Fatherhood for Kendrick Lamar

In an interview with W Magazine, the rapper explained how his children have helped him to "take the ego out" and develop a deeper insight into love and parenthood.

"My children have allowed me, in their development as human beings who are beginning to walk and talk, to take away my ego," Lamar said. "And when I think about it, I try to apply that in my career and in how I get to know other people. Am I allowing them to be themselves without judging them? My children have taught me that," the 37-year-old performer explained.

Although the Californian rapper's life has been marked by his success in the music world, it is also marked by his love and dedication to his family.

Through his fatherhood, Lamar has found a source of inspiration for his music and personal growth.
