Goal Getter (@bhlifestyles · 6h): If we’re being honest, having seven children by three different women is not automatically something to celebrate. Tuface may be a music legend, but fatherhood isn’t just about producing children —it’s about the emotional responsibility, stability and consequences that come with creating multiple families. At some point, “I have plenty children” stops sounding like a flex and starts raising questions about discipline, accountability and the women and children left to navigate the complications. Being a great musician is one thing. Building a responsible family life is another.
