He shared this while speaking about some childhood memories during a recent interview with Complex. He had wanted to have superpowers, especially that of flying. He had decided to teach himself to fly since there was no one to teach him.

He said "I really wanted to be a superhero real bad and I felt like someone was supposed to teach me how to be a superhero and nobody was taking me seriously. I was infatuated with the superhero stuff and I would draw it. So I made up my own superhero in my own image with a cape and everything, so I'd dress up like him. And then one day, it was time to fly."

He continued saying "I climbed to the top, and I closed my eyes and I felt like there was no way I wouldn't be able to fly. I've seen this a million times and they are flying so why won't I fly, but I didn't fly. I landed on the hard cold floor."

He revealed how passed his mother had been at him him she came home and saw he had broken his tooth.
