Hiplife pioneer Reggie Rockstone has delved into his enduring passion for music and his unique outlook on life.
In an interview, Reggie recounted his early introduction to the world, sharing, “My father was dating one of the nurses in the hospital that I was born in. Of course, my mother didn’t know. That night, nurses came to see his first son. He always said to me, ‘Reggie, when you were born, you had an audience.’”
Emphasizing his deep-rooted connection to music, he stated, “I was born to do this. But of course, there’s a spiritual higher meaning to this. I don’t think God just made me to be famous and just be, you know. That’s why I try to use my celebrity to impact lives, to do good.”
Discussing his approach to aging, Reggie expressed, “I don’t celebrate birthdays no more. I don’t go to funerals. I never been to a funeral. I don’t believe that I should have a calendar for my checkout time. We’re all gonna leave. It’s like counting the days. I just live free. Every day is my birthday.”
He also touched on the perceptions of age in the music industry, noting, “Sometimes when I’m on social media and some of these young kids say ‘old man’ like they say it as if in a condescending way. And I’m like, you’re stupid. You got to live to be old. Some people are dead. I’m alive. Looking good.”
Reggie’s reflections offer a glimpse into the mindset that has sustained his decades-long career and his commitment to living authentically.
