Lacy happens to be the son of a black African-American mother and a Filipino father. Unfortunately, his father was not a constant figure in his life and only made appearances on rare occasions. As a result, he was mainly raised by his mother. Sadly, when Lacy was just 10 years old, he lost his father who passed away.
Lacy’s educational journey began at Washington Preparatory High School before he moved on to attend a private school. Growing up, Lacy has stated that his childhood was sheltered, which was a conscious decision made by his mother in order to protect him and his sisters from the challenges that were present in their environment at the time in Compton.
