Rapper/choreographer/socialite Teyana Taylor has shocked critics by revealing that she is a virgin in an intimate interview this week. 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.”

Teyana even hosts a bible study at St. Luke’s Church in her native Harlem for other abstaining teens: “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.”

Check out what Teyana had to say during her interview with Egypt:

Teyana On Blogger Perez Hilton: “…A while back I took up for Chris Brown and got called a dumb bitch by Perez Hilton. I mean that was crazy. He got mad because I wouldn’t respond back to him. He just wanted the publicity and he is not gonna get it on my back. I took up for Chris because he was my friend and my brother even before the Rihanna stuff. I’m not gonna leave him because he made a mistake.”

Teyana On Chris’ Radio Interview On The Rihanna Assault: “I feel like every decision he made was right. He had to go on and talk about the situation because no one heard his side. I don’t condone what he did. It’s never right to hit a woman. But I’m gonna be by his side anyway.”

Teyana On Her Celebrity Crush: “I had a crush on Chris Paul (NBA) but I hit up La La (Alani Vasquez) and she gave me all the basketball scoop. She said he has a girl and lives with her in New Orleans. My crush was over in 2.5 seconds flat because I don’t want noooooo drama. He’s a nice guy and he’s just my friend now. Shia lebouf is my baby daddy though!”
