T.I. takes the controlling - or mysogonistic - dad label to a whole new level. He revealed he takes his daughter, Deyjah Harris, to her yearly gynecologist exams to ensure her hymen is still intact. More inside…
There’s a lot to unpack here.
When it comes controlling dads, T.I. has everyone beat. And not in a good way.
The Paper Trail rapper sat down to chop it up on the “Life Hacks” episode of the “Ladies Like Us” podcast with Nazanin Mandi (Miguel’s wife) and makeup artist Nadia Moham. The ladies were asking Tip about his parenting skills – specifically how he handled the sex talk - when he revealed he goes an extra mile when it comes to his 18-year-old daughter, Deyjah Harris.
He shared he goes with Deyjah to the gynecologist every year to ensure she’s still a virgin.
“Have I? This is the thing. Deyjah’s 18, just graduated high school now and she’s attending her first year of college, figuring it out for herself,” he said. “And yes, not only have we had the conversation, we have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen.”
Wait, what? Tip said he’s very much involved when it comes to her pelvic exams, requesting the doctor to share the results with him. Bruh.
“So it’s this one time we go, I think this might have been after her 16th birthday. This is what we do. Right after the birthday we celebrate,” he said. “Usually like the day after the party she’s enjoying her gifts. I put a sticky note on the door: ‘Gyno. Tomorrow. 9:30.’ So we’ll go and sit down and the doctor will come and talk and the doctor’s maintaining a high level of professionalism. He’s like, ‘You know sir, I have to, in order to share information’ — I’m like, ‘Deyjah they want you to sign this so we can share information. Is there anything you wouldn’t want me to know? See doc? No problem.’
He continued, “And so then they come and say, ‘Well I just want you to know that there are other ways besides sex that the hymen can be broken like bike riding, athletics, horseback riding and just other forms of athletic physical activity.’ So I say, ‘Look doc, she don’t ride no horses, she don’t ride no bike, she don’t play no sports. Just check the hymen please and give me back my results expeditiously.'”
The "Ready For Whatever" rapper hasn’t received any news he wasn’t pleased with…yet.
“I will say as of her 18th birthday, her hymen is still intact.”
In Tip’s mind, he believes the fact his daughter is a virgin would more so keep guys away from her because he said virgins are “no fun.” Oh?
“They’re no fun. Who wants a virgin?” he asked. “Like really? All that work.”
Wow, Tip. Just wow. And if you aren't telling your own sons to stay away from sticking their penises in girls, you can REALLY keep this.

You can listen to the interview here, starting at the 43-minute mark.
What’s interesting is that on the last season of “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle,” Tip’s wife Tiny Harris couldn’t believe her & Tip's son King Harris – who’s still in high school – wasn’t a virgin. We wonder if the Kang of the South is tagging along on doctor visits with his sons, trying to find a way to check their virginity and drill into their heads to stay virgins forever. Basically, he wants his daughter to stay from being a sexual being while his sons can have sex with other people’s daughters. Welcome to the patriarchy.
Folks are going off on Twitter about T.I.’s parenting choices:
...TI done lost his goddamn mind. Talking about he goes to the gynecologist w/ his 18 yr old daughter to make sure she’s still a virgin and her hymen is still in tact. What the fuck is this man on?! pic.twitter.com/SNQLQSi4DP

If any toxic, ashy unwashed assholes wanna defend TI for violating his adult daughters autonomy, you should know you’re a trash person who is thoroughly broken on the inside. pic.twitter.com/KjnBHrqnER

TI that once had hood twins, as in children born the same quarter of the year from different mothers, is checking his daughters hymen annually. I don't even have the words.

TI allegedly going to the gynecologist with his daughter to ensure her hymen is intact is invasive and abusive. Especially when an intact hymen doesn't conclude the absence of vaginal penetration;and an absence of the hymen doesn't conclude that consensual sex occured.

And WHY WOULD TI ADMIT THAT SHIT PUBLICLY? Your daughter is 18 & in college, now all her personal business is out there. She must be embarrassed that everyone knows her medically deemed sexual status. TI is trash & I feel a kind of way that he worked w/ Cardi bc I know he has-

Controlling in this way a girl's sexuality is doing more harm than good. It reeks of misogony, it takes away her bodily autonomy, it makes her ashamed of her body and sexuality, and wanting her to suddenly wake up at 50 and be able to handle sexual situations perfectly is just silly. Focus on raising children with self respect, and Deyjah seemingly has plenty, and they will appropriately choose who they share THEIR body with and when, especially when they're over 18. A man - father or not - dictating via shame when/if/how a woman has sex is unnecessary misogony.
Thoughts?
