And so for a minute, my younger brain would tell me, ‘This is what’s giving me the sauce to put on the songs,'” Offset explained.\u00a0“But I started to see it affect my family. I got five kids. I got to be a grown man. I gotta take care of the house. And I seen that the people that love me the most, like my mama, would tell me, ‘Hey son, you’re stronger than that. You need to shake that.'”<\/span><\/p>\n And when he finally shook it off, a whole new world opened up to him.<\/span><\/p>\n “I was able to make hard fire songs and I felt like I could record in the daytime and I could get more things accomplished and then I would notice people tell me my attitude or how I’m speaking is more clear or I don’t seem agitated,” he continued, “and I love that feeling from hearing that from other people.”<\/span><\/p>\n Offset implored others to follow in his stops and give up vices that are holding them back.<\/span><\/p>\n “So, for all my young people that got a little habit that you need to shake, shake it, and become a better person,” he said. “‘Cause it’s not just for you. It’s or the people around you. People that love you.”<\/span><\/p>\n Offset and\u00a0<\/span>Cardi B<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>share daughter<\/a>, Kulture Kiari, 5, and son, Wave Set, 2.
