When asked, in the interview, about how many children she has, Teena explained that though she has one biological child, she ended up raising Rick’s son (above) because, well…”cocaine is a helluva drug”:

Teena Marie- “I have a daughter who sings….she’s really awesome…she’s with me every night [performing] and she goes by the name of Rose LeBeouf (Rose has since changed her stage name to Alia Rose).

I have also helped to raise many children. I have four other ‘daughters’ that call me Mom and..I raised Rick’s son, little Ricky. And um, Rick was a funny cat, he um, he couldn’t find his kids…LOL. Cocaine is a helluva drug.

So his sister and I, we went looking for Ty and lil’ Rick, and we found lil’ Rick when he was about eight and his sister, Ty, was eleven….
