Are you an early bird? Sundays, I’m gonna hang in bed. My wife and I do our prayers lying in bed and just talk. Then our son might pop in around 11.30am and say, ‘What you guys up to?’
What’s for breakfast? I’m a vegan, so tomatoes with avocado on toast is probably our most repeated breakfast.
Is it a religious day? Religion is a hard word for me to say, but I’ll say my way of life is Islam. Islam means peace; peace is the absence of confusion, so I strive not to be confused and to be at peace.
Sundays growing up? I grew up with five brothers and five sisters. My mother would cook bacon, eggs and grits and send us off to church with 50 cents to drop in the basket. As I got older, I started to re-evaluate things, so me and my brother [Wu-Tang manager] Divine would head to a mosque in Brooklyn. Then my Sunday mornings turned into Sunday evenings, because I partied all Saturday night.
Sunday housework? I’ll tell you how it works in my house. I’ll get out of bed, go to brush my teeth, and when I come out, the bed is fixed. I think my wife must be from I Dream of Jeannie or Bewitched.
Sunday movie? I get to vote for the Academy Awards, so I get sent all the screeners. So far, we’ve loved The Midnight Sky, Sound of Metal and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
Sunday wind-down? Before our Sunday night movie, I’ll say to my wife: ‘I’m just going to take an hour of me time.’ I might play chess on my phone or – if I’m lucky – lay down some beats.
Sunday wind-down? After the movie, I’ll turn over to [DIY channel] HGTV. You know how you’re getting older when you come home and start watching the news? Well, you know you’re a real family man when you start watching HGTV before you go to sleep on a Sunday.
Last thing before lights out? Kiss my wife.
