His Youth

Leslie, in one of his videos, talked about how his father took him to a football game for the first time as a young child. Leslie's father explained the game to him when Jordan asked when the majorettes would come out. Leslie used to practice baton twirling in his front yard, and his father would ask him to take his routine inside the house. Leslie mentioned how his father loved him but just did not know what to make of him. He recently gave his impressions on "Rain On Me," a song by Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga in 2020. We could see him bopping his head in a video.
