That, according to the Atlanta-based rapper fueled his urge to prove him wrong.<\/p>\n \u201cMy biggest inspiration to do music was my brother. The reason why I would say he is my biggest inspiration is that he did not want me to rap.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was something I always loved, and my brother was like \u2018why do you want to rap? There are so many other things that you can do.\u2019 I was good in school and very good with basketball as well,\u201d he said on Daybreak Hitz.<\/p>\n The Been Through <\/em>rapper also stated that his parents rather supported his decision to pursue music, therefore, they always supported him and gave him room to be himself<\/p>\n \u201cMy parents were all for it.
