Still feeling the spirit of Fathers Day, we would like to pay homage to the men in hip hop who are also great dads. These are the men we look up to, so we present to you - SoJones.coms Favorite Amazing Hip Hop Dads. In random, unnumbered order, here they are:
Joseph Rev Run Simmons Hes your ultimate dad. As seen in the familys reality show Runs House, Rev Run is an authoritative figure who has a papa bear quality at the same time. From his marriage with Valerie Vaughn in 1983, Rev Run had three children: Vanessa, Angela and Joseph Jr. After the divorce, Rev Run married Justine Jones in 1994 and had three more children: Daniel Diggy III, Russell Russy II and Victoria Anne -who tragically died after birth. Soon after Victoria Annes death, the Simmons family adopted a baby girl: Miley Justine. As many expected him to do, Joseph Jr. has tried to match his dads rapping skills with his group Team Blackout. However, it surprised everyone when Diggy also stepped up to the plate and actually got signed by a major label. Can he live up to his dads rep? Well see.
T.I. How many times can we gush about T.I.? We dont really know. The rapper has made some mistakes in the past, including getting incarcerated for an illegal weapon possession case and again on 2010 when he broke parole. But Tip manned up to the charges and set a good example for his kids. T.I. fathered Messiah YaMajesty Harris and Domani Uriah Harris with LaShon Dixon. Theres also Dehjah Imani Harris in the Tips kids list. With Tameka Tiny Cottle, T.I. has three sons: Clifford King Harris III, Llayah Amour Harris , and Major Philant Harris. T.I. is also the stepfather of Zonnique, Tamekas daughter from a previous relationship. We say Tips a great daddy and a great leader of the pack.
P. Diddy Although being a bachelor for life seems to be Diddys way of life, it doesnt get in his way in being a dad. Fatherhood for Diddy began when he started dating Kimberly Porter, who has a son with producer Al B Sure. Diddys first biological child is Justin Dior, from a relationship with Misa Hylton-Brim who was his high school sweetheart. The rappers second biological child is Christian Casey from his relationship with Kim Porter, who also gave Diddy his twin daughters: DLila Star and Jessie James. When Diddys relationship with Kim Porter went sour in 2007, Combs took legal responsibility for Chance, his daughter with Sarah Chapman. Why are we dubbing Diddy one of our favorite dads? Hello? He gave Justin a $360,000 Maybach car AND a chauffeur as a 16th birthday present. Sweet!
Lil Wayne Ah, the man who seems to be planting seeds everywhere. But thats okay, because we know hes a loving dad. His first child is Reginae, from his marriage with Antonia Toya Carter. His second child is Dwayne III. Wayne got his third child, Lennox Samuel Ari, from his relationship with actress Lauren London. In 2009, Wayne had his fourth child, Neal, with singer Nivea. Looks like Weezy also made his peace with his own dad. He told Katie Couric that his dad has never been in his life. Well, from the looks of it, theres no way hes doing that to his kids, as hes very involved in Reginaes life. So, Lil Wayne made our list!
Snoop Dogg Heres a rapper who looks like he couldnt be a family man. Well guess what? Turns out he is a great father figure. However, from what we heard, Snoop doesnt want any of his kids becoming a rapper. He has his reasons.
Will Smith A father of three, Will Smith might not be into hip hop nowadays, as hes busy doing business with Jay-Z along with his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. However, Will Jr. has just graduated high school, Jaden is building his acting career and collaborating with the likes of Justin Bieber. The last one of the pack, Willow Smith, is on the roll with her singing career. With all these high achievers in the house, is it true that Will Smith is an excellent dad? Yes, he is.
