Rapper/singer Teyana Taylor got extra personal during a radio interview telling the world that she is a virgin. The 18-year-old responded to rumors that she is gay by announcing that she's saving herself. "The one thing people can never say is that I'm a hoe. I have a purity ring," she said. "The only time you get in trouble is if you attempt to do something. If you're lying up on a boy then something is going to happen. So I just keep my legs closed until I am ready for that. I can't have a boyfriend because the only thing they want to do is have sex."The singer also holds a bible study at St. Luke's Church in Harlem on the matter. "I actually teach the class because I want them to know its okay to praise God and keep your legs closed," she said. "I'm just trying to be a good example right now. I want to be a good example. I'm a lady and I think people respect that."
Taylor's name has also been in the blogosphere because of her close friendships with Chris Brown and Soulja Boy, but she says they're all just friends. Following his assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Taylor was one of the first people to come to throw her support behind the singer when many in the entertainment industry stayed mum. "I don't condone what he did. It's never right to hit a woman but I'm [going to] be by his side anyway."
Since appearing on the 'My Super Sweet 16' reality series on MTV, Taylor signed to Pharrell Williams StarTrak label and is working on her delayed debut release 'From a Planet Called Harlem.'

Is there no way to stop all of this advertising crap in the comments section? This is getting ridiculous.

I totally agree *radicaltomato*. Here I sit looking for a reply, and it looks more like 'Advertisements, and Biographies'! Ahh Punn intended *Christiancaleb*. This girl has morals and total respect for herself. How many can we say don't? Keep up the good work, maybe you can influence some of our young ones out there, who are under to much peer pressure. By the way all you advertisers, "Can you not read the statement under add comment? It ask that you keep your comments RELEVANT to the Blg Entry. Duh!

Good for her! Yes, I understand her English is not the greatest, but it is refreshing to hear young people who are good role models for their peers!

I respect it.
I hope my daughters do the same thing.
Iwaited until I was almost 22 years old.
Finally got married and enjoyed sex the
way we were meant to. Both my fiancee
and I committed to waitingand we did
together. It is so much easier to do
it when you have support.

Amen to that, sister! Glad to see a celeb who shares the same views as I do!

So pelliright12 you have nothing nice to say about her trying to be a good person and a decent role model for our kids. You can only find negativity in the language that she used, and we wonder why some one with good morals is the exception nowadays.
