Exploring Mike Epps’ latest interview and his apology towards his wife

On March 7’s episode of the podcast All the Smoke, Mike Epps appeared and spoke about the current state of comedy in the USA, Indiana basketball, Katt Williams, and more.

However, it was his remarks on never really treating all women right, that garnered traction online. He began by saying how he has “beautiful kids,” adding that he had his son around the same time his mother Jennifer Hudson passed away.

Mike mentioned how he never had a son before this and the infant now looks just like his grandmother.

“My mama gave me a son walking out the door, man!” he added, while the host said it was a “beautiful” way to put it. Epps further continued by saying how he used to cry and ask God what he did wrong that he couldn’t have a son. The Next Friday star then went on to answer his question.

“But I know what it was. I done lying to all these women, got them pregnant, and sold them dreams and sh*t, like that… I got five girls too… One thing I’m going to get right before I leave this earth, I’m gonna learn how to treat a woman a 100 percent right,” Mike stated.

When the host responded with “That’s dope!” Epps added that it was something he wished to do for his mother and his children, admitting that he has never treated a woman right 100 percent.

“Now that I’m getting older, I’m realizing man you gotta treat a woman right, Mike… You can’t cheat on her, you gotta be her friend. You gotta not be selfish… That’s one of my dreams,” he wrapped.

In the wake of the episode airing, Epps took to Instagram to apologize to his wife Kyra for being “ignorant and reckless” in their relationship and not treating her and their family right all the time, asking for forgiveness.

The post, which contained a photo of Kyra wearing a red dress, has since been removed.
