Meek Mill Pens Father’s Day Letter: “I Get To Give My Son The Life I Never Had”
The rapper wrote about the importance of fatherhood for Time.
Earlier this year, Time recruited mothers—most notably Beyonce's mom—to write open letters to their children. This Sunday is Father’s Day, so Time got Meek Mill to pen a letter about being a dad. Meek touches on the joys of fatherhood—“Being able to give [my son] anything he wants is one of the best feelings in the world”—as well as the fears: “The fact that no one can teach you how to be a father means you are always learning on the job.” The MC also talked about struggling to balance his work life with his domestic responsibilities. “I always explain to [my son] that everything I do, I do for him,” Meek writes. “All the shows, all the nights in the studio, I do with my son in mind.”
