"This is for people that don't know me - you're talking to a son of a mother who's from Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean. Okay? My pops is Haitian. Okay? I grew up eating straight roti, rice in peas, curry goat... I grew up eating all that. You feel me? Then, I had a group of six people in my school who were straight Jamaican. Why do you keep thinking I keep saying I'm from a Spanish town?"
The two-time Streamer of the Year award winner continued:
"I had friends growing up that were strictly from Spanish town - Kingston, Portmore, okay? I was rushing home after school with my Jamaican friends to go play dominoes (and) Ludi. I was playing Ludi every day after school!"
