T.I. Explains Why He Treats His Daughters and Sons DifferentlyFew can forget the “hymen-gate” scandal of November 2019. The controversy involved Atlanta-bred rapper and thesaurus-enthusiast T.I., who went on a podcast and made claims that he urges his 18-year-old daughter Deyjah’s gynecologist to check her hymen, in order to ensure her virginity is intact. Shortly after, he was chastised for this gross invasion of privacy, overstepped parental boundaries and straight-up ignorance about the female reproductive system both online and on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk.
