"I felt normal. At the end of the day, we have kids together so I cannot hate her. If she succeeds, my kids will automatically succeed. I just want her to succeed so if it is for me to play a role with her for the kids to get a good standing. She has been the one taking care of the kids since our issues began. The bigger picture is that I cannot hate her because of the kids."

Funny Face said he could not harbour hatred towards his estranged baby mama while simultaneously loving his daughters.

He noted that he saw their collaboration on the project as an opportunity to project Vanessa to a higher level in the movie industry and achieve tremendous success in her career.
