The last person I was having sex with, it went pear-shaped. They eat sweets and catch up about their week — Olonisakin has been unwell, after partying too hard — as they prepare to record. In the week that I visit, US rapper TI made international headlines after revealing that he takes his year-old daughter to doctors for hymen checks, to ensure she is a virgin. Scott squeals in agreement. She has views on TI. When they get to talking about TI, the women speak passionately about how the concept of virginity is inherently misogynistic.
