Skies is the father of a four-year-old. He recently discussed fatherhood and the lessons he’s learned from parenting during an interview with AllHipHop. He told the outlet in April: “For me, I know that it’s time. Me being there in person, that counts more than the money. That’s the biggest thing for me, because I can’t get that back. The money wherever, that’s gonna be what it’s gon’ be. I can’t let that determine my happiness, and for my son too. So I try to be on that type of time, hands on with it. I’ve been like that since I had him, since he was born. It’s natural at this point, it’s part of my life.” Check out the police report from Skies’ arrest on Instagram below as caught by DJ Akademiks.
