Rapper Rico 2 Smoove opened up about a life-altering moment during his time in juvenile detention. At just 15 years old, confined in Yolo County, Rico met his father for the first time. Unaware of the unexpected visit orchestrated by his mother, Rico was taken aback when she introduced the stranger as his father. Despite having no prior connection or recognition, the encounter left an indelible impression.

Rico described his father as an 'old pimp' who struggled to communicate beyond outdated slang. This brief interaction, unfortunately, didn’t foster a lasting relationship, leaving Rico disconnected from his paternal family's side.

Throughout the interview, Rico reflected on his challenging upbringing, including missing out on traditional teenage milestones due to his five-year incarceration. Yet amid adversities, he discovered a passion for education, thanks to a supportive teacher who encouraged him to engage with college-level historical content. This newfound educational pursuit has helped keep his focus sharp, envisioning life beyond his tumultuous beginnings.
