His teenage years also saw him struggling with his coming out to himself as being gay he prayed that it was just a phase, but around 16 or 17 he came to accept it. Although initially reluctant to leave, he later regarded it as an important decision, "There's so much shit going on in Atlanta-if I would have stayed there, I would have fallen in with the wrong crowd." He started "using the Internet heavily right around the time when memes started to become their own form of entertainment" about when he was 13. Three years later, he moved in with his father, a gospel singer, north of the city in Austell, Georgia.
His parents divorced when he was six, and he settled in the Bankhead Courts housing project with his mother and grandmother. He was named after the Mitsubishi Montero. Montero Lamar Hill was born in Lithia Springs, Georgia, a small city outside Atlanta, on April 9, 1999.
