Rapper T.I. faces backlash on Twitter
Clifford Harris, known by his popular name Rapper T.I., told in a podcast how he escorts Deyjah Harris, his 18-year-old daughter to the doctor's office after her birthday to get her hymen checked. He further revealed that after her last birthday party ended, he stuck a note on her door reminding her about her visit to the gynaecologist. Reports also say that the gynaecologist he visited, explained to him that there were several other ways a hymen could break- such as riding a bike, horseback riding or other physical activities. However, Rapper T.I. stubbornly asked the doctor to give him the results. Reports add that the episode of the Ladies Like US podcast was released on Tuesday, November 5, but was scraped off on Wednesday afternoon after it went viral on social media.
Here’s how netizens have slammed Rapper T.I for his revelation
Reacting to his statements, one of the users on Twitter wrote that he would pray for Rapper T.I to have a hearty dose of karma. Responding to the story on Twitter, California OB/GYN Jen Gunter said it was 'horrible' and provided an in-depth explanation of why the hymen is not a valid way to gauge a woman’s virginity.

#RapperTI says he goes to the gynecologist with his daughter to 'check her hymen' - what a misogynistic SOB! She's 18 and an adult but he still holds her prisoner to his #MedievalMindset https://t.co/A6RSMivnZt

Dear parents of teens:

Teens have rights. They are entitled to confidential healthcare regarding sexuality. I don’t care if you’re an unknown rapper, your daughter’s gyn report is not your business or your right.
