T.I. is letting his loved ones know just how important they are to him.
The tragic death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant on Sunday, Jan. 26 has proved devastating for many, including rapper T.I.
The “Go Get It” artist took to Instagram on Sunday night and posted a photo collage of himself with his daughter Deyjah Harris and his stepdaughter Zonnique Pullins. He apologized to his children for any embarrassment or shame he may have caused them. Particularly, his 18-year-old daughter Deyjah, who was forced into the limelight after the rapper revealed last November that they take visits to the gynecologist office together to make sure her hymen was intact. His controversial comments led to the teen deleting her social media accounts.
“I love you girls more than my vocabulary will allow me to express. You have grown so much right before my very eyes & blossomed into strong, brilliantly opinionated, independent young women,” the father of six wrote. “Please forgive me for any and all imperfections that cause misunderstandings between us…. Charge my mind,not my heart. … I just Can’t let another second go by without letting you know while we’re still here in this life together…. You have ALL MY LOVE FOR ALL MY LIFE…&AFTER!!”
Several fans empathized with T.I. and poured in with their comments.
“❤️🙏🏽 wow very strong words we need more of them ❤️ #realdad @troubleman31”
“This made me break in tears so heartfelt, beautiful words from a father to his daughters💙”
“You are a great father @troubleman31 🖤🖤🖤🖤🙏🏾 you have beautiful girls 🖤🖤 #blessed 🙏🏾”
Pullins, the daughter of T.I.’s wife Tiny Harris, reciprocated the love to her stepfather and commented, “I love you pops 🗣️💕”
T.I. also posted an adorable video of his and Tiny’s youngest daughter calming down from a tantrum to listen to Prince’s “Purple Rain.”
He not only expressed his love for his children, the rapper also let his wife know how much she means to him.
“I love you Mrs H. @majorgirl imperfections, misunderstandings and all,” T.I. wrote, attached with a photo of him and Tiny. “You Give me a thousand choices & I’d choose you every time. 🚫🧢 I couldn’t imagine living in a world without you…or leaving you and the kids to have to live without me.”
It’s clear Bryant’s death is having an emotional impact on T.I. and many others.
