In 2016, the rapper revealed that after he was close to quitting rap because the busy schedule prevented him from being there for his daughter.

"I toured a whole year, when I came back my daughter was doing different things, talking different. I’m at the crucial years of her life, she’s only 7-years-old. I got tired of missing that, I almost quit rap. It comes to a point where you’re starting to put music before your kids, your family, that’s not what I signed up for. But, at the same time, it’s what pays the bills and what I love to do, my daughter loves to see me do it too," he said.
