- 0:49Speaker 1: He was having a conversation with or the young Brother
- 0:52Speaker 1: NBA Young Boy. Now, if you aren't familiar with NBA
- 0:54Speaker 1: Young Boy, he's very popular, been popular for a long
- 0:57Speaker 1: time amongst the youth them. I respect what he's built
- 0:59Speaker 1: for himself. He seems to live a very secluded life.
- 1:01Speaker 1: He seems to be pretty out the way he lives
- 1:03Speaker 1: in Utah, which his music out of minds, his business cool,
- 1:06Speaker 1: which snapp of fact. About the NBA Young Boy, he
- 1:09Speaker 1: has eleven kids Okay, yes, eleven churn and he's twenty
- 1:11Speaker 1: four years old.
- 1:12Speaker 2: He's won away from having as many as Nick can.
- 1:14Speaker 1: And the difference is Nick is forty three, NBA Young
- 1:16Speaker 1: Boys twenty four Right now, NBA Young Boys kids can
- 1:18Speaker 1: almost fill out an entire NBA team roster. If he
- 1:21Speaker 1: keeps going at this place, he will be the not
- 1:23Speaker 1: so proud owner of two NBA teams by the time
- 1:25Speaker 1: he's forty eight.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Wait, Uncle Shaul, what do you mean.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Not so proud owner? Well, this is why we are
- 1:30Speaker 1: here today, folks. See, NBA Young Boy spoke about fatherhood
- 1:33Speaker 1: because Bootleg keV asked him about fatherhood. Let's go to
- 1:36Speaker 1: Bootle Kev's podcast report. Please, you do have a lot
- 1:39Speaker 1: of children, and I've been around you just to see
- 1:41Speaker 1: in a short amount of time that you're a great father.
- 1:43Speaker 2: How important is fathering to you? Man?
- 1:48Speaker 1: Not really big on it, to be honest, What.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Do you mean by that you're not big on that. Thank.
- 1:54Speaker 2: I mean you're a family man. I'm here with you,
- 1:55Speaker 2: I see it.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm only I'm only in yeah because you will.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Oh. Well, I don't believe it's.
- 2:03Speaker 1: A crazy topic because I'm not the type of sugar
- 2:06Speaker 1: coat name. But I'm full walls. Oh every day when.
- 2:13Speaker 2: You say four walls, you locked in?
- 2:15Speaker 1: Yeah, just hone in on the music. Yeah, he has
- 2:20Speaker 1: eleven kids, but in his words, he's not really big
- 2:23Speaker 1: on fatherhood. NBA Young Boy treating fatherhood the way the
- 2:26Speaker 1: NBA's Nicola Jokis treats the NBA. You ever hear Joker
- 2:29Speaker 1: talk about basketball at the same level. It don't give
- 2:31Speaker 1: a f that NBA Joki has about basketball, NBA Young
- 2:34Speaker 1: Boy seems to have about being a father to his
- 2:36Speaker 1: eleven kids. I shouldn't have to tell y'all that one
- 2:38Speaker 1: of those things is not like the other. Okay, Now,
- 2:40Speaker 1: Donkey Today is all about giving people the credit they
- 2:42Speaker 1: deserve for being stupid, But it's also about using things
- 2:45Speaker 1: like this as a teachable moment. I didn't know I
- 2:47Speaker 1: would have to say this, but my brothers, that is whack,
- 2:52Speaker 1: all right. So many of us come from broken home.
- 2:54Speaker 1: So many of us had fathers and mothers that weren't
- 2:56Speaker 1: big on having kids. But what bothers me about statements
- 2:59Speaker 1: like this? Since you NBA Young Boy talks that gangster
- 3:02Speaker 1: talk in his records, not only does he talk that
- 3:04Speaker 1: gangster talk, he talks that big money talk.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Well, in the words jay Z, a man.
- 3:07Speaker 1: That don't take care of his family can't be rich.
- 3:09Speaker 1: So don't talk money talk to me. If you're not
- 3:11Speaker 1: big on fatherhood and as far as being gangster, you
- 3:14Speaker 1: can kill thousands of people in your records, but if
- 3:16Speaker 1: you're not big on fatherhood, you not g at all
- 3:19Speaker 1: to me.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Okay? What did the Lina say the Caine in Minister Society, Kane,
- 3:23Speaker 2: I'm pregnant. You man enough to take a life, you
- 3:26Speaker 2: ain't man enough to take care of one.
- 3:28Speaker 1: That's right, You're mad enough to take a life, but
- 3:29Speaker 1: you not man enough to take care of one.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Okay.
- 3:32Speaker 1: And what was absolutely insane to me was when Bootleg
- 3:34Speaker 1: cav said the NBA Young Boy, you are a family
- 3:37Speaker 1: man from what I see, and young Boy says, I'm
- 3:39Speaker 1: I'm only in here because you're here, as if he
- 3:41Speaker 1: was just using the kid as a problem for the conversation, Like,
- 3:44Speaker 1: young boy, I had a prosectd me consultation this week. Okay,
- 3:47Speaker 1: my wife wants me to cut the cable. You should
- 3:49Speaker 1: do everyone in the biggest favor and probably do the same. Okay,
- 3:51Speaker 1: I don't know. At what point do you realize you're
- 3:54Speaker 1: not big on fatherhood?
- 3:55Speaker 2: Is it after child?
- 3:56Speaker 1: One fish? Two fish, three fish, bluefish? Like why do
- 3:58Speaker 1: you have eleven children?
- 4:00Speaker 2: You know?
- 4:00Speaker 1: Did it take eleven children to get to the point
- 4:02Speaker 1: to say you not big on fatherhood? Listen, we are
- 4:06Speaker 1: in the era of generational curse breaking. Okay, those dysfunctional
- 4:09Speaker 1: cycles we had to deal with. We the generation as
- 4:13Speaker 1: supposed to break those and by the way, we are. Okay,
- 4:15Speaker 1: let's not get a twist. Because the NBA Young Boy facts,
- 4:17Speaker 1: seventy percent of black fathers who live with their children
- 4:20Speaker 1: were most likely to have babe dress changed or help
- 4:22Speaker 1: their child with the toilet every day, compared with their
- 4:25Speaker 1: white and Hispanic counterparts. White is sixty percent, Hispanic is
- 4:29Speaker 1: forty five percent. And that's according to the US Centers
- 4:31Speaker 1: for Disease Control and Preventions National Health Statistics Report. Okay,
- 4:35Speaker 1: those black fathers were also more likely to have eaten
- 4:37Speaker 1: the meal with their children. Okay, the datas showed, and yes,
- 4:40Speaker 1: these numbers are high. The data shows not just for
- 4:43Speaker 1: biological fathers living inside the home, but it also indicates
- 4:45Speaker 1: that black fathers often step into the role of step
- 4:48Speaker 1: parent are maintained consistent involvement when living outside the home.
- 4:51Speaker 1: And that's not coming from me. Don't listen to me.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I got a lisp. Okay, that came from doctor Er
- 4:56Speaker 1: Longer Turner, a licensed psychologist and associate professor of psychologist
- 5:00Speaker 1: you at Peperdine University in Malibu, California.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Don't let NBA, young boy, fool you.
- 5:04Speaker 1: There's a myth of the missing black father because once again,
- 5:07Speaker 1: stats show that close to seventy percent of all births
- 5:09Speaker 1: to black mothers are non non marital okay, which gives
- 5:13Speaker 1: rise to the stereotype that black fathers are largely absent. However,
- 5:17Speaker 1: while black fathers are less likely than white and Hispanic
- 5:19Speaker 1: fathers to marry their child's mother, many black fathers continue
- 5:22Speaker 1: to parent through cohabitation and visitation, providing caretaking, financial and
- 5:27Speaker 1: kind support. Young boy, you get into the money, so
- 5:30Speaker 1: you got the resources. But let me tell you something, King,
- 5:32Speaker 1: that money don't mean as much as your time. Okay,
- 5:36Speaker 1: you need to be big on fatherhood, all right. You
- 5:38Speaker 1: don't have the luxury of not being big on fatherhood
- 5:41Speaker 1: because no present is better than your presence, and you
- 5:44Speaker 1: can't just physically be there to be present, You have
- 5:47Speaker 1: to mentally and emotionally be there, be the adult you
- 5:49Speaker 1: need it as a child. And look, man, n be
- 5:52Speaker 1: a young boy, Ill shoot him bare. He's only twenty four.
- 5:54Speaker 1: I don't know the age of his oldest child, but
- 5:55Speaker 1: I know that NBA young boy is only twenty four.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Your full frontal cortex hasn't even fully develop. Again, that's
- 6:00Speaker 1: a fact, Okay, The rational part of his brain won't
- 6:02Speaker 1: be developed until he's twenty five. But I'm encouraging that
- 6:05Speaker 1: young brother to do better now because a father's impact
- 6:08Speaker 1: on child development is everything. Okay, and you have eleven children,
- 6:12Speaker 1: those are your greatest responsibilities. Never broke again. Shouldn't just
- 6:16Speaker 1: be about finances. It should be about homes. If you
- 6:19Speaker 1: come from a broken home, you should make it your
- 6:20Speaker 1: duty to never want to be a part of a
- 6:22Speaker 1: broken home ever again. Sometimes we subconsciously become what we hate.
- 6:27Speaker 1: We know that children who grow up with absent fathers
- 6:29Speaker 1: can suffer lasting damage. Right, They're more likely to end
- 6:32Speaker 1: up in poverty, or drop out of school, become addicted
- 6:34Speaker 1: to drugs, have a child out of wedlock, or end
- 6:36Speaker 1: up in prison. That's why you have to be big
- 6:40Speaker 1: on fatherhood, NBA, yell boy, especially since you got the
- 6:44Speaker 1: opportunity to be king. You're alive, You're actually here for
- 6:49Speaker 1: your kids physically, you're not in prison.
- 6:53Speaker 2: You are here able and.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Capable of taking care of those eleven sharing all right.
- 6:57Speaker 1: When you make a decision to have a child, you're
- 6:59Speaker 1: also make the decision to take responsibility for that child.
- 7:02Speaker 1: You have eleven responsibilities and you cannot abandon your obligation
- 7:06Speaker 1: as a parent because you have other plans. Like the
- 7:09Speaker 1: music can't come before the children. The money can't come
- 7:12Speaker 1: before the children.
- 7:13Speaker 2: It just can't.
- 7:14Speaker 1: No matter how big you think you doing it, you're
- 7:18Speaker 1: not doing it big at all. If you not big
- 7:21Speaker 1: on fatherhood, please give the NBA young boy the biggest
- 7:25Speaker 1: he are just the teachable moment. Man, Come on, man,
- 7:31Speaker 1: we gotta be big on fatherhood now.
- 7:34Speaker 3: I just want to tell you. You said you know
- 7:36Speaker 3: he is in Utah. Well he's on house arrest in Utah.
- 7:38Speaker 3: That's why he's out the way. He can't he can't
- 7:40Speaker 3: leave the house. That's why he's in Utah. And I'm
- 7:43Speaker 3: gonna try that at home tonight. When my kids come
- 7:45Speaker 3: up to me and say that they're hungry, I'm gonna
- 7:47Speaker 3: be like, I don't feel like fathering today.
- 7:49Speaker 1: You don't feel like well, he didn't say he don't
- 7:51Speaker 1: feel like being fathering. He actually he's not big on fatherhood.
- 7:54Speaker 1: That's'm gonna tell h I'm not bad on fatherhood today.
- 7:56Speaker 2: No, you're not. You're not gonna do that. When my
- 7:58Speaker 2: daughter has to go to dance, I'm like, that's mom
- 8:00Speaker 2: the driving. You know why you're not. You know why
- 8:02Speaker 2: you're not. You're not gonna do that because you know better.
- 8:06Speaker 3: When the baby comes in her panther gotta be changing.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Like that because you know better. But once again, like
- 8:11Speaker 1: I said, I shoot him a little bit of beout.
- 8:12Speaker 1: He's twenty four years old, forefront of cortext On developed tent.
- 8:15Speaker 1: You're twenty five. The rational part of his brain not
- 8:17Speaker 1: even working yet. Okay, we don't know what hell could
- 8:19Speaker 1: be causing, you know, his brain not to be logically
- 8:23Speaker 1: processing things the way that it should. But listen, I
- 8:25Speaker 1: just want to tell all brothers out there, because this
- 8:27Speaker 1: ain't just about n being a young boy. You have
- 8:29Speaker 1: to be big on fatherhood. Okay, And there's a myth
- 8:32Speaker 1: of the missing Black fathers, because black fathers are here
