The “Trap Queen” performer, who is also the father of Aydin, 10, Zaviera, 6, Khari, 5, Amani, 5, and Zy, 3, previously opened up about how becoming a father changed his perspective on life.
“Before he [Aydin] came here it was just all about me, I didn’t care about nothing really,” the New Jersey native told Vice in June 2015 after the birth of his two eldest kids. “I didn’t have nothing to live for so to speak, because I lived my life however I wanted to live it.”
He added: “If that was the last day, then that was the last day. When he was born, it really took me two weeks like, ‘You have a son, what are you doing?’ Just switch it up a little, and it got me focused in my life.”
