Ice T “So Much More Connected” To Youngest Daughter Than Other Children

by

Ice T revealed in a recent interview that he has been a better father to his youngest daughter. As opposed to how he has been to his other two children. When the actor and rapper appeared on That Moment with Daymond John, the two discussed his relationships with his three children. He explained how his life circumstances were much different when he had his other children. Subsequently leading him to become “so much more connected” to his youngest daughter, Chanel. He went on to call it “a beautiful thing.”

Ice T describes having his oldest daughter, Letesha, when he was in high school and reveals that he wasn’t around. “I was rippin’ and running,” he explains, “It was presents over presence.” He went on to share how he was just starting to become famous when he had his son Tracy. This caused him to be “distracted” during his childhood. Ice T revealed that by the time he had Chanel with his wife Coco Austin in 2015, he was much better equipped to be a father. He says he was comfortable, and in “a cruise pattern,” consequently allowing him to be a more hands-on father to the now 7-year-old girl. He describes how he was able to go to the hospital with his pregnant wife. Moreover, he shared that Chanel still sleeps in the same bed with them.

Ice T Gets Criticized For His Parenting

Ice T’s interview led to criticism from listeners. Overall, some believe that it’s unfair to his other children for them to have experienced a less-than-ideal father-figure growing up. These commenters think that although the 65-year-old is embracing fatherhood now, he shouldn’t discuss this publicly for his other two children to hear. On the flip-side, other commenters believe it’s natural for him to have made a progression in his parenting abilities. They say that although the star couldn’t be his best with his first two children, he’s in the right for recognizing his behavior and shaping up for his most recent daughter.

The actor shared in a talk with Variety in February how he chose to stop making solo records because “the music got goofy to [him].” He explained that he no longer felt comfortable with the hip-hop genre. Subsequently, this led him to slow down when it came to his musical career.
