Rapper T.I. faced backlash this week for saying he goes to the gynecologist with his daughter, Deyjah, to "check her hymen."
"We have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen. Yes, I go with her," he said.
People immediately called out the rapper for being controlling and for humiliating his daughter:
asking a doctor to check your daughter to see if she has been having sex is humiliating & sick af. & you can’t even always tell by a broken hymen. you can break your hymen by hurting yourself on a bike seat.
This hymen talk is very strange and at the core of it teaches your daughters their bodies aren’t theirs. Don’t do that.
Since T.I.'s comments went viral, Deyjah has tweeted, saying she loves her supporters:
i loveeeeeee yalllllll🥺
@Stout_901 That is just beyond possessive
As well as this tweet that said, "[T.I.] telling the world your personal business medically and your choices as a woman to do or not do a personal and special moment in your life is never right."
@yafavdeyj I hope your truly ok. Him telling the world your personal business medically and your choices as a woman to do or not do a personal and special moment in your life is never right.
Sending you good vibes, Deyjah. Hang in there.
