- In a recent episode of "T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle," Deyjah opened up about how she felt about her father's comments.

Rapper T.I. made headlines and even prompted New York state to consider a ban on "virginity testing" after he made comments about accompanying his 18-year-old daughter, Deyjah Harris, to gynecology appointments to check if her hymen was intact.
In a recent episode of reality TV show "T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle," Deyjah admitted how she felt about her father's statement. She explained she found out about her father's comments via social media during a family vacation out of the country.
"Things are completely uncomfortable for me right now," Deyjah said during a confessional interview in the episode "We're all together in this house, so I have to see my dad and be around him. And we're in a foreign country, so it's not like I can leave and get away."
Deyjah said she feels "very shocked, hurt, angry [and] embarrassed" by her dad's interview.
"I'm scrolling on Twitter, and I see that I've been tagged in a post," Deyjah said. The only word that I saw was 'gynecologist' and I didn't even need to read the whole title 'cause I just knew, my heart sank."
In a November episode of "Red Table Talk," T.I. said he was "oblivious" to how his comments would impact Harris.
Though he has since apologized, she admitted in the confessional their relationship is still different now.
"I'm not really gonna be able to get through to him [and] connect how I need to," Deyjah said. "I just don't really care to be around him right now. Our relationship, I'm gonna look at it differently."
"This situation is just a little traumatizing for me," she said as she held back tears.
