after his son Jaycee was arrested for Drug Possession in 2014. In an interview, talking about how his son lacked discipline, he revealed that when he met Jaycee in the US, his son was having difficulty standing straight in one place, how he kept moving while talking, he even told his son, “You don’t know how to talk”.
