Adeyemi Huston and Kelle Huston are the parents of Nyjah Huston. The couple was parents to five kids - four boys and a girl.

Who is the father of Nyjah Huston?

Adeyemi Huston is the father of Nyjah Huston. He is a former skater himself and was not a fan of team sports. Instead, he wanted his kids to excel in skateboarding. The kids were born in Davis, California. In their residence, Adeyemi built obstacles and skate ramps for his kids to train on. He taught Nyjah in their own track for long hours during his young age, to help himslef shape into an exceptional athlete.

In 2006, Adeyemi Huston took his family to Puerto Rico, where they were isolated from practicing skateboarding. However, Adeyemi helped Nyjah to train in parks and street spots. His time in Puerto Rico was not very comfortable, as they were sometimes devoid of electricity and water. This experience eventually played a crucial role in Nyjah Huston's creating of his own clean water charity. However, despite his father’s support, this period pushed Huston a little back in his skating career due to the absence of facilities and sponsors. Around 2008, the parents of Huston separated and he and his sister Isha remained with Adeyemi Huston in Puerto Rico for two years before moving in with their mother in California.
