Young M.A eagerly tells in her interviews about her mother and grandmother but keeps so silent about her father. Even his name is not known to the wide audience of the rapper’s supporters.
The fact is, Mr. Marrero escaped from Katorah’s life when she was just 1 year old. He was released from prison when the future music star turned 11, but they didn’t become close as it seems. In any case, his identity is not known.
