The 42-year-old says having had a rough childhood growing up in the housing projects in Brooklyn, New York, is a completely different proposition to the life his tot is having.
"We would fight each other. My brother would beat me up," the hip hop mogul shared of his family dynamics. "I was going to have to fight, I was going to have to go through some things, and they were preparing me."
