Early life
Atkins was born in the Queens borough of New York City.[2]
He was raised as a Jehovah's
Witness by his mother, health care worker Debra Atkins,[3]
and grandparents. When Atkins
was five, his mother gave birth to a stillborn baby named Kristen, leaving him as an only
child. (He talks about Kristen in the song "Daddy's Little Baby.") Atkins attended Public
School 134 in Hollis, a school he has described as having a predominantly black student
body. He said he got into many fights at the school because of his small size, so his mother
transferred him to Middle School 172 in Glen Oaks, which he described as a "white
school".[4]
Atkins earned his GED in February 2012.[5]
