The-Dream finding fatherhood enriching

The-Dream finds it easier being a father now he's rich.

The rapper became a father for the fourth time earlier this year after wife Christina Milian gave birth to daughter Violet and says it was a lot harder raising his three children from a previous marriage because they struggled for money.

He told People: "This time's easier because I'm rich now. When I had my five-year-old, I was up all night and paying for milk with the last couple of cents I had, so it's a little easier now."

However, the musician - real name Terius Nash - admits he finds it hard to spend one-on-one time with the tot because of how close Christina and Violet are.

He said: "Christina's very attached. She doesn't let anybody near that baby. Not even me sometimes!"

But The-Dream loves every moment of being a father and wants all his children to help out others in life.

He said: "What I look forward to the most is influencing an individual to go out into the world and make the world a better place."

Before Violet was born, The-Dream lavished the unborn baby with gifts, including a car.

He revealed: "The baby already has a car, I got a house just for the baby - Christina can't get in the baby's car. I'm giving all my attention that I usually give to Christina to the baby, all the flowers I usually give Christina, I'm giving them to the baby."
