It's probably the mother's guilty conscience.

ETA: Why does Monica have custody of his child? Why doesn't his mother have custody? Things that make you go hmmmmmmm....
Monica said that she had "2 lives" if you will. Her father was "in the game"; while her mother wasn't. Her parents were not together, so she lived her mother's "life" while with her. When she visited her father, she lived his "life". It was 2 different worlds and 2 different ways of surviving/living. This is all according to Monica. Sooooo, is it hard to believe that she is into "gangstas"? I guess she doesn't discriminate. Shoooootttt, there are MANY college-educated gangstas out there, too.
Erykah had a song about it...
If she likes it....I luv it!
