Logic has revealed that he is no longer able to speak to his estranged mother.
In an interview on The Adam Friedland Show, the rapper opened up about the complicated relationship he has with both of his parents.
During the course of the chat, Logic admitted he hadn’t seen his mother in over a decade, saying: “One of the last times I had spoken to my mom was on my 21st birthday. And I hadn’t seen her in a few years. And the thing about my mother is, she’s just a mentally ill person.”
He added: “I’ve definitely relinquished any anger or any of that that I had. But I hadn’t seen her in a few years since I was probably 17, 18. And the last time I had seen her, she was like covered in blood and naked and screaming and the police were there. It was a whole thing.”
Back in 2012, Logic used the song “Dear God” to claim that his mother attempted to kill him when he was just nine-years-old.
He rapped: “What about the time I was nine and my mama almost murdered me? / Don’t think I forgot that shit, it still burdens me / Her bare hands tight around my throat /’I can’t breathe’ I screamed, ‘I can’t breathe, Mama / Don’t you want me, Mama? Don’t you love me, Mama? What the fuck?’”
Logic also has a complicated relationship with his father and last year he interviewed him on his own podcast.
Addressing his father’s past crack addiction, Logic said while sobbing: “There’s a part of me that has grown and developed mentally, but there is still that little boy that’s still waiting on the curb for his dad.”
He added: “I waited every weekend and you never showed up. You always said that you would […] I look at my son and I think how much my son means to me. I’m a man of my word today because you aren’t.
“I want you to know that it really hurt [and] I just want to ask: what is it like as a man who used a substance that would allow you to make that little boy wait forever? Was it worth it?”
