During an appearance on Power 105.1’s the Breakfast Show, the Migos member revealed he was 4 years old when he last saw his father.
“I know how it be. You can either let the streets take you away or you can kick in with your family,” he told the radio show hosts. “A lot of folks, the streets took them away from their momma, their grandmomma, their everything. So I’ve just been on the other side, too. I’ve been a father that was locked up, trippin, not really focused on life goals, not really focusing on taking care of the kids.”
He posted a photo from that time late Sunday.
“LAST TIME I SEEN MY DADDY,” he wrote. “GOD IS AMAZING.”
