But he is also a doting dad, although, he wasn’t always as hands-on with his kids as he is today. “Being a guy who was raised in a single-parent household, I’m from that generation where the man makes the money,” Cedric told manenough.com. “But that was my way of taking care of the family. As long as you do that, you did your job. Now that my kids are teenagers, I’ve come to realize that I was a very distant father to my own kids, and it hurts when you realize you don’t know your children the way you should.” The pandemic let him slow down and see things from a different perspective and a little therapy helped, as well. “I take great pride in my kids being my kids because I’m their dad,” he continued in that same interview. “Sometimes you project an image of yourself, but when things slow down, you can see you let someone else do a lot of the work. You have no excuses when you don’t have to be anywhere.”
