Overview

T.I. Checking Daughter's Hymen Controversy refers to statements made by American rapper T.I. regarding his daughter's virginity on the Ladies Like Us in November 2019. T.I. revealed that he accompanies his daughter, Deyjah Harris to the gynecologist each year to see if her hymen is still intact. Many Twitter users spoke out against T.I.'s approach to his daughters sex-life saying it's an invasion of privacy and reinforces outdated notions of purity.

Background

On November 5th, 2019, Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham interview T.I. in their Ladies Like Us [1] podcast episode "Life Hacks." During the episode, T.I. was asked if he'd had the "sex talk with his daughter" 18 year-old Deyjah Harris to which he explained that he accompanies his daughter to the gynecologist to check if her hymen is still intact.[2] On November 6th, Twitter user @race_jones[4] tweeted a Madamenoire[3] article on the matter with a short transcript of the conversation. The tweet garnered over 7,900 likes and 1,400 retweets in a day.

Various Examples


Kimmy @levi_lavi VERY creepy. Not to mention ignorant since hymen can be broken in many different ways, not just sex Or physical activities, sometimes even by itself. Not to mention some stay intact despite rigorous activities. And of course he wouldn't listen to the doctor LOL @MadameNoire Nov 6 MadameNoire T.I. shares that he goes to the gynecologist every year with daughter Deyjah to ensure her hymen is still intact bit.ly/2WTOye3 11:43 AM Nov 6, 2019 Twitter Web App patrisha @patrishaluxe asking a doctor to check your daughter to see if she has been having sex is humiliating & sick af & you can't even always tell by a broken hymen. you can break your hymen by hurting yourself on a bike seat. 8:40 AM - 6 Nov 2019 @sweetseducingdy This hymen talk is very strange and at the core of it teaches your daughters their bodies aren't theirs. Don't do that 8:47 AM - 6 Nov 2019 ig: honeymoonsoul @briaruffen I'm gonna need everyone, especially men, to let go of this "viriginity/hymen/purity" concept. It's outdated, let it go. Virginity is made up. It doesn't exist. Shut the f--- up. Χ™Χ™ 8:48 AM -6 Nov 2019 Planned Parenthood @PPFA Some people think you can tell if someone's had sex before if their hymen is stretched open. But that's not the case Say it with us: YOU CAN'TTELL IF SOMEONE'S SEX HAD BY THE WAY THEIR HYMEN LOOKS OR FEELS 4:10 PM Nov 6, 2019 Twitter Web App

Fun fact: an intact hymen doesn't mean you're a virgin, and a broken one doesn't mean you've had sex. Not only is this a disgusting invasion of privacy, it's a disgusting invasion of privacy based on misinformation.
