John's mother was a drug addict, constantly in and out of the streets. John never had a relationship with his father, nor did he really know who his father was. John would describe his mother as a really nice woman who did her best to take care of him and his two brothers, but she would still prioritize drugs over her children.

At the age of 3, John and his two older brothers were sent to live with their aunt and uncle.

John described his childhood as being a very big, loving family. His aunt and uncle already had 3 kids before they took in John and his brothers, so there were a total of 6 boys. They all referred to each other as brothers, even though they were cousins.
