Early and personal life
Reginald Miot was raised in "a good home," not "subjected to the harsh realities of living in the hood," in Canarsie, Brooklyn, New York.[8] His father is Haitian and his mother is Trinidadian, which led to him listening to soca music as a child, in addition to hip hop and R&B.[9] He attended college for a year before getting expelled and initially wanted to pursue a career in basketball. He then spent some time in jail, and started considering a music career seriously upon being released.[10] He is affiliated with the Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips.[11] The rapper has three children, a son born on March 23, 2022, a daughter born June 11, 2022, and another son born in August 2022.[2]
