In the initial interview with DJ Whoo Kid, T.I. had explained his resistance to a woman in office by saying “women make rash decisions emotionally — they make very permanent, cemented decisions — and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke.”
