"But I was on Instagram and I was talking s**t to people who was talking s**t to me on live. [...] Y'all see me with me kids, y'all see how I adore my kids, how my kids adore me. That's not even a real thought on getting them tested."

He added: "I'mma apologize to both of my kids' moms. Man, I'm sorry for any disrespect I ever caused y'all 'cause I know I've been disrespectful as f**k in the past years. It's a new year. I'm turning over a new leaf. But still. I know I've been disrespectful. I don't give a f**k if you disrespected me or not. I'm sorry."
The "No Problem" rapper expanded his apology beyond his children's mothers, addressing all women he may have wronged. Scrappy acknowledged his poor treatment of women in the past, holding himself accountable and committing to better behavior moving forward.

"How you gon' deplete a man, and you got a whole man you got to raise?" he asked. "You should be trying to build men up 'cause you got a whole son. The f**k is wrong with you? You should be trying to build women up. You got a whole daughter... a whole woman you gotta raise!"
Admitting to his past as a "whole f**k n***a," Scrappy said his behavior stemmed from pain and frustration but vowed to break the cycle and change for the better.
