Taking to his IG page, Reno suggested a vasectomy on any man who is on minimum wage and still having many kids. Read what he wrote below:- “Your brother on MINIMUM WAGE had his 6th child and you CONGRATULATE him? He does not need CONGRATULATION. He either needs a bigger REMUNERATION or a VASECTOMY. In Africa, we give birth to children we can’t care for, and the children grow up to blame, not the parents, but uncles and aunties (who are struggling to bring up their own children), for not taking care of them. It breeds a cycle of DEEP FAMILY HATRED. Their children resent your own children for what little you can provide for them.
