      He just straight up always has said what he's feeling and that goes beyond the music. He knew who he was or wanted to be at a very early age and stuck to it. Pretty inspiring but I do not admire the trauma and all the hell to get to that point. Life is hard enough for all of us as it is. Takes a real one to keep pushing through all of it. Even if the editors made this feel a bit emotionally manipulative I believe what he's saying. It is a marketing promo but it's real talk. I used to wonder why he had so many kids and there's several answers but being such a young father hopefully he can be around a lot of kids who will live life well and be around while YB is not that much older than them compared to most parents.
