“Remember that I am not a nanny, I am not here to raise your kids.. find a better role model for them… Secondly, I am not a therapist to help you cope in being black or African. Lastly, I am a celebrity, you have a choice to love me or hate me (although I prefer us being cool).”

“Who is the parent of this child? Because it’s definitely not me. Stop making me your child’s parent, I must now teach your child things that you can’t teach (them). Your child chose to follow me. I did not point a gun to their head and forced them to follow me. If you believe (that) I am a bad role model or a bad example for your child, it’s simple, unfollow me. I will live my life the best way I feel I should be living it,” he said.
