During his recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay, 21 Savage opened up about fatherhood. He reflected on his own upbringing, comparing it to what he's able to provide for his children now. The rapper has three kids, ranging from ages eight to ten. According to him, balancing his career with family life is no easy task, and often leaves him feeling like his little ones are missing out.
"I be feeling like I don't be doing all the way my job because of my job," he says in a clip from the interview. "So I be trying to like, balance that out [...] You work to receive, to gain all the success and all the good sh*t, but it's like I feel like the best parents in my opinion is parents that don't got it all. I feel like broke parents are better than rich parents, in my opinion."
