He told Black America Web at the time about Ryan that:

"She’s preparing herself now. Her mom is doing everything she can to keep her down. She’s got the whole thing. She’s got a whole attitude and the expressions and all of that. I just did a new CD, and we did a song called “Stupid People”

And continued:

"That’s her title. Me and her wrote it and I put it on my CD. We’re talking about how people are running around shooting each other and doing all these crazy things.”

However, a few years ago there was some drama in the Levert household when the singer decided to pay tribute to his late son, Gerard, who released music back in the late '80s and died from a deadly interaction between his prescribed medications.

Eddie produced a play with Gerald's songs and memories, but some of his family members were not aboard with the idea, and others just wanted to claim a piece of the earnings.

"If you don’t include everybody in the family, you get a lot of flack from these people. Everybody thinks they deserve to get paid, too,” Eddie said. “You have all these people involved in their lives and Gerald’s lives and in his estate, you’ve got to clear everything so his kids can get paid for it."
