Lloyd was born in South Jamaica, Queens to a Puerto Rican mother and African American father. His father spent most of Lloyd's childhood in prison, leaving his mother to raise him and his two siblings, Anthony and Damion. Lloyd attended August Martin High School but dropped out at age 16. For his stage name, he took his great, great grandfather's name, "Banks", which was passed on by his uncles who also shared it.
