Harris has yet to publicly address her father’s commments.

Deyjah Harris has unfollowed her father T.I. on social media after he revealed he goes with the 18-year-old to yearly gynecologist appointments to “check her hymen” to make sure its “still intact.”

In a report from E! News, Harris no longer follows T.I. on Instagram. Hollywood Unlocked also showed a post on its Instagram account revealing the 18-year-old also no longer follows Tiny or Zonnique Pullins on Instagram. Harris still follows Tiny on Twitter, though.)

T.I. made the controversial comments during an appearance on the Ladies Like Us podcast.

“So we’ll go and sit down and the doctor comes and talk, and the doctor’s maintaining a high level of professionalism. He’s like, ‘You know, sir, I have to, in order to share information’ — I’m like, ‘Deyjah, they want you to sign this so we can share information. Is there anything you would not want me to know? See, Doc? Ain’t no problem,'” the rapper said.

Following his details on how their office visits go, he added that he’s well aware that hymen can be broken in other ways than through sexual penetration. On this topic he said: “And so then they come and say, ‘Well, I just want you to know that there are other ways besides sex that the hymen can be broken like bike riding, athletics, horseback riding, and just other forms of athletic physical activity.'” In response he reportedly said, “So I say, ‘Look, Doc, she don’t ride no horses, she don’t ride no bike, she don’t play no sports. Just check the hymen, please, and give me back my results expeditiously.'”

Following the responses from social media users, Harris began liking responses on her personal Twitter account that have called T.I. out. Harris has yet to publicly address her father’s commments.
