Dadvengers Podcast Episode 26 - Krept
This week's guest is a massive name in the UK hip-hop scene, host of the BBC show The Rap Game UK, star of the BBC documentary "This Is England", and creator of a baby skincare range!
Krept became a dad just two years ago, and Nala is the center of his world! He makes life work around her. She has taught him that he can put family and relationships first and still be successful. He and Nala's mum separated, and they co-parent Nala. His main philosophy for making this work is no matter what happens, you put the kids first!
He is also grieving the recent death of his uncle - the main male role model in his life. This loss has created new sense of responsibility for Krept. Something we think a lot of dads will relate to.
Krept is another great example of what we think a Dadvenger should be, and we loved hearing his story 💙
