Logic and his father have had a pretty complicated relationship since he was a child, and he’s revealed how an attempted reunion during adulthood wasn’t what he hoped it would be.
Talking to comedian Andrew Santino (of Dave fame) on his Whiskey Ginger podcast, Logic recalled an instance where his dad asked him for a whopping $1million upon seeing each other for the first time in a while.

His father’s request caused a rift that led them not to speak for some time again – and when they tried reuniting another time later, it was the same old song.
“Last time when I was talking to my dad, he asked me for a million dollars,” Logic began. “Fuck no I didn’t give it to him. He said: ‘I want a million dollars.’ I said: ‘For what?’ He said: ‘For my band so that we can buy a house and make music in it.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ So I ask him once we get back together: ‘Please don’t ask me for money. Can we just fucking throw catch or some shit?’ And he’s like, ‘Alright! Alright.'”

He continued: “This muthafucka flies in, he’s not there for six hours and he’s like, ‘I need you to buy me a truck.’ Immediately! And then that goes into, ‘I need you to pay all my bills.’ And then I’m like, ‘Dad, no.'”
Watch Logic’s interview with Santino below:
Logic has been very vocal about his issues with his father since he came into the rap game, and once detailed how his father stole his identity when was just 10 years old.
“Dad never really lived with me and when he did live with us he would steal things,” Logic told VIBE in 2014. “I remember one time he stole my identity. My name is Sir Robert Bryson Hall II and his name is Robert Bryson Hall and he used my social security card and got like 10 credit cards under my name and was buying and doing all these things and potentially could have ruined my credit before it even began, but I was 10 years old and the government realized it.”
In other news, Logic will take his College Park album on the road with friend and Three 6 Mafia co-founder Juicy J later this month.
