‘Is Deyjah Okay?’: Tiny Harris Rolls Her Eyes After Fans Ask About Stepdaughter in Couple Pic With T.I.

It looks like Tiny Harris isn’t here for fans apparently sticking their noses in her family business.

The Harris family, including rapper T.I. himself, has been mute on social media following his “hymen” comments he made regarding his 18-year-old daughter Deyjah Harris last week. Tiny, however, took to Instagram on Tuesday evening and posted a couple picture of her and her husband standing outside of their Atlanta home, dressed in Mexican-inspired ponchos.

In the photo, the “Whatever You Like” rapper placed his arm on his wife’s shoulder as he gazed into the camera. Tiny smiled big with T.I. by her side and added in her caption, “Mi amor por siempre… 👑💘😻🥰”

Several fans flooded the couple’s post with comments gushing over their love.

“💯 ✨ loving the look 💞 that’s what twenty year’s do 😍😉 love y’all together. “

“I honestly love y’all relationship and if more black couples could take a page of knowledge from you guys 😍😘 power couple”

Others probed the mother of four about the latest controversy surrounding her family and stepdaughter Deyjah.

“Is Deyjah okay? We care…

“Your husband literally embarrassed her in front of millions. I’m just checking on babygirl 🤷🏽🤷🏽”

Tiny responded to the inquirers with three rolling eye emojis and never added anything else.

Her post comes shortly after the 39-year-old rapper said he attended Deyjah’s gynecologist appointments to “check her hymen” during his interview on the “Ladies Like Us” podcast last week.

When asked if he had the “sex talk” with his daughters, T.I. responded, “Have I? We go … Deyjah’s 18, just graduated high school, now she’s attending her first year of college, figuring it out for herself. And, yes, not only have we had the conversation … we have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen.”

He also recalled asking the doctor to “just check the hymen please and give me back my results, expeditiously.”

The father of six’s comments were met with backlash and uproar from social media users. Deyjah has yet to speak on her father’s remarks, but she did apparently unfollow him, Tiny and others from her family. T.I. has yet to address to the controversy.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
