Jamal Bryant Baby Mama EXPOSES The Truth — What About The Child?

[00:00:00]This is Rock Lee with Social Fyah. Okay, I'mma slow this down just for a moment because I actually, you know, need to talk about this with a lot of clarity so the people understand my heart in this situation right here. I had a person in comments on the video I did recently about Jamal Bryant and his education and the claims that he made about receiving a certified letter from the bank that they would foreclose if he did not denounce Black Lives Matter which seemed like it was not the truth.

[00:00:31]But I had somebody in the comments who asked me why are we not addressing his son in the interview about his son.

[00:00:41]And I just want to go ahead and address that now. Now, I'm not going to do an intro or anything like that. I just want to go ahead and speak my heart. I think that this is a very sad situation. I think this is a very sad situation. Not necessarily for Jamal Bryant, not necessarily for LaToya Odum, but for the child, for the son.

[00:01:04]I I saw the the preview that's going to air, looks like it's going to air on Father's Day and um I listen to what Tasha K was saying and just the the graphically explicit things that she was saying about his father, about Jamal Bryant. Although they are probably most likely accurate, the things that she said graphically about their their intercourse, if you would.

[00:01:33]Um probably most likely accurate as you cannot get a child without those things happening.

[00:01:40]I just have a problem when it comes to situations like this where children are involved. And on Social Fyah, I've tried to make it my business to stay away from the kids. I don't think that this either Let me go ahead and say this right here.

[00:01:55]This might offend some people, but I don't care about the mother or the father. I don't because it doesn't seem like that Jamal is concerned with the welfare or what's best for the child in him not being there and the mother doesn't seem to be concerned about the the what's best for the child in her interview with Tasha K. He's going to grow up. He's going to see all of these things. He looks like he's probably of age right now to look at YouTube and to see all of the things that are being said about his father which in the future makes it terribly harder, not impossible but harder for there to be reconciliation between Jamal Bryant and this son if there can indeed be reconciliation and I'm praying that there can be some reconciliation. So there's a lot of things that are that are this is a little bit more complicated than what we're seeing. Now Tasha K is going to do Tasha K. That's exactly what she's going to do. I'm not surprised that she's using this this this emotional interview as evidence against against Jamal Bryant which emotion does not stand up in court when it comes to evidence.

[00:03:08]But because we understand how YouTube works, I'm not faulting her for doing what she does. As a matter of fact, she does what she does at a high level. Now I'm saying that at the same time knowing that she currently lost a lawsuit. I'm just going to put that out there as well. But when we look at different things like this, I just looking at the child, I stay away from children. We stay away from children.

[00:03:32]In the Scoundrel with Daystar where there was the alleged sexual abuse of a child there, we were one of the ones that made it made it sure went on the record that because there was about these sexual allegations against a child and we went ahead because it was a hashtag our justice for this child's name and different things like that. And we quit using that because I just felt the conviction of God. And remember whenever it's conviction, it's going to call out what's wrong so you can turn back to God. That's what the Holy Ghost does.

[00:04:06]And so [clears throat] I had the conviction and I had to repent for that and decide going forward that I would not use that name anymore, any longer, or refer to that child because the Holy Ghost convicted me. Now once I did that, I did not know that the parents were watching my video and they had just had a conversation with the counselor who said that the child needs to not deal with those kind of things and just be a child. And they thank me. That you know, they thank me for being and it was confirmation to them on what needs to happen. The child needs to be a child. And I feel the same way for this child here. He needs to be a child. He doesn't need to grow up having his friends at the basketball court talking about what his mama said he her and his daddy did. I'm just saying we we all have you know, things that we can say and things that we can do. But I just don't want that for this young man. We already listen, I'm going to go on and tell you this right here. Because of his and don't take this the wrong way, but I'm going to say what I want to say.

[00:05:12]He's already African-American and y'all know many times being an African-American young a man, you're already under suspicion.

[00:05:20]You many times you can be already demonized. You can. Now [clears throat] but he he's also going to have to deal with what people are seeing online about his mother and his father. He's going to have to deal with that. And we don't know what kind of psychological trauma that may cause for him. My prayer My prayer is that Jamal and her get it together so they can do what's best for this young man. I just don't believe that this is the answer. Now, I know and understand she probably has her motives that may be the right thing to do. I know that there may be some things that we don't know on both ends such as Jamal and why he's doing what he's doing. Now, I have to say this, I don't agree with Jamal on 99.9% of the things that he do. I don't even think he's a real preacher. I don't even think he's a motivational speaker. I just I'm just saying I he's he is what he is. He is what he is. But, when it comes to being a father, I think that every man has the right to get back in place and be that ace in that space. I don't believe that it is ever too late to get right. It's never too late to get right with God and it's never right to get it's never wrong or it's never too long to get right with your children. I just feel that way. I'm sorry. I just feel that way. And any fathers who are out here watching this, I know the mother may be what she's doing and I don't want to indirectly suggest that I'm saying that I'm on one side or the other because I'm not. Once again, I don't care nothing about what she's doing with this interview and I don't care nothing about what Jamal is doing by being absent. I care about this child and whether reconciliation will be available for him in the future. Now, there are all kind of videos already.

[00:06:59]Jamal, whatever he does just becomes public information because he he does so many wrong things such as being on a honeymoon while supposed to be a child support court, you know, and that became a big thing.

[00:07:12]He he does this kind of stuff and I believe a lot of the scrutiny that he gets he deserves. I believe he asked for it. But, the son is the son asking for it. Is this child asking for that? Is the child I know the mother may can use that and leverage those things, but after a while we have to understand that us as children when we are children, we're going to take on the prejudices of our mothers. That's why I thank God for my mother my mother who I was raised the majority of the time without my biological father in my life. I was. My mother did not spend time trying to convince me how bad my father was or how horrible he was or how how trifling he was. She did not. Matter of fact, I know my mother never did say nothing bad about him. See, it takes a strong woman to know that you've been you've been done unjustly. You've been done wrong and still look at that child and say, "I know our situation was wrong, but I want you to respect your father. You will not talk negative about him. You will respect him." Now, that's not justifying him. Y'all, I want to make sure I say that. That is I know some folk are not with this level of thinking. I know it's people not people sensitive about everything, but my mother did not take time. That's why I thank God. If she had of took time, then God wouldn't have sent her my stepfather who really took the time, stepped up in the place of my biological father and raised me and my brothers. Three of us.

[00:08:38]Three children. My stepfather stepped in. Thank God for Elder David Stinnett.

[00:08:42]Stepped in, raised us, taught us, uh talked to us about the importance of education, made sure that we understood about uh you know, reading and fundamental. First black man that I ever saw uh who had a who who was big on books and reading. Had a library at our house.

[00:09:00]A man who I saw worship God in front of his family. First man I ever saw apologize to me for something that he had gotten wrong. This man stepped in and did it. But if my mother would have made it about my biological father my whole life about that, then what would I have turned out to be? And instead, she made sure that I respected my biological father regardless to his decisions. I have to respect him and I have to respect and love my stepfather. Now, here's the thing that I'm saying.

[00:09:28]I know somebody going to say, "Well, Rocket, sound like you're taking side."

[00:09:30]No. No. No. I'm not taking sides. I'm talking about the child. I'm talking about what's best for the child. Once again, I don't care nothing about uh you know, Latoya and what she's doing right here. Don't care nothing about with Jamal and what he's doing because it doesn't seem like this is for the best of the child. This is going to be an emotional interview that Tasha K is doing what she does. She's putting this emotional interview out there and it's going to get her numbers. Can't fault her for that. She knows what she's doing putting it out on Father's Day. Now, we can go back and look at Kirk Franklin when he first met his biological father and found out some different things about the one he thought was his biological father wasn't right. He put that out on Father's Day. I get it. I totally understand the marketability of this particular kind of story. I get it.

[00:10:17]I get it. But here's the thing. In this situation right here, Kirk Franklin was a grown man. This right here is a child still being developed, still coming to his understanding of who he is, still you know, still wanting to be loved by a man, being loved by a father. Now, here's the thing that I pray. I pray that the chair is not being kept empty for Jamal Bryant. One, you know, no, I feel like there are plenty of good men out here and I don't know, she may be. I don't know. I'm just going to go ahead and say that. I don't know if there is already a man in place to father him or to you know, maybe an uncle or something to that nature. I don't know. Maybe you know, somebody, a grandfather, something like that and I pray that there is. I pray because seems like Latoya may be wise enough to do those kind of things, but y'all, I'm looking at this interview and the possibility of the things that may come out of my main concern is the child. And the reason that it is the child is because I can't help but seeing the little boy that I used to be in him. I can't help but see the reflection of who I used to be as a little boy inside of him. He loves his mama. Look at him. He looks affectionate towards his mother. That's all he knows.

[00:11:30]She's his protection. She's his shield.

[00:11:32]She's his nurturer and he loves her, but he loves his father, too. His father's not there. I remember when I first met my biological father and y'all going to have to forgive me because I said this was going to be a personal video. When I first met my biological father, I didn't know what to think. He showed up one Christmas and he had gifts. I was in the sixth grade. I remember standing there.

[00:11:53]No, I was in the fifth in the fourth grade. I remember standing there looking at him and he said, "Hello, Rock." And he called me Rock and I remember because in my mind I had all these ideas of how my daddy was going to be, how how strong he was going to be, how he would, you know, who he was going to be, you know, I just a little boy, just a little boy having been raised most of my, you know, up to the fourth grade without that father in my life, but I thank God for the men at my church. I thank God for my uncles, my Uncle Gerald, my Uncle Marty, my Uncle Wallace, all of my uncles who my Uncle Harold, all those great men who God knew that my aunts would marry, that would be instrumental in my life. All of my my Uncle Ralph and all of my great uncles, great cousins and different things like that who took the time to talk to Rock, teach Rock, mentor Rock.

[00:12:43]All of those things there so I wouldn't be lost. So, when I met him, I remember I had so much just so much emotion. I wasn't sad, I was happy and I just started crying cuz I just had so much just so much emotion. I just started crying and I can't help but seeing the little boy I used to be in this young man here. I can't help but do that. And you all in this, I'm going to take the stance that I've always took. I'm not taking a side. I'm at the interest of the child. I want the best thing and I'm praying that God gets all the glory out of this situation for this young man to get the best uh for what needs to come to him. And I'm praying that don't know trauma come to him.

[00:13:25]Don't know negativity that hinders his life from now on. I don't know how deep this interview will go and it is on Father's Day, but I hope that it's not something that turns him into something that that begins to beget other things just like that. He He ends up with a son and he's not present with his son that ends up with a son that's not present or ends up with a son that he that you know, introduces that trauma to the son and just I don't want that. I do not want that. And so y'all y'all y'all have to forgive me because I needed to speak my mind, you know, and you know what? I'm going to take that back. Don't forgive me. I'm speaking my mind because it needs to be spoken. I I'm It needs to be spoken and I know some people going to jump in the comments and say, "Well, Rocky, you're taking the the man's side." Y'all, I don't care nothing about Jamal Bryant. I don't. I don't care nothing about Jamal Bryant. And And I'm at the same time, I thank God for her, but we only hearing and going hear one side of the story. So, I just said that because somebody in the comments asked me, "Well, why aren't we talking about the real issue is him, you know, the son?" This is the issue that I'm looking at that doesn't seem like a lot of people are looking at. What is best for the child? What is best for the child? Let's ask ourselves that.

[00:14:37]What is best for the child? And I have to admit, I don't have all the information of the complexities and I'm quite sure the layers that are stacked up on both sides as to why she's doing this interview his mother is doing this interview and I don't have the complexity or the issues or whatever it may be and could be of why Jamal Bryant is absent in his life. All I want is for this young man on this screen to get everything that God's got for him and that God cover him and in this situation. That's all. That's all I'm praying for and all young men in this world, little boys in this world that are like him, I'm praying for him to succeed in spite of what the devil may be trying to conjure up. Y'all pray for me and y'all meet me in the comments so we can talk about it. Let's go.

[00:15:22]>> Yeah, social fire, we don't play.

[00:15:25]>> [music] [music] >> He the voice for the ones that the church forgot. He bring truth to the light whether light or not. [singing]
