Tameka “Tiny” Harris is playing the world’s tiniest violin for Deyjah Harris after the teen was humiliated by her father’s eye-raising comments about her hymen.
The wife of T.I. took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a photo of herself and the rapper when she was ambushed by an unsettled fan who wanted an update on Deyjah’s well being following her dad’s gross gyno anecdote.
Tiny, for her part, wasn’t on the platform to discuss the topic. She captioned the photo:
“Mi amor por siempre…”
But when a follower asked if her step-daughter was okay following the controversy — noting that fans “care” about her — the 44-year-old couldn’t even be bothered to respond with words: her answer was a series of rolling eyes emojis.

Sounds like Tiny thinks Deyjah’s passionate supporters need to chill out — but that’s going to be hard, seeing as their family drama has been publicly debated over the past week.
As we reported, it all began last week when the 39-year-old rapper said on an episode of the Ladies Like Us podcast that he attends his 18-year-old daughter’s gynecologist appointments to “check her hymen” in an effort to make sure she’s still a virgin.
He then recalled one particular visit that took place after her 16th birthday, telling hosts Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham:
“Right after the birthday, we celebrate…usually the day after the party, she’s enjoying her gifts, I put a sticky note on the door, ‘Gyno, tomorrow, 9:30.’ We’ll go and sit down, and the doctor will come and talk, and you know, the doctors maintain a high level of professionalism. He’s like, ‘Well, you know sir, in order for me to share information…’ I say, ‘Deyjah they want you to sign this…so we can share information. Is there anything that you would not want me to know?'”
The revelation drew the ire of social media, with many critics calling T.I.’s actions “controlling” and “disgusting.” Not to mention emotionally violating and abusive! One of these critics was the rapper’s former protégé, Iggy Azalea, who wrote in a since-deleted tweet:
“Really I wish the women who interviewed him would have said something to him. He has serious control issues with women in all aspects of his life and needs therapy.”
The podcast hosts eventually took down the episode and apologized for their “knee jerk reaction to the uncomfortable topic.”
Meanwhile, Deyjah tweeted “I loveeeeeee yalllllll” in response to the flood of support from her followers and, days later, unfollowed both her father and Tiny on Instagram.
T.I. has yet to publicly eyeroll over his remarks.
