AceShowbiz - While all eyes are on the bitter rivalry between some of the hottest rappers these days, Yung Bleu puts the spotlight on his personal life in his latest album "Jeremy". The Alabama native reveals that his son Jace has autism on one of the songs off his new album.
Following the release of "Jeremy" on Friday, April 26, a number of Instagram accounts posted audio clips of the song in which Bleu gets candid about finding out his son Jace, whom he says is "heaven sent," is having autism and learning how to be a better father.
Seemingly expressing his regret for not treating his ex better, he raps, "Remember sittin' on the couch together/ We bought a house together/ I love you like Jordan love basketball/ but you can bounce whenever/ That's what I said but I never meant that/ I hope you ain't thinkin' bout gettin' get back/ I f**ked up your trust and I can't admit that/ It's like I became a monster."
He continues to address his children, "I don't think I'm prepared for Superstarter/ It feel amazing lookin' at my daughter/ I hope she don't grow up to hate her father/ I send my love to Corbin and Carson/ but Jace is who my superstar is/ My eyes get weary/ My youngest son got autism/ So I'm learning to listen more than I ever did/ I want you to know that you heaven sent/ You might be better than me/ You see my soul clearer every day."
Many parents with similar challenges love that Bleu makes use of his music to raise awareness about autism. "I love this. We need more awareness on this," one reacted to the song and its emotional lyrics. Another penned, "Now this makes me wanna take a listen!! One of his realest songs I've heard. #NewarkStandUp."
"I love that more celebrities are bringing awareness," a third gushed, while a mother commented, "As a parent of a autistic son I APPROVE THIS." A fifth person added, "Shoutout to him as a black father acknowledging his sons autism as a REAL thing. Now he can love & teach him in the ways he can process & understand."
