According to him, ancestry test he took on a website revealed that he is more Nigerian than American.

When asked why he mentioned Nigeria in the lyrics of one of his hit songs disclosed, he said, “Shout out to Nigeria, I did my 23 and me ancestry dot com and my shit came back like 53% Nigerian. Yea! Me and my mum need to have a talk.”

He also expressed his eagerness to visit Nigeria, saying, “I gat to go to Nigeria… I gat to go see that place.”
