Doubling Down with the Derricos episode 5 had all the fans in tears as Amani finally met his family. He is the son of Chris Derrico, who passed away in 2020, without getting to know that he had a son. Recently, Amani's mother told him that she had a physical relation with a Derrico and that was how he contacted Deon, Chris' brother.
Now that the DNA test has confirmed his parentage, the Derricos traveled to Detroit to meet Amani and to celebrate GG's birthday.

She felt that the trip was worth it and did not want to let go of him while hugging, confessing that she only stopped hugging so that he could meet others.
