During his interview with The Breakfast Club, the Atlanta Native spoke of his son Messiah Harris with pride. He also revealed that he “actually did” pay him for his labor.

“My other son, Messiah, he produced on the record […] It’s called ‘Light day.'”

“We negociated a fair rate […] given this was his second placement.”

“I think I gave him 10 thousand. He negotiated it. You know, I started at 5 […] But it was dope though, it was a dope record. I negotiated with him like, if I got this beat from somebody else, what would I be willing to pay for it? You know what I mean? And I felt it was a dope beat.”
