that he was four-years-old the last time he saw his father but that he was always open to a reconciliation.Offset, real name is Kiari Cephus, shared how his father's absence impacted him growing up and suggested it was part of the causes which led him to a life of criminality.

He said:"Growing up it affected me a lot, that's why I think I was running around doing so much. I didn't really have no father guidance, without that and then you've got the streets– you let the streets guide you. Your momma become the person you hide from, You hide everything." The 27-year-old maintained that despite his father's absence, he welcomed the opportunity to rebuild their relationship because of his own personal experience struggling with fatherhood early on.He said:"I know how it be. You can either let the streets take you away or you can kick in with your family. A lot of folks, the streets took them away from their momma, their grandmomma, their everything. So, I've just been on the other side too.

Offset, who has four children by four different women, including wife and Grammy-winner Cardi B, also noted how issues with his mother might have prevented his father from maintaining contact. He said:"I know how mommas can be too– it's a dirty game too now. The momma could have been playing it dirty and it got to a point where he just, gave up. Because I've been in a dirty game before, it can get dirty and you're trying your hardest.

Following the reconciliation, celebrity friends have praised the moving moment with Justin Bieber describing it as"beautiful"While rapper Big Sean highlighted the significance of the father and son coming together, he wrote,"No ego, no pride, just love n opportunity to grow! So powerful!"While rapper Busta Rhymes told Offset that he was"proud."And sending their well wishes for the reformed relationship.
