Mendeecees Reflects on Life and Family Before Starting 8 Year Prison Sentence

Love & Hip Hop cast member Mendeecees Harris has turned himself in for an eight-year prison sentence, and before leaving he penned an emotional letter to his Instagram followers. The reality star started out by saying, "I know for some of you it feels like we've been here before, it's the never ending story or some of you are probably so sick of hearing about me and this case that you completely tapped out and just don't give a F#%k anymore." 

Harris then spoke candidly about the disadvantages he faced in his childhood and how he was able to overcome them as an adult through raising a family of his own. He then gave advice to other men, "Fathers, go raise men! Men to lead their family. Men to do the right thing. No matter what you had to do or may still be doing raise them babies right! Also, when you raise a man you teach an individual but when you raise a woman you build a nation."
