Zonnique Says T.I. Is “More Sensitive” To Daughters Following “Hymengate”

With her due date fast approaching, Zonnique Pullins is in full mommy-to-be mode. This is the singer’s first child with rapper boyfriend Bandhunta Izzy and it’s safe to say that her famous family is excited about the newest addition. Months ago, Zonnique surprised her stepfather T.I. with the news of her pregnancy, and while he was visibly taken aback, T.I. has since had time to allow the shock to dissipate.

Zonnique recently sat down virtually with Entetainment Tonight where she spoke about her family climate and how things are going in the Harris household. Last year, T.I.’s relationship with then-17-year-old daughter Deyjah Harris took center stage after he made comments about the teen’s gynecologist visits. The controversy that followed was dubbed “Hymengate,” and since that time, T.I. has publicly apologized to Deyjah for the embarrassment it may have caused her.

“That was definitely a big moment for everyone,” Zonnique said of how that moment shifted things for the family. “He’s definitely just been learning with the girls on how to handle certain things and how to go about certain things when it comes to us. I feel like it’s a lot of stuff he didn’t realize when it comes to a young girl’s feelings. So I feel like now he’s a little bit more careful. He just goes about everything a little bit differently now, definitely… He’s more sensitive with everything.”

“Their relationship has gotten better and they’ve both grown… He’s not overbearing in certain situations… He’s changed when it comes to Deyjah,” she added. “Their relationship is in a really good place, actually. It took a minute for them to get to this place, but I feel like they’re just doing really good.”

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
