At the age of six, Lamar moved to Miami, Florida, with his mother, brother Leon Jr., and Cousin Carrie. He was baptized at an early age at Greater Israel Baptist Church in Miami, where his faith journey began. Later, after relocating to Atlanta, Georgia, he became a dedicated member of Victory Church in Norcross, where he faithfully attended services for many years.

After high school, he continued his education at Georgia Perimeter College in Atlanta and studied AC Refrigeration at Gwinnett Technical College. He began working at an early age, holding his first job at Burger King while still in high school. After graduating, he moved to Atlanta to live with his Aunt Laura, who helped him start his own lawn service business, which he operated for a couple of years. He later opened a small restaurant, showing his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to hard work.
