by

It’s no secret that Offset takes a lot of pride in his career, but the hitmaker also always makes time to be a great dad. During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, he opened up about his family life, revealing that he’s passed on some of his talents to his offspring. Offset shares two children with fellow rapper Cardi B, as well as three additional children from previous relationships.

“That’s the main role,” he said of fatherhood. “It’s my thoughts when I’m walking, and when I’m doing everything. I’m always thinking about it. Because I represent them, I don’t just represent me no more.” Offset says that growing up without his father around has motivated him to play an active role in his kids’ lives.

Offset Discusses Fatherhood On The Jennifer Hudson Show

“My father, I love him. Ain’t no hate towards him. But unfortunately, he couldn’t be there. So, I made sure — I gave a promise to myself, when I was a kid, before I even had kids, that no matter any circumstance, I’m always going to be there for my children, and it shows,” he explained. Luckily, his little ones give him plenty to be proud of. During the interview, he recalled learning that his teenage son Jordan has some serious musical talent.

“He surprised me,” he described. “Like, last Christmas, he pulled out his computer. And Fruity Loops is a program, where you produce. And he’s like, ‘Daddy, can I play you a beat?’ So he plays me a beat, but then he makes it in front of me. And I’m like, ‘You 12 man, how you know how to do that?’ And he’s like, ‘I just been practicing.’ And it sounded good.” What do you think of Offset opening up about being a father on The Jennifer Hudson Show?

Lil Uzi Vert Displays Impressive Basketball Skills: Watch

Lil Uzi Vert is on top of the world right now. His song “Just Wanna Rock” is a viral hit that has ultimately ushered in a new era for the artist. Overall, Uzi has always been an eclectic artist, but this latest song just cements that trend. At the end of the day, he is one of the best artists, and the fans absolutely love him. Although his last project came in 2020, supporters are still confident that a new project is coming soon. Moreover, his performance at Rolling Loud recently is just more proof that he can get the crowd going at any time.

“Just Wanna Rock” is a song that is huge in sports stadiums around the world. In fact, it became the theme song for the Philadelphia Eagles during their championship run. Furthermore, the production of the song is sometimes heard on ESPN. Whenever you go to an arena whether it be NBA or NHL, you can probably expect to hear the track. Interestingly enough, it seems like this association with sports is authentic for Uzi, who is talented on the court.

Lil Uzi Vert Gets Buckets

In a recent video form @benni_boom on Instagram, which was then reposted by No Jumper, you can see Uzi showing off his skills on the floor. In the video up above, Uzi was at Cool Kicks, where they have a net and a ball on hand for those who want to engage in some pick-up ball. That is exactly what Uzi ended up doing in front of the patrons as well as some of the employees. For the most part, Uzi looked great on the floor and was even able to get some air while going for a dunk. Subsequently, in another clip, Uzi missed a shot but hustled for the rebound.

Despite his size, Lil Uzi Vert can certainly get some air. Overall, he probably still isn’t the best rap hooper out there. Guys like J. Cole, 2 Chainz, and Lil Durk still hold that designation. Either way, it is cool to see that Uzi would be able to hold his own. Let us know what you think of the clip, in the comments down below.
