The Heat Magazine: You have a strong bond with your mother Kawanda, tell the Heat Magazine about how she inspires you!
Teezy: My mother, she inspires me the greatest, all of the fussing and the lectures were only words of encouragement. It taught me, and still is currently teaching me the values of becoming a successful young man! My mom is one of the strongest, if not the strongest woman I know. Raising me on her own for over 10 years and now has to do it until I’ve reached the stage of a man. I love you mom!
