Early life and education
Emmanuel was raised alongside his seven siblings in Mississippi, by their parents about whom nothing is known, as their children respect their privacy.

The family moved to Jonesboro, Georgia when Emmanuel was seven years old, and he continued his education there. He became interested in sports and rapping while attending Fayette County High School, and upon matriculating in 2008, Emmanuel chose not to pursue a college degree, but to focus on his career on the internet, as well as to find a ‘regular’ job to financially support himself and his family.

Love life and girlfriend. Is he gay?
Unlike his fellow YouTubers and actors, Emmanuel doesn’t like to talk about his private matters, and hasn’t shared any details concerning the women (or men) whom he has perhaps been with. This is why there are rumors circulating the internet, claiming that the social media star is gay, while some fans have even claimed to have seen him spending time with a man, who could perhaps be his boyfriend. No evidence has been provided to support any of these claims, nor has Emmanuel commented on this.
There are also those who claim that he has been in a long-term relationship with his girlfriend for more than five years now, but that he prefers to keep her away from the media’s attention, because of how his fame could affect the relationship; this hasn’t been confirmed either.
As of June 2021, Emmanuel appears to be single, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.

Emmanuel’s main hobby is travelling, and he has been all around the US to attend various events, as well as to visit his relatives. He has apparently also been to several European and South American countries, for both work and pleasure.
