Lionel Richie did not mince words when US Weekly asked him for his thoughts on his daughter Sofia, 19, being in the news a lot lately for her relationship with Scott Disick, 34.

When asked if he was happy for the new couple, the multi-Grammy winner quipped, “I’m scared to death, are you kidding me?”.
