Rapper T.I. has decided to leak a series of private text messages between himself and his daughter, Deyjah Harris, to give the world what it has been wondering about — the status of their relationship.
Tiny Harris‘s husband took the surprising decision to share the intimate details about their exchanges after The Shade Room reposted a series of tweets that his daughter had posted.
The famous celebrity website and Instagram page may have inaccurately assumed that Deyjah was using the tweets to still go after T.I. because she was still angry after he spoke publicly about her virginity and OBGYN visits.
Deyjah had this exchange with a fan, who was talking about Asian culture when she explained the following: “Watch how you speak to your children. I don’t care how old they are, and they still deserve the same respect that you expect in return.”
She went on to say: “I still love you .. but from a distance. not because I don’t care about you, but more so for the sake of my own well-being and inner peace.”
The young woman continued: “Yes, I know exactly what you mean and I hate that …. but the good thing about this generation is that we will all be much better parents and know what to do/say or what NOT to do/say to our children, no matter what age they are.”
T.I. was not pleased by the fact that his daughter’s messages had been reposted, so he expeditiously addressed the matter.
The reality TV star wrote: “@theshaderoom Y’all reaching. Every adult felt this way as an adolescent at some point in life. Only difference here is…she’s TI’s daughter. Let he LIVE Cuzz…. she finding her place in the world & doesn’t deserve to be under the microscope every step of the way. I can handle that pressure & I welcome it, so apply it to ME… leave her tf ALONE, please. Sincerely, A loving Father.”
To put an end to the long awkward conversation about hymengate, T.I. published an exchange between himself and his two children — Deyjah and Domani Harris.
In the messages, Deyjah said she is not a celebrity, and she should have the right to share her thoughts without being scrutinized.
asian culture really isn’t like this it’s your parents are always right and you don’t get a say because “you’re the child and i’m the parent” type of mentality https://t.co/o83EaSI3P1

Domani reminded her that she is the daughter of a famous man and that her words and actions will be dissected. The discussion concluded with T.I.P. showing love for his daughter and reassuring how to the best of his ability.
