Early life, family and education
Nadji was raised in Atlanta by his parents, who prefer to be left out of media, thus not a lot about them is known. He hasn’t mentioned having any siblings, so his fans believe him to be an only child.

Many of Nadji’s fans believe him to be gay, mostly because he hasn’t been seen spending time with any girl who could perhaps be his girlfriend, while he’s been seen with men on various occasions.
