Brandy’s Daughter Sy’Rai, Chilli’s Son Tron And Biggie’s Son C.J. On ‘Family Legacy,’ Nepo Babies And Pressure To Succeed
What was it like revisiting all that footage? Did you learn anything new about your parents?
C.J.: I’ve heard so many stories about unseen footage of my dad that I’m literally hunting down to this day. It’s always cool when you get to see some of those things. I don’t have a lot of family video of him, obviously this is before iPhones and s**t, so there’s no footage of him anywhere really – unless the iconic photos of him. Being able to see any type of old school footage of him outside of performances, outside of interviews, even stuff in the studio – I’ve never seen a lot of footage of him in the studio being in the creative process – those are always really cool moments for me.
Sy’Rai: Everything I kind of knew about but to revisit it is just crazy – seeing her pregnant, seeing her perform when she was 15… It is a different era than what we live in now. So I’ve always said, ‘mom, you had me at the wrong time. I should have grown up in the early 2000s and the ’90s. Seeing it through her eyes and just reacting to it was crazy. I loved every moment of it.
Tron: It was dope. I got to see my mom and my dad young. They showed me clips of both of them because I see more young clips of my mom – so I kind of paused for a second. I was like, ‘yo, man, this man got braces and everything.’ [laughs]. My mom kept her actual pregnancy kind of hidden. I’ve only seen photos like Polaroids and stuff, but to see her talk about it and as an aspiring father myself … It was surreal.
