Jada Pinkett Smith will soon be sitting down with T.I. to address the rapper’s recent controversial comments regarding his daughter’s virginity.

“My next big guest is Tip. T.I. is coming to the table. Yes indeed,” Pinket Smith revealed. “And of course, he’s going to address the controversy that has been swirling.”
T.I. has been taking a lot of heat over comments he made on a recent episode of the Ladies Like Us podcast last week, where the 39-year-old rapper told hosts Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham that he has “yearly trips to the gynecologist” with his 18-year-old daughter, Deyjah, “to check her hymen.”
The podcast episode has since been deleted in the wake of the backlash. The rapper’s daughter subsequently unfollowed him on Instagram and then she deactivated all her social media accounts this past weekend.
