Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe panel discusses the public backlash against rapper Wiz Khalifa for allowing his son to take a school bus. The speakers argue that experiencing a \"normal\" childhood and interacting with peers is more valuable than the luxury of a private car, emphasizing that grounding children helps them develop character and a realistic perspective on the world.
Rapper Wiz Khalifa was recently shamed for letting
his son Sebastian take the school bus instead of a private
car service since he's wealthy.
Should you give your kids a certain lifestyle just because you can?
Mm-mm.
This is so wrong that people are shaming him for this.
First of all, you can say whatever you
want about Wiz Khalifa being a rapper
and his lifestyle and who the mother of the child is,
but they are very good parents.
Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose, if you follow them on social media,
you know that they are fantastic parents.
Right.
The shaming on this...
Yeah.
It's so terrible.
Kids are already growing up at such a rapid pace.
Let the kid have a real, genuine childhood.
Well, not only growing up at such a rapid pace,
I mean, already the life of a kid is very isolated
because they spend so much time in cyberspace,
so much time on their phone, playing video games and all of that.
Riding a school bus is a time when you realize
where you fit in the world.
But maybe he shouldn't have posted it.
Maybe what?
Maybe he shouldn't have posted it
because when you are a celebrity,
then there's that security factor as well.
I mean, I'm not agreeing with let's rip him apart
because he's riding the bus
because every kid should ride a bus.
But if his dad is posting the picture, that...
I think it's okay for him to ride
the bus until a security issue comes up.
I don't post things about my kids.
I mean, look, even the producers asked me before the show,
they said, Steve, how did you do your kids
when they were in high school?
Because, you know, my sons went
to high school, but they caught the bus.
I got drivers, but they don't have a driver.
Right.
All right.
They haven't worked, they haven't done it.
They've got to earn some drivers.
That's right.
I tell all my kids, me and your mama got money.
Y'all the poor people in the family,
so make the adjustment, because that's where you at.
And I don't see nothing wrong, man.
It, look.
What's wrong with letting the kid have a regular moment?
That's normal, yeah.
I loved raising my daughter in New York.
Because you walk through the streets,
I mean, and it's all there for everybody.
Everybody's got to walk over a puddle of snow or a pile of poop.
It doesn't matter. You have to do it.
I also grew up in New York and rode the city bus, and I...
Grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in Queens
and rode the bus to the Upper East Side in New York.
So I really got to see the vast difference
of what growing up in my neighborhood was like
and then going to a fancy neighborhood
like the Upper East Side.
And that, for me, was more aspirational than anything else.
It made me hustle harder.
It just made me...
And being in New York, again, just grounded me.
And, like, everybody is on the same hustle, you know?
You have to do...
But, you know, above and beyond anything else,
Who cares what other people think on social media
and what they're tweeting about how
he parents his son?
Yeah, but everybody has an opinion now.
Everybody.
Everybody has an opinion.
