She revealed that giving her daughter a better life than when she was little is her top priority. The artist went on to say that his commitment to being a responsible and present father was the inspiration for the song “My Love Is The Same.”

The musician said; “All I want is to do more for my own daughter because I wasn’t able to bring her into the life I lived growing up. It has to be so much better. My family is the center of it. I can afford to be a failed musician, not a failed father or man. That’s non-negotiable.”
