At school, he met Barack Adama, a future member of Sexion d'Assaut and they became friends. He spent many sleepless nights at his parents' house with his friends to write and rap. He admits that he was involved in petty thefts in his youth, and at high school, he smoked and sold cannabis. After encountering a near death situation in a feud, he consecrated himself to writing lyrics and rapping. He was known among his friends with various nicknames like le "Blanc", "La Tâche".
