21 Savage Discusses His Evolving Role as a Father
The talented rapper known for his hit “Bank Account” appeared on the Netflix podcast ‘The Pete Davidson Show,’ where he shared his reflections on being a father in the latest episode.
21 Savage, whose birth name is Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, is the father of four children. He has two sons, Kamari and Ashaad, with his ex-partner Keyanna Joseph, and a daughter named Rhian.
He welcomed his youngest child with Latto, whose real name is Alyssa Michelle Stephens, in May. He explained that his perspective on parenting has shifted as he has grown older.
“My first three,” he remarked. “I was younger, running around in the street. Now it’s different. I’m at home, taking care of the baby all night, making her bottles, changing her diapers. It’s a different kind of bond.”
Despite being present for his older children from the beginning, he acknowledged that his music career often took precedence. He also noted that his older children have been a significant source of motivation in his musical journey.
Fans Relate to His Insights on Parenting
<pFans expressed their thoughts in the comments section on The Shade Room's Instagram page, revealing a mix of reactions ranging from playful banter to relatable experiences.
User @jayannaa.x commented, “Of course he’s older now, more mature, and likely has a stronger connection with the mother.”
@curlysavagee shared, “It’s obviously different when you genuinely want to be in a relationship with the mother of your child.”
User @1_fineassmilf remarked, “People really need to understand that having kids at a younger age versus an older age is a completely different experience! He didn’t say anything wrong.”
User @ ___qk._ stated, “This is a common story among young fathers; that age difference significantly impacts the experience.”
@_gawjessss added, “Every child will receive a different version of you, just like the people you meet at various stages of life.”
@iamtresanders commented, “It’s very understandable. His experiences vary because he was at different life stages.”
User @empressgabbana agreed, stating, “Yes, he’s older and wiser now. That’s typically how it goes. I’m happy for him.”
@_michaethebest shared, “I get his point, but I still think some things shouldn’t be said publicly.”
User @browzinggirls commented, “Each child will have a unique experience with their parents, whether it’s a mother or father. As you grow older, you become wiser and may have more resources or patience. I know men who have one child and don’t take care of that child!”

“‘Get me the f*ck out of this pool.’”
In response to whether she wants to have another child, Latto expressed her uncertainty:
“I don’t know. She’s so perfect. I would love to, but then I think… it was the best day of my life, but also the most painful.”
