The only daughter and the first child of Amber and T-Pain are named Lyriq. Yes, you’ve guessed it right; the rapper gave his firstborn the name, which is connected with music.

Muziq Najm (son)

Date of birth: January 24, 2007

T-Pain named all his kids with “musical” names. Musiq is his middle child with the wife Amber. Earlier his parents posted lots of pictures of their kids, but now they prefer to keep Muziq and his siblings out of the limelight, so not much is known about the boy’s interests now.

Kaydnz Kodah (son)

Shaheed is a father of 5 kids, and he taught to play the piano four of them. His son T-Pain was the only child, who decided not to take piano lessons, but he turned to be the first one to master the instrument. After that Shaheed understood, that his son was talented and he put lots of effort to help his talent to flourish.

He took his son out of public school at the age of 13. The boy was homeschooled, and the major part of his time he devoted to music.

In addition to his status as a father and a grandfather (Shaheed has 22 grandchildren), he is also a charity man.

Many young people call him “the second father” now.
