The 39-year-old made the controversial comments during a recent appearance on US podcast Ladies Like Us after being asked if he openly discusses sex with his daughter.

In a response which stunned listeners, he replied: “Yes, not only have we had the conversation – we have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen.”

Demonstrating that he was being entirely serious, the father-of-six went on to reveal that he kickstarted the annual tradition after her 16th birthday.

“Right after her birthday, we celebrate, then usually like the day after the party, she’s enjoying the gifts, I put a sticky note on the door: ‘Tomorrow. 9:30,'” he continued.

Harris has yet to publicly address her dad’s divisive comments but it seems her social media movements say it all.

According to Instagram account Hollywood Unlocked, Harris has unfollowed the rapper on Instagram. Although it’s not certain when she hit the ‘unfollow’ button, fans believe it’s no coincidence in light of the recent comments he made.

She also no longer follows her mother, Tiny Harris, on the social media channel.

In further evidence to suggest she doesn’t agree with her father’s remarks, Harris recently liked a series of tweets describing his actions as “possessive” and “controlling”.

She also tweeted a not-so-subtle message to fans which read: ” “I loveeeeeee yalllllll”

It’s widely believed that the ‘two finger test’ is a way of determining whether or not someone is a virgin but the procedure bears no scientific evidence.

As per the World Health Organisation, “there is no examination that can prove a girl or woman has had sex – and the appearance of girl’s or woman’s hymen cannot prove whether they have had sexual intercourse, or are sexually active or not”.

In 2018, the United Nations called for an end to the tests describing them as a “medically unnecessary, and often a painful, humiliating and traumatic practice”.

In fact, the hymen can be damaged through a number of physical activites such as horseriding or swimming while some women aren’t born with the body part.

Responding to the now-viral story on Twitter, gynecologist Jennifer Gunter wrote a thread educating her followers on the hymen – dispelling common myths shrouding the widely misunderstood body part.

“The hymen is no virginity indicator, 50% of sexually active teens do not have a disrupted hymen,” she tweeted. “The hymen is often very flexible.”

“The hymen means nothing physically and hymen exams are medically not a thing and are unnecessary,” Gunter continued. “And support a disgusting patriarchal trope.”

Interestingly, T.I. isn’t interested in his 15-year-old son King’s sexual activities. During a June 2019 episode of the family’s reality television show, his son revealed he’s sexual active – which his father simply laughed off.
“I don’t want any of my children to have sex before it’s time for them, but who’s to say when it’s time?” he said. “However, I will definitely feel different about a boy than I will about a girl. And that’s just the god’s honest truth. I don’t think there’s any father out there who’ll tell you any different.”
