“It’s gonna grow her up. I hope it does," he began. "Because she’ll finally get to know what it is to be a parent. She’ll get to see first-hand what I was going through."

“Nobody really understood my relationship with my daughter before she was a rap star," he explained. Nobody was there, regardless of when me and her mother split apart…Believe me, that bay gon’ it’s granddad. It’s important for me to get my message to that baby. Regardless of whatever we’re going through, that ain’t got nothing to do with the grandbaby.” As for Trippie, Benzino said he'd like to “holla” at him now that he's expecting a baby with his daughter.
