TMZ grabbed RZA for a quick stop-and-chat and asked the rapper “How young is the youngest you should be to twerk?” in reference to the latest Miley Cyrus twerking video, to which RZA replied, “At least 16 and up.” He then went on to reveal that his own mother was pregnant at 16 and he doesn’t want this for future generations, including his son. “Don’t rush the childhood. It’s the shortest part of your life…my childhood ended at 11.”

Naww, RZA. It’s always nice to see a softer side to rappers.
