The rapper covers "Haute Living" and shared what it was like being a teen father.

Offset's Father of 4 is the album that everyone can't stop talking about after dropping early this morning. The Migos rapper gets personal in his solo project, including offering insight to his once-rocky relationship with wife Cardi B. The Georgia native continued the internet hype surrounding his latest release by sharing a photo of himself in his regal, album cover attire with the caption, "THE FATHER IS THE KING." You know, for anyone that needed to be reminded that Offset is at the top of his game.

The rapper also covers the latest issue of Haute Living and chats with the magazine about what life has been like since becoming a teen father. “I had my first child at 17, so the journey of fatherhood was kind of tough for me at first,” Offset said. “I was trying to find myself. I didn’t have much direction on what it meant to be a father. I definitely made some mistakes, but I have no regrets. It’s challenging when you have a career like this and you’re constantly on the road. It makes it tough to see your kids, especially when they’re young.”

“Now that I’m older, though, I’m learning my way. Us fathers sometimes don’t always take the best routes," Offset said about his journey as a dad. "My children are everything to me. And now that they’re getting older, I get to bring them around with me on the road much more, which is amazing. Whenever I get a few days, I bring them with me because I need to spend that time with them.”
