Personal life.
Maddix's father is Jamaican and his mother's father is Greek, although for many years he had believed him to be Italian. In an episode of "Big Zuu's Big Eats" recorded 12 December 2019, he said "My dad is Jamaican, my mum didn't know her pops and she always told me he was Italian, for some reason. I don't know, she said he's Italian, that's all she'll say, 'Ah, he's Italian.' And I remember, I was talking to mum one day and she goes, 'Ah no, he was Greek.' So, now I'm a quarter Greek, but I never knew I was a quarter Greek until now and, you know, all right."
Jamali was born and currently lives in Ilford, Essex.
