Do you believe the Sabrina Peterson allegations?

And I just found out that TI does a virginity check on his daughter... that shit made me say 'hold up' out loud. I don't even understand how that is legal?

Well I believe the daughter that TI did the virginity check on is the one that just gave birth soooo.....

Also, it has been public knowledge that they indulge in 3 somes and do drugs so that wasn't news to me BUUUUUT inviting underage girls who cannot consent and forcing them to do drugs sounds like they're on the same road down as R Kelly.

bfp2 · 29/01/2021 19:53

I think Zonnique is TI's step-daughter, it was his other daughter Deyjah that he was doing the virginity check on. The man makes me sick! I have no idea about these other allegations though, but nothing would surprise me about that man. kmt

yetmorenamechanging · 29/01/2021 20:09

He didn't deny it. I think he said that it was his right as her father or something, then withdrew the statement when it blew up. He certainly didn't say "HELL NO! THATS ABUSIVE, I'D NEVER DO THAT!" or similar in a way you'd do if you hadn't been doing it.

I am finding all of difficult to process. I am.not surprised by all of it. It's interesting how they said it was tiny who was like the madam. This also makes me feel uneasy becuase of an episode of real house wives of atlanta with kandi.and her sex dungeon and Porscha talking about how kandi talked about it or what she said. I am connecting the two becuase tiny and kandi were in the same girl group. This is also something that has apparently been going on for a long time. All of this allegedly.

debbrianna · 29/01/2021 22:23

Yes! T.I does take his daughter often for check ups. Very intrusive..and for the most sexist reason you can imagine. I also, it's the same daughter who just gave birth.

Yes I definitely believe the TI and Tiny thing. People have been talking about it for years. And they all sharing similar stories about the drug taking and threesomes. The Atlanta community has been talking about those two for years and how they take advantage of people and how bad things get when they sour. Most people were shocked that they were given a family show and that was ages ago.

I don't necessarily believe Kandi's involved. Kandi doesn't have that reputation at all despite being quite sexually liberal. I think Phaedra specifically chose that rumour because of the open secret of Tip and Tiny's antics and knew it would stick and be quite possible as Tiny and Kandi are quite close, so definitely Porsha would believe this was true as Tip and Tiny have been known to drug people and assault them. That is why Landi was so quick to shut it down with her legal team as she knew the association people would make with her connection with Tiny.

That being said, I always leave room for doubt. You can't vouch for anybody innocence.

Dastardlythefriendlymutt · 30/01/2021 03:35

As for the virginity tests 🤮🤮🤢

Men like this are always the ones with dubious standards with women, predators and abusers in relationships.

bluebluezoo · 30/01/2021 04:12

Isn’t it normal in the US for women to have a yearly appointment for a gynae exam from their 18th birthday, if not before?

I’ve always wondered what the point is, smears aren’t needed that often and it’s pretty invasive.

Possibly he is asking the dr about virginity after these routine exams? Even then it’s none of his business. It’s not as if you can definitively tell anyway...

debbrianna · 30/01/2021 08:59

I believe phaedra when she said it came from the producers. I think backfired by not going the way it was planned

debbrianna · 30/01/2021 09:03

It was definitely to check her virginity.

"T.I.’s daughter Deyjah Harris has opened up about how it felt to hear her father publicly discuss making “yearly trips to the gynaecologist” to check the status of her virginity.

Last year, the rapper received widespread criticism after revealing he would attend appointments with his daughter to “check her hymen” and make sure it’s “still intact”.

NattyDiamondDoll · 30/01/2021 09:04

I stopped following TI on Instagram a while ago due to his views on his daughters virginity which are horrifying outdated and sexist. I can understand a father not wanting his daughter to be taken advantage of or to sleep around (although even then its their choice not his) but he just seemed so creepy. Not sure what to make about these allegations but there is usually no smoke without fire.

debbrianna · 30/01/2021 12:04

The phaedra debacle us building steam online. If it's true and if all comes out. This is going to be the biggest sex scandle the black american community have seen in a long time. That community is huge.

One of the people talking about tiny is Kandi's friend 🤔

SkedaddIe · 31/01/2021 14:06

I definitely believe it too @Dastardlythefriendlymutt and I'm shocked it isn't a bigger controversy. I'm late and only found out because I was talking about TI with a friend at work

I came home thinking I had some breaking news until wife said she done knew already and she done told me about it years ago, I think she found out via lipstick alley or RHOA. I feel a bit bad that I didn't pay attention because it's crazy how people can get away with stuff like that because people just don't care enough, like R Kelly part 2. I don't watch RHOA and I probably switched off after I heard "remember that woman from Xscape"

SkedaddIe · 31/01/2021 14:18

Thanks for the link @debbrianna I'm definitely late to know cause I'm not on SM much. I'm still a bit in shock because I respected TI for trying to turn around his life after prison and putting it into his music too. I thought he was a stand up guy and then I looked stupid when I was told nah he drugs up children and stalks his own daughter to make sure someone else don't do the same to her.

Dastardlythefriendlymutt · 31/01/2021 18:30

Yeah. I do hope they face punishment for their actions. Money should give you the right to act with impunity.

I liked TI a lot when I was in my teens but the streets be talking so I just lost interest. Especially hearing the same story over and over again. I was genuinely shocked he was given a family show as his bad behaviour was widely known.

A good chunk of the black american communities don’t follow or care for them anyway. They’re irrelevant for many of us.

debbrianna · 31/01/2021 21:06

They may not care for them but if in less than 5 days 30+ women have come forward with being drugged, raped and sex trafficked. If they all decide to take them to court, it is big news (if it's not, we should ask ourselves, why?). Secondly, he has been at the fore front for black lives matter. Being very political. Coming from Atlanta, he is considered intelligent among his peers and in the rap world.

The reason why I am saying that it will be very big, it is becuase I don't think it will stop with him and his wife. It will have a chain, if investigated properly. I hope it is big news, if not, then we surely don't care very much about what happens to black women.

It probably will go the way of R.Kelly tbh. That was a big scandal when it first happened as was Bill Cosby, but will it change anything, I would like to say yes, but unfortunately I don’t think it will. I’m still struggling how anyone can support him after what he was doing to his own daughter. If he’s willing to do that to his own child, what else would he do?

Your damn right it’s non of his business. What about confidentiality and privacy.

I think this would create serious issues in the future Shock

debbrianna · 05/02/2021 08:59

Metoo and times up have now teamed up to offer legal help. Not only for those causing tiny and T.I but also other celebrities.
They have also written a letter in support of those coming forward.

debbrianna · 02/03/2021 12:20

It looks like this is developing into a possible court case.

Weeks after accusations of sexual abuse and assault against the rapper T.I. and his wife, Tameka Harris, started circulating on social media, a lawyer has approached law enforcement authorities in two states seeking criminal inquiries, on behalf of 11 people who said they were victimized by the couple or members of their entourage.

MrWendel · 02/03/2021 12:30

The #MeToo movement in hip-hop etc is going to be horrific. We have started to see things with R Kelly but there must be so much more to come out.

Part of me suspects that Tiny had to embrace that attitude that a lot of females in these circles continue to promote, being sexually adventurous and open to threesomes/bisexual, in order to save face when their men were cheating. Kind of a 'if you can't beat them, join them'. Cardi B did this very recently with Offset, caught on camera talking to Offset (about to leave the house for clubbing) with all the "bring a pretty bitch back for me" rubbish...

We don't really have glamorous Black (female) celebs here in the UK, and there are lots of young people who follow the US scene quite closely.

SkedaddIe · 03/03/2021 09:13

I agree @debbrianna @MrWendel it's gonna be horrific especially since the media loves a black villain. But one side of me thinks it's needed no matter the fallout, so black teen girls get more support and protection from older men.

My experience is that we think paedophiles are weird white men. But then dismiss our teenage girls who get preyed on by older black men. He met her at a dance... she acts grown, she is grown... Etc... SMDH
