Anderson .Paak on Directing His Son Soul in the Family Comedy "K-Pops" & the Future of Silk Sonic

[@jesstheromantic]

I admire the fact that the quarantine helped him see he wasn't as involved in his children's lives and he decided to do something about it.

[@channelZER01]

Literally remember this kid beimg like 6 or 7. Crazy

[@soulojay047]

time flying

[@Noirmariposa]

Him reaching out to fix Soul’s collar was the cutest thing .

[@kuunami]

He just wanted to spend time with his son. That's awesome.

[@MentalStillness]

The Paakman keeps on winning. I've been a fan for years and I've enjoyed watching his evolution.

[@MrXanderson]

Watching my guy A. Paak Shakur get into his middle age and into the "what else I can do outside of music/how can I invest my legacy into my children and how can I build a legacy for my children" phase of his career is hella rewarding as a fan. So happy to see his growth over the past decade or so.. He's had a great run and he's still on it..

[@AmberColeman-gq1wn]

You’re comparing him to Tupac..? Really. That’s wild and ridiculous

[@MrXanderson]

@@AmberColeman-gq1wn 1. it's a funny/endearing nickname.. not a comparison. 2. Tupac and Anderson are both equally great artists.. Who earned all praise.. 3. Bye Felicia..

[@onnaquest]

He's def still on it. I caught the Malibu tour last month and was completely blown away. I feel pretty confident in saying the best has yet to come.

[@jadajohnson7649]

WOW!!! I did not realize Anderson was so handsome. I agree that he seems different -- mature and just all around healthy. Very impressed with Soul.

Those Korean genes are STRONG

[@Hbd2002]

Anderson‘s mom is half Korean so his son got Korean genes from both sides

[@nunungema4412]

I have sat next to this man. The most humble down to earth musician l have ever met. Love you Paak Anderson. Can't wait to see the movie

[@walking-in-heals]

I’m so excited for them! His is son is definitely a natural performer. It's inspiring to see Anderson, who is so accomplished, push himself and even seem a bit nervous in the interview. I look forward to the project!

[@shinebabyshine.]

This is so dope. Their sense of humor is everything and I used to love watching their skits during the early Covid days so excited to see their movie.

[@mitchelphiri6501]

Soul speaks so mature and intelligently

[@GlennDGrace]

The more I learn about this multifaceted creative, the more I’m inspired be his energy. He’s a dad too! Amazing 😊

[@AprilRoxStudios]

Inspiring watching .Paak’s journey. Sweet,sincere & endearing interview.

[@march15th]

I sent this video to my son and said... "This could be us, but you TRIPPIN!"

[@minnaw1009]

Haha! I remember that meme from Tumblr. I also discovered Paak via Tumblr lol

[@Gi_the_guy]

This is so good for them! I’m so happy for the both of them and I’m glad he’s been able to spend time with him. He’s such a good father and husband.

[@vanessaseymour2634]

Anderson just divorced his wife of 13 years. Infidelity may have been one of the reasons. I still love his art, although it makes it more difficult.

[@stellarhyme3]

@@vanessaseymour2634 I’m pretty sure there was more than infidelity involved if at all. People grow apart & divorce is normal. He’s not a criminal for divorcing someone.

[@vanessaseymour2634]

@stellarhyme3 I said that infidelity may have been ONE of the reasons. Both he and Bruno Mars as the duo Silk Sonic, reportedly overindulged in many vices. Mars also ended a 13 year relationship with his partner. I wish I were a fly on the wall during that time.

[@des_elise]

@@vanessaseymour2634 You're weird...

[@vanessaseymour2634]

​@des_elise I am such a fan of Silk Sonic, that I just want to know what went down during that creative process. They decided to to do an homage to 70's soul music in 2021, and was able to bring along a multi-generational fan base, chart high and have a wildly successful Las Vegas residency. I find it fascinating. I also enjoy both their solo projects. You can feel the joy and love for their profession. It's a money grab that some artists engage in knowing their stans will except even mediocre work. Anderson and Bruno are perfectionists and it shows.

[@SikeNawGaming]

5:55 This wasnt much, but it was A LOT at the same time! He loves his son, and wants him to be strong and represent himself to the World with confidence and dignity! 🔥

I so love when Anderson, asked his son, "What do you know about BET" I love this his so very much, because usually wome, not all mixed race children grown-up, and never look back or were not taught about all racial aspects of life that they come from or came from! It was like this comedian I watch and love, and one of his jokes was, something like this; I use to use racial slurs, because he was racist sed by his awesome Videos his Awesome White Mother, who raised him around all White People. Um IL is he day, someone told him, that the racial slurs he was using, was also against him Hindu Indian mixed with with White, was against him! For on their I believe he woke the hell up, pretty damn quickly!!
