‘Finally the Truth’: T.I.’s Daughter Deyjah Harris Reveals How She Really Feels About Her Father’s ‘Hymen’ Remarks

It looks like Deyjah Harris is finally telling her side of things after her father T.I. made some interesting comments about her virginity last year.

Last November, the “Live Your Life” rapper admitted to going to his 18-year-old daughter’s gynecologist’s appointments with her to confirm that her hymen was still “intact” to ensure she was a virgin.

“So we’ll go and sit down and the doctor will come and talk and the doctor’s maintaining a high level of professionalism,” T.I. told the “Ladies Like Us” podcast hosts. “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? Oh, ok. See doc, no problem.’”

After receiving major backlash from social media users, the rapper eventually apologized for his comments. Deyjah, on the other hand, remained mute until now.

On the new season of “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle,” the teenager finally broke her silence about her father’s remarks and how it impacted her. She said in the new trailer, “After all of this, it’s changed, honestly.” Her stepmother and T.I.’s wife, Tiny Harris, said that her husband “has a way of taking things a little too far.” Another scene showed T.I. saying that nobody can tell him how to “raise” his children.

The father of six later apologized to his daughter for his comments on Jada Pinkett Smith‘s “Red Table Talk.”

“She did have a problem with me talking about it and I understand that and I am incredibly apologetic to her for that,” he said on the Facebook series.

Despite T.I. apologizing to his daughter, fans are looking forward to hearing Deyjah’s side of things.

“Poor Deyjah, Tip so incredibly narcissistic it’s disgusting. I’m waiting to see what she says. We finally get to her side of the truth  🗣”

“Only story I wanna hear is Deyjah’s … Your story always the same TI 😭 “

“Idc hes sick to me. It’s cool if you don’t want her having sex young but at some point you have to realise you’re just shaming her. and it’s probably damaging their relationship, cos if anything ever happens to her he’s gonna be the last person she tells”

“Oop mama tip wasn’t with it 😩 no one is telling him how to parent they just saying don’t tell your kids business to the world 🙄”

“This is going to drag out forever I feel bad for his daughter bc that was really unnecessary. I wanna hear what she gone say”

“Friends and Family Hustle” airs on VH1 on Monday, April 13 at 9 p.m. ET.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
