"I Had My Kids For Me Post"

This week on Underneath Da Patio Episode 136 brings a powerful discussion that you won't want to miss. Jay5th is joined by Sir Mac, Kendon, and Tyre as they explore a controversial statement made by rapper Kash Doll, who recently posted, "I had my kids for me." The fellas dig into the layers of this mindset, questioning whether it's a trap or a declaration of independence. Is it empowering, or is it a sign of something deeper and more problematic?

They tackle the idea of parenting as a solo mission and whether choosing to have children for oneself, without the involvement of the father, is a selfish act. How does this decision impact the children, the family structure, and the broader community, especially in the black community where single parenthood is often glamorized or accepted as the norm?

Jay5th and the crew aren't holding back as they challenge these narratives and question how society has shaped these perspectives. Are we setting ourselves up for failure by normalizing single parenthood, or is there more to the story? Tune in to hear a raw, unfiltered conversation that goes beyond the headlines and dives deep into the heart of the matter. This is an episode that will make you think, question, and reflect on the choices we make and the impact they have on future generations.
