The 27-year-old rapper, who has two-year-old Sebastian with estranged wife Amber Rose, says he takes inspiration from his own childhood and mother, Peachie Wimbush, when it comes to raising the little boy.

The 'Black and Yellow' hitmaker told PEOPLE: "[As a parent], when stuff happens, I'm like, 'Oh man, this is what my mom was going through.

"She's always there when I need her."

Asked what he is trying to pass on to his son, he said: "Pretty much everything [I learned from my mother]. All the simple stuff, like using your manners."

Peachie, 51, and Wiz are still very close and she says he "still takes out the garbage when he's home."

The duo have a lot in common and Wiz added: "I got my laugh from my mom. She approaches people with love."

Meanwhile, Amber recently admitted she is desperate to get back together with Wiz for Sebastian's sake.

She said: "We're not back together but ideally I would like to. He's the love of my life and we have a beautiful kid together but right now we're just dating other people.

"'We're working on our friendship and co-parenting for Sebastian which is the most important thing."
