Hip-Hop needs way more father figures. But there are a number of rap dads who hold down their families and serve as great role models.

Will Smith

Will and Jada’s kids are like a dream team of talent. Daddy serves as the perfect role model and loves them unconditionally.

Sean “Diddy” Combs

While former Bad Boys artists stay beefing with Diddy, the man always finds time to shower attention on his children. Respect.

Snoop Dogg

You may feel a ways about him toking up with his son, but have you ever heard of Snoop’s kids being in trouble. Also, Cordell already has scholarship offers to play football for UCLA and USC, among others.

2 Chainz

The Hair Weave Killer’s date to the BET Hip-Hop Awards was his daughter. TRU!

50 Cent

You get the feeling that 50 is stacking bank to ensure that his seed is good money.

Rick Ross

The Bawse bought his son courtside to a Miami Heat game. You can’t be mad at that.

Nas

It seems like we’ve seen Destiny Jones grow up through Nas’ lyrics and he also penned the necessary tune called “Daughters.” He also dotes on his son, with Kelis, Knight.

Jay-Z

Blue Ivy will want for nothing and will surely be a daddy’s girl.

The Game

The Game’s Instagram is loaded with pics of himself, kicks and most importantly, his children

Andre 3000
