In the opening verse, Roddy delves into the heart-wrenching custody battle with his ex-girlfriend over their three-year-old son, which recently concluded with a joint custody agreement. His lyrics poignantly capture the emotional toll of the legal struggle: “I been goin’ through child support/ A good daddy, I vouch for it/ She just want a new mile for/ Fuck a ride, fell out with some of my homies, havin’ too much pride.”
Roddy also addresses his battle with lean addiction, a recurring theme in his music. His raw admission, “Pride myself off the progress of being off codeine/ I promise, it’s so hard to shake,” underscores the difficulty of overcoming addiction and the resilience required to stay clean.

Roddy’s custody battle with Alexandra Kiser ended this month with a detailed arrangement. The rapper will have physical custody of their son from Tuesday through Thursday each week. Additionally, he has committed to paying $8,000 a month in child support, covering private school tuition, medical expenses, special-needs therapy, and extracurricular activities.
Beyond child support, Roddy is also responsible for Kiser’s $37,500 legal fees and a $1,000 monthly stipend for her car. These concessions were part of a settlement after Kiser initially sought sole custody, citing concerns about Roddy’s gang affiliations and substance use.
“Rodrick Moore is gang-affiliated,” Kiser alleged in court filings, using Roddy’s legal name. “He has been arrested on a gun charge, domestic violence and regularly indulges in promethazine use, all of which are concerns for myself and our son.” She further claimed that Roddy had cut her off financially and attempted to evict her from a home he provided.
Roddy’s journey through these personal and legal challenges is reflected in his music, offering fans a glimpse into his life beyond the spotlight. His candidness about his struggles with addiction and family issues not only humanizes him but also serves as an inspiration to those facing similar battles.
