“We make memes and Snapchats, Instagram posts and all that on the 101. But we were doing that responsibly! I was the cameraman, and my son’s hands were on the 10 and 2.”
As a responsible dad, he didn't want to spoil his children and wants to give them a normal life which he revealed in his next interview:
“I grew up in Compton, Los Angles so [when I became an actor] I overcompensated because of my background…I wanted to give [my children] everything I didn’t have. But I can’t spoil my kids,”
He added:
“I had to say, ‘Wait a minute — am I creating a monster? I can’t keep freely giving you things.’ My kids have schoolwork, community service, and chores. We recently put together packages at the post office for soldiers overseas.”
