“All I wanted to do is more for my daughter because I can’t afford to bring her into the kind of life I grew up living. It has to be way better. And that’s why I’m working hard,” he said.
“My family is my centre. I don’t joke with them. I can afford to be a failed musician, not a failed father or a man. That’s not negotiable for me,” he added.
