Early life
Cadougan was born in Toronto, Ontario and raised in the city's Jane and Finch neighbourhood.[3][4] The son of Carlisle Ford and Suzette Cadougan, he was raised by a single mother who was born in Trinidad and raised in St. Vincent, where his father is from.[5][6] He grew up in a family of basketball players; his mother grew up playing netball, his older brother Kerlon played as a combo guard for Humber College, and his younger brother Shaquan also plays the sport.[3][7]
On August 3, 2005, a drive-by shooting occurred at the family's housing complex during an outdoor party. A gunman sprayed the home with several bullets, four of which hit Cadougan's then four-year-old brother Shaquan, critically injuring him. Four other people were injured in the shooting, including Cadougan, who was grazed in the shoulder.[3][4][7]
