Originally from South Philadelphia, Payne's father is a former gang leader in the city and due to fear of his family getting tied up in problems from his street life the family moved to the Philadelphia suburbs. Despite the 30 min. move, Payne was brought up on the West side of Philly. Due to his father bringing domestic violence into their home, Payne and his family moved all around Pennsylvania and took up residence in cities including Downingtown, Coatesville, and Norristown,PA.[1] Since his mother is from Detroit when Payne and his family relocated they lived in Detroit,MI and River Rouge,MI.[8] After 2 years, the family finally settled in Toledo,OH.
