Hanks opened up about how he got sober after welcoming his daughter. In an emotional video shared on Instagram, he stated, “I want to share something today because it’s about to be shared anyway in the press, which is the fact that I have a daughter,” he said. “She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. She’s the reason why I turned my life around and got sober. I’ve been sober for over a year and a half from everything.”
The rapper continued, “She’s something that I love that’s changed my life, but the fact is she’s about to be shared with everybody, so I wanted you to hear it from me before you hear it from the media.”
His ex, Tiffany Miles, is very private
