Early life

edit

Darrian Jimenez was born on March 8, 2008, in Harlem, New York City.[3] He grew up living with his paternal grandmother. "I was more grown," he recalled. “I was primarily raised by my grandma. I always lived in her houses; whenever I moved, the property belonged to her. I shared meals with her, and if I had lived with my parents, it wouldn't have lasted.”[4] Growing up as a rapper, he drew inspirations from Canadian rapper Drake and American rapper Lil Durk.[5][6]
