You grew up without a father. How do you feel like your life would be different if you had grown up with a father? I'd have had some discipline. I'd have had more confidence. You seem pretty confident to me. Now I am. Because now I believe that I'm my own man. You know, money gave me confidence. The screams of the crowd gave me confidence. Before that, I was a shell of a man. Do you feel like one day that you'll be a good father? I think I'd be a very, very good father. But I wouldn't have any kids myself because I'm scared to bring any children into this world, especially any black children. Tell me about being raised by a mother who is a black panther. It was great to me because she taught me how to be more international instead of being local.
