*The 18-year-old daughter of rapper T.I. has finally addressed the controversial comments he made about her virginity last year.
T.I. caught some serious heat for claiming that he takes daughter Deyjah Harris to the gynecologist annually to “check her hymen” to ensure that it is still “intact.”
He later appeared on Red Table Talk and explained to Jada Pinkett-Smith that his comment was actually a joke that went way too far, Gossip On This reported.
“So, I just began to, from a place of truth, I began to embellish and exaggerate, and I think that a lot of people took it extremely literal,” he said at the table.
In a new trailer of “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle,” Harris appears to address her father’s messy moment at her expense, saying to the camera, “After all of this, it’s changed honestly.”
The trailer also shows her step-mother Tiny Harris noting that “Tip has a way of taking things a little too far.” T.I. later adds, “Ain’t nobody gonna tell me how to raise my children.”

During his episode of “Red Table Talk,” T.I. explained that Deyjah’s mother, R&B singer Ms. Niko, was always present during her OBGYN visits and that he’s never been in the room with Deyjah while she’s undergoing an exam. He has, however, been informed about the results. He also noted that Deyjah had “no objection” to him accompanying her to appointments, but admitted that she was embarrassed he made public a private matter.
“I understand it and I am incredibly apologetic to her,” T.I. said. “Not to any of these other strangers or any of these weirdos who toss lies around for free,” he added.
“My daughter said, ‘Let it go, don’t say nothing, just let it go,’ and I didn’t [say anything] … Until I had different directives. ‘Okay, go ahead, make it stop. Clear it up.’ I would not be here today had I not had those different directives. I’d still be sitting in silence.”
Following T.I.‘s appearance on “Red Table Talk,” Ms. Niko, took to Instagram to share her reaction to the interview.
She posted a quote on her IG Story that read, “…WHEW CHILE, THE NARCISSISM…“
The new season of “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” airs on VH1 April 13 at 9 p.m. ET.
