– A woman will change your whole life, especially if it’s a companion. Before I had my children, it was like being with my girl took a blindfold off As soon as you get with a girl, she’ll tell you, like, “That’s not your friend. That’s — that’s your friend. But that one? Nah.” – And to be clear you didn’t just get with any girl. – No, I know I got with a very special woman. – If you had asked me in 2012, is this guy going to be the most happily coupled-up, familied-up man in rap music? – Hell no. – I would, I respectfully would have said — – Hell no. – probably not. – It was just like we were on the same page. Born the same year. My dad is from her country. My family, when I go back, I get to see both sides of my family. It’s so many similarities, it’s just funny. We laugh about it a lot. She was always my boo, you know what I’m saying? Like I always [expletive] with her. My mother used to say [expletive] like, “I know you like this girl that you’re with right now —” I ain’t going to say no names, “but I want you with Riri.” I used to be like, “Mom, why do you keep saying that?” – Mom, mind your business. – Yeah, like, that girl don’t even, like, want me like that. Like, be cool, Mom. Like, that’s just my friend. Chill. “I’m telling you, she real.” And mothers know best. I’m thankful that, you know, she was put in my life at that time because I think any time prior to that, you know, I don’t think I was ready for something like that. You know, I don’t think she was either.
