Are you married?
No I’m not married. I just want to be the man that most Black women want to marry. I want to be a Black man that stands strong. I’m not perfect, but [I want to be the man] women want to marry and that kids want to be their father. I want to be that man. [When I die] I want people to say that that’s a strong African man, I am proud that he’s a part of my culture.
So is it that you don’t want to be married or it just hasn’t happened for you yet?
Well this is what I believe, people pray so much for an angel, but then we’re demons. I’m glad I didn’t get married before. I couldn’t have been the man that I’m going to be to whomever my wife will be, wherever she is.
And no matter how good a woman could’ve been on the outside, I wasn’t right on the inside. I barely am now, but I am moving into a situation where I can be a great father and a great husband. I understood the concept of [marriage], I knew what I wanted, but I wasn’t that.
Another reason is that I’ve always been so driven. I am now getting to a point where my businesses can sustain themselves on their own. People don’t know this, but I own a multimedia company called A Banner Vision. A friend of mine was talking yesterday about how there’s so many positive things going on with black people but nobody wants to do stories about them. You know, about Chris Brown owning 30 Burger Kings, about what Nipsey Hustle is doing with his business, about me running a multimedia company. I did Gaterade for the World Cup. I did music for Pepsi two years ago for the NFL, except the Superbowl. I’ve scored video games and movies—Marvel vs. Capcom. I run successful businesses, and there is no way that I could’ve been a great father or a great husband with all of these things. I had to be selfish. Something had to be sacrificed. But, as much as I want to have kids, I just didn’t have the time to do that properly.
