After facing intense backlash earlier this month for stating that he goes to the gynecologist with his teenage daughter each year to check her hymen, rapper T.I. defended himself this week during an appearance on the Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk. T.I. told host Jada Pinkett Smith that he thinks a false narrative about his comments has been sensationalized but he also defended his choice to protect his daughter from the little slimy, grimy, chubby-fingered little boys who want to just come and defile and destroy the sanctity that I have.
The rapper made the initial comments during an episode of the podcast Ladies Like Us, which was released earlier this month. T.I. was speaking with hosts Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham about parenting when he was asked about whether hes had the sex talk with his daughters, BuzzFeed News reported.
The rapper, who has six children, brought up how he handles the discussion with his oldest daughter, 18-year-old Deyjah Harris.
Not only have we had the conversation. We have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen, T.I. said, according to BuzzFeed. Yes, I go with her. He also informed the podcast hosts, as well as their listeners, that as of her 18th birthday, her hymen is still intact.
His original comments faced swift backlash on social media. Idk who needs to hear this but virginity is a made-up social construct, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your hymen, tweeted Planned Parenthood in a long thread. This is horrible on so many levels, tweeted prominent gynecologist Jennifer Gunter.

At least he is trying to be a father, which is more than can be said than most in his profession.
are just like you were at that age, T.I. Yep, he knows exactly what he's talking about.
Must be humiliating when your daughters cooch is trending 50
times over anything you ever produced.
At least your daughter found somthing that humiliates her more then your career.
That isnt really trying to be anything but a weird perv. I’m seriously like WTF reading this article.
Hell even I know that a hymen can be “broken” from stuff like riding a bike or when a female uses a menstrual product.
What would have he done if it was cracked?
“18-year-old Deyjah Harris.”
EIGHTEEN?
Since Kant, and his followers,the dominant idea about reality is that it is unknowable by reason and what we think is real is all made up by the mind, and only appears to be real. They only disagree about whether it is each individual who creates reality with his mind or society.
Talk about being embarrassed by your dad.
Frankly, if this weird and controlling behaviour is his idea of parenting she would be better off with a deadbeat absent father.
Is it a coincidence you bring this famous philosopher name into THIS particular and important discussion?
Nobody ever hit Immanuel Kant in the face with a brick.
“The sanctity that I have”
You mean the sanctity that SHE has. He obviously ain’t a virgin or he wouldn’t have a daughter in the first place.
Is he Moslim?
Question: How do you stay relevant when your music is mediocre? How do you get people to want to look up your music online since nobody is actually listening to you?
Answer: You try to get people to attack you. If you can do so while trying to maintain any sort of religious high ground (especially if your music fails to toe that particular line) all the better.
The daughter IMO needs to launch her own career if she has even a modicum of talent. She could reprise Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” and get the last laugh on dad.
He looks pretty into the ego thing just looking at the intro to that video “Whatever You Want.” Plus, just how egotistical do you have to be for say that this is about the sanctity that “HE” has? No problem at all with discussing his daughter’s lady parts very publicly or having anyone who hears thinking of her in that way. Nope. This is about a celebration of him.
One cure for that might be for his daughter to eclipse whatever fame he has gained and to show him up musically. I would love to see her do so and show this guy, and anyone who agrees with him in the music world that young ladies are people, not chattel.
1 - a hymen can break without the female having engaged in sexual intercourse; and
2 - he's wrong to publicize this very personal medical information about his daughter.
T.U. is anti-Semitic.
T.I. is anti-Semitic.
Not good ...I have a wonderful SNL by the name of Buster.
SNL?
