswa uTina ngokwakhe encwadini yakhe yango-1986 ethi-“I, Tina.”
Ngesikhathi umsebenzi kaTina uqala ikakhulukazi nge-albhamu yakhe ethi-Private Dancer ngo-1982, u-Ike akenzanga kahle kakhulu. Lona owayesebenzisa i-cocaine walahlwa icala lokwephula umthetho ngenxa yezidakamizwa futhi wadonsa izinyanga ezingu-18 ejele. Washona ngenxa yezidakamizwa ngo-2007.

Kodwa-ke, uTina waphikelela ekuboneni uhlangothi oluhle lwempilo njengoba kufakazelwa ezincwadini zakhe ethi-“My Love Story” kanye nethi-“Happiness Becomes You.”
Kodwa-ke, kwabakhona ukukhanya noshintsho empilweni yakhe. UTina wathola uthando
