He said,
“It’s just like terrorists bombing innocent people.”
The singer, who is a father of seven, also highlighted the discrepancy between the negative comments people make about his family and their lack of support in real-life situations.

Tuface stressed that people often judge his parenting without understanding the full context and challenges, stating, “Many people talk about kids, fatherhood, motherhood, all that whole circle.
Many people talk about it with public opinion type of thinking. But it’s deeper than that.
There’s nobody that has the exact blueprint for this thing.”

He revealed that he communicates with them as peers and encourages them to express their thoughts freely.
He concluded by urging parents to establish genuine connections with their children.
