The 37-year-old rapper-and-actress has taken her father Linwood Jones into her home so she can care for him as he has a case of the dementia condition, reported New York Post.

"My father had ex-wife troubles. Also health issues. He shakes. Spills coffee and food. We have to cook for him, pour his juice. His sickness wasn't diagnosed, but it's a small case of Alzheimer's. I know about 'Honour Thy Father and Mother'. My father and I were estranged, but I've taken him in. He lives with me,"

The rapper, whose real name is Kimberly Denise Jones, has a bad reputation because she was jailed for a year for conspiracy and perjury in March 2005.

 

But the "Superhero Movie" actress is adamant her reputation is unjustified because she is actually a good person with morals.

"People around me know I do good. Nobody gives me a chance. It was difficult when I went away. It's still difficult. But God's working on helping to understand me. Someday people will," she added.
