Rapper Yung Joc is notorious for his interest in women and roving eyes. After going through multiple relationships and cheating on countless women, he finally decided to settle down with his attorney wife, Kendra Robinson. Unfortunately, when Joc finally went public about his relationship with Kendra, some women from his past weren't entirely happy about it. For instance, on 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta' we saw Karlie Redd declaring that Joc was still hung up on her, despite him being in a happy relationship with Kendra.

The reality star tried really hard to sabotage the relationship between Joc and his lady love, which didn't sit well with Kendra. So, Joc took a rather extreme step to reassure his current wife that he has his heart and eyes only on her. In an interview with Tiffany Pollard, while appearing on her show 'Brunch with Tiffany', the 'It's Goin' Down' rapper discussed his new tattoo.

Getting your partner/ lover's name on your body isn't something new. While most people resort to getting these names inked on their forearm, or fingers, or even chest, Joc took it a step further and decided to get Kendra's name tattooed on his penis. Tiffany then asked the question that was on all of our minds, why that area? Joc explained, "I don't think you can take it on the head. You'd probably pass out... It's on the side." He also shared a few other details about the process by revealing that a numbing cream was applied to the area before the inking process and that the tattoo is in black color.

He also explained why he felt the need to take such an extreme step by pointing at his infamous past reputation of being a serial dater and cheater. "Somebody would say, 'That's crazy. Why would you do something like that?' Well, I knew that with my type of history, my background when it came to women, I just knew somebody was going to be coming out of the woodwork saying some stuff. Just like Karlie (Redd) kind of tried to come out and say that she was messing with me." shared the rapper. He also pointed how the women who claim to have slept with him can't make up any false claims anymore because of the tattoo. He explained, "I knew, with my lady being an attorney, that was going to be the one key piece of evidence that if those people did not know, then they definitely won't be able to lie on me."

Kendra and Joc got engaged in March 2019, and their proposal aired on 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta'. The rapper has eight children with four different women. He was also in an on and off relationship with Karlie and Kadiyah, which was shown extensively on VH1's hit reality show.

'Love & Hip Hop: It's a Love Thing' premieres on February 1 at 8 pm only on VH1.
