TI’s daughter, Deyjah reacts following hymen check saga

Recall that a few days ago, TI caused a furor on social media by saying during the Ladies Like Us podcast that he goes to the gynecologist with his daughter, Deyjah every year to check that her hymen is still intact.

He said:

“Right after the birthday, we celebrate…usually the day after the party, she’s enjoying her gifts, I put a sticky note on the door, ‘Gyno, tomorrow, 9:30,’” T.I. told the co-hosts of the podcast.

“We’ll go and sit down and the doctor will come and talk, and you know, the doctors maintain a high level of professionalism. He’s like, ‘Well, you know sir, in order for me to share information…’ I say, ‘Deyjah they want you to sign this…so we can share information. Is there anything that you would not want me to know?’

“I said, ‘Look doc, she don’t ride no horses, she don’t ride no bike, she don’t play no sports, man, just check the hymen please and give me back my results, expeditiously,” T.I. said, laughing. “But I will say, as of her 18th birthday, her hymen is still intact.”

His post sparked a lot of backlash from social media users who claimed he was policing his daughter’s body and called his actions wrong.

Celebrities like Chrissy Tiegen and Iggy Azalea also joined their voices to the criticism.

It was so bad, in fact, that the hosts of the podcast had to release a statement apologizing for not reacting “rightly” to the situation.

“There was absolutely no ill intent towards any party involved & feel deeply awful about the entire incident. We are not perfect, take full accountability of our lack of action & are continuously learning along the way,” they wrote in a joint statement on Instagram.

Although Deyjah stayed quiet throughout the drama, she did like some tweets calling her father’s actions and his statements “disgusting,” “possessive,” and “controlling”.

Now, she has unfollowed her family on Instagram in the aftermath of the events.

She has stopped following her father, TI, her stepmother, Tiny, and her stepsister, Zonnique Pullins on Instagram, according to Hollywood Unlocked.
