This guy is a legend... One of the greatest actors alive ...& shooter is a great NEXFLIX series #OmarGOATS
Vey profound title...fathers are important. 💯
Mad respect for opening up. I'm a daddyless daughter. My dad left around 9/10. I searched for him for most of my adult life. I found out he died and it still affected me. I'll never get answers to my questions, but I'm fine with it because I know I did everything I could to find him.
Dwayne Divine No Sir. Why would I?

Some of the strongest men in the world didn’t have fathers. Sometimes going through tough things helps you grow
LegitMusic ,
Some of the strongest women have had no father or sometimes mother. Mostly people who came up that wanted more have grown up to be more than what their parents were
pointless statement
Kid Hartha Very...
Sorry to spam up the comments section but its really lovely and special to see n hear Sway speaking knowledge n advice to DB. From the heart.
This subject I feel is one of the most important subjects in life because so many people in the world is effected by it from childhood to adulthood it's so much life to this subject...
Omar Epps is a legend!! One of my favorite roles of his is when he played Q in the movie Juice, hands down one of the greatest movies of all time!! RIP to Q Tip & 2 Pac🙏
Jon Munday *roles
Malika Zaiahna you got me on that, thanks for the correction🤜🤛
Lol q tip isnt dead
Markysha Washington I'm a complete idiot🤣🤣🤣

From Juice to Higher Learning to The Wood to Love and B-Ball, this man is a legend.
God bless you omar epps your whole career just been motivational man thank you for staying true to what you believe in man been a fan since juice
Single father here. Been bringing up my now 13 yr old daughter solo since she was 10.
Also, yes my father and mother went their separate ways when i was about 2yrs old and until I was about 18yrs old i didn't think it affected me not having a pops around but once I started to become a man it really fckd with me...Any friends I had growing up who were from secure, married couples at home was really the minority and felt weird tio me although I guess deep down I was kinda jealous. Peace
💯
Omar Epps is right #DaddyWound issues (#MommyWounds, #AbsentParentWounds) can take a lifetme to unpack.
Omar Epps one of the best actors of my time
Thanks for providing balanced JOURNALISM, and demonstrating ways to extract quality content from guest interviews, regardless of guest's agendas, and without sensationalism!!!
I was always happy to see my father too!!
Higher Learning is my shit ! Omar a legend
My Dad Died When I was too young To Develop a Functional Relationship.....One Love.....And Props to Sway For Playing Ed Og & The Bulldogs "Be A Father To Your Child"......
Wonderful, wonderful input Heather B
great interview 👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you
Dope episode.
Great interview!!!
This was a great conversation and it brings up allot of emotions within self. Thanks Omar and Sway for bringing this topic because it is something that needs to be addressed.
I admired this guy for being strong despite of being fatherless. I love all his movies. I am reading his book and its very good. OMAR IS AN INSPIRATION to All Us Black people.
Hopefully this video will get more views. Fatherhood is critical. Such a missing element in the black community for a number of reasons.Kudos Omar Epps.
appreciating the conversation😊
Omg I'm so happy they brought my childhood boyfriend on here. Seriously though thats awesome Omar. Break those generational curses.
If you can, pray for DB to find the courage to seek out his dad. I don't know DB personally, but I could hear the pain was still as raw as probably when his dad left.
I got immense respect for Brother Omar Epps; he is a maverick actor. However- his book about fatherhood and discourse is salient in the current epoch we reside. The urban inner city does not advocate fatherhood neither marriage. Thus- leaving young men to the streets, friends, rap music, and movies as a bad or good influence on not having a father. And- the immaturity, rage, bad decisions are the adverse affects of not having a father. I had a father whom I lived with. We had a tumultuous rocky relationship. As I got older, I forgave and respect him. I understood my father as I matured and evolved. And- looked to God to heal those inner hurt and wounds that He can only heal.
first time felon is one of the best independent films ever made
I haven’t seen my father since I was 15 yrs old and I would never reach out to that man
Nice Interview Sway!..........Oakland,Ca. Stand Up!!!
My grew up without father knew him .... he seem me grew up but he didn't know how I looked till I turned 23 .... he past last year ... i was more hurt that that he built a bound with my daughter as her grandfather she past when she was 3 .... I understand no one is perfect in life but was trying to be a great grandfather then he was father to his kids. He made his son into great father with him not being in our lives
All those emotions in 30 minutes I love it very insightful interview I like everyone's viewpoint
You got the juice now!!!
Actually, I think my dad did me a big favor by staying in the background. He had some demons like heroin addiction. We did get a chance to discuss it. I told him that he did me a big favor , and he acknowledged how I always treated him with respect. He came into some money and sent word out that he wanted to give me some.. I didn’t want a dime from him. I just hugged my Daddy..
I have always very held a high regard towards Omar Epps work as an actor and it later extended into him as an overall person, this just raises the bar of respect that much higher. Regardless of anyone's opinion there is no excuse for a parent to help create child/children and not be involved in their lives/upbringing. There are many scenarios of how two parents get to the point of one or both being absent, but in all of them the children are the innocent ones because they do not ask to be brought into this world.
This is dope to as black men it is very important for us to be around our children. However its important to appreciate our mothers. In Islam a mother is not 1 or twice but three times more important than a father. For me I was a brought up by my sister and am telling you it is the hardest thing ever because a mother or a father looking after their child is just different that maternal connection makes a parent pay more attention to your education, upbringing and just care more. Although my sister did her best but no way near the same. I always notice it with my friends who came from a two parent home it made a lot of difference to how they turned out to just having that one person who is just their for you. Its just hard to explain unless you been their. So ppl appreciate that one parent you have. Peace
Did Omar say, "we rationalize our traumas to maintain sanity?" That is it: people with or without both parents must account for how we allow society to brand our success or lack thereof. Like Sway said - it is a LOVE ISSUE.
I like what you do sway
He aging like fine wine
Be what you never had and let a young person call you Dad
💯
"You not no cop J Reed"

Aye q........Aye q...... meet me at the pool hall
I missed my mom way more than my dad. But, that’s because my mother was killed when I was 4.
Sway I think we have to stay focused on the system. I don't believe you can fully blame someone who happens to not be the one in a million or 1 in a billion person of strength that you are!
Salute Aqua brother. Also, have mystery composition. #puzzleridesbook
True about the slavery, I can't call no one a hater, just on comments alone, there is more to it, now, 50 plus years, and other factors, give me great joy to read the comments, yet, ignore the emotional impact on us all. Most folks can't tell you what 5 countries slaves came from, without using Google. I was bless, my mom (R.I.P) had strong men around me, my dad never really left ( R.I.P). We need to stop attacking each other men and women and think about our future. Nuff said.
Didn't Producer Kobie Brown do a entire series called From Fatherless To Fatherhood?? I remember seeing it on Aspire or OWN either way it was GREAT.
Omar Epps and Lil G of the Rnb group silk are the same person
Aye who else seen SWAY on Luke Cage the Netflix Marvel series 😂😂😂💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽....I SAID AAHH MA NIGGA SWAY
how did you deal with the bitterness as a child? via absent parent or not we must ponder questions for closures/healing. just a thought.
Men have mislead other men over the course of time - war, sexism, etc. Let us pray they realize the root of their anger is within themselves.
It is the complete opposite in the African community
Our black men stay in the lives of their kids
They raise them to be Good people and valuable to the society
A child should be your pride and joy
I love my Dad and he was there every single day till he passed away
He instilled confidence in me and I emulated a lot of his behavior kindness ambition and love
He was educated and I knew I wanted to be a professional just like him and even get more advanced degrees
Black AMERICAN GUYS PLEASE STOP LEAVING YOUR KIDS
love THEM AND GUIDE THEM
I believe mass incarceration for blacks will reduce if women stop having kids of of wedlock and the men stay and raise the kids they have.
And- the severe effects of lack of fatherhood on Black young girls and females is horrid. Thus- compelling a lot of women to contend with domestic abuse, low self esteem, perverted lifestyle, attracting men who are very disrespectful towards her....etc.
I AIN'T TRYING TO TELL YOU SHIT..... "I TELL YO MOMMA YOU AIN'T SHIT"

Moon King.
Its not an excuse if the mother is against you
CAUZ Elohim If a man really cared he'd seek legal action.
CAUZ Elohim Yeah but that doesn't always work in The Father's Favor.... Sad but True....
Malika Zaiahna Your assumtion says that the legal system benefits fathers involvement let alone actually is a remedy for mothers treating children as possessions. The influence beyond the fragmented weak standards of what ppl believe or define as fatherhood and what a fathers own intentions are in theyre childrens lives are two different things. Im a single father who didnt have one.
Omar reminds me a lil of cassidy in the face
Hotspitta11 been saying tht for years 😭😭😭 lol and the coach from the steelers
A1is Dope lol
I can see it
With skirt?
Dom Jú, you got a point bruh.
He’s my uncle
good luck dr.foreman
#DONT4GETABOUTUS
Sway's dad is hiding under his hat, that's why he hardly sees him
Little lizard 😂😂😂😂
No disrespect to these guys and their mothers but it's because majority of black women from the inner city's don't want to have. Kids with the responsible hard working non flashy black man, they always go for the opposite.
Mellanated Richly facts
Mellanated Richly true indeed.
WOW!!!
If only our men and women didn’t hate each other so much..
As a black woman , I have been on the receiving end of so much hate from our men..
I love how no one wants to be accountable!!
Melanated Richly, wow!! You sound like a woman hating male.
Sad that you’re spreading bullshit lies about all the Blackwomen, because you know them all, huh?
You really sound angry sis.
This guy cheated on Sanna Lathan for his current wife. He should write a book about how to successfully cheat.
Cheating is his business, but Sanna Lathan!? Bruh, how can you cheat on perfection!?
