Cardi B also spoke about her admiration for the two rap idols several months after filming the hit show, as she expressed that she was always quick to identify with them at every opportunity, referring to them as her brothers.

Following her acknowledgment of their family bond, she also divulged her support for her brother-in-rhythm, who recently got into a frenzy after admitting that he was always present at his daughter's gynecological appointments just to ascertain her virginity.

"If they wrong or right, that's my brother, and that's that."

The Atlanta rapper on his part took kindly to the backlash, with an intent to address his statement during "The Red Table Talk" show with Jada and Pinkett Smith on November 25.

IS T.I THE OVERPROTECTIVE FATHER?

Earlier this month, the rap icon graced the podcast, "Ladies Like Us," where he addressed issues about the challenges of raising a teenage daughter. When asked if he has had the sex talk with his eighteen-year-old, the artist divulged the details of how involved he was with his daughter's sexual life or the non-existence.

He told his interviewers that every year, he went along with Deyjah for a gynecologist's appointment to check if her hymen was still intact.

Following his revelation, the star faced lots of criticisms from fans, who thought the whole process was an intrusion on the teenager's human rights, which sparked debates across online platforms.

With his fellow hip hop artist on his side, the rapper would hopefully slip out of this one unscathed. Fingers crossed until the artist speaks out on the Facebook show with Jada Pinkett.
