Diop Jr said in an interview with "Los40 España", the most popular radio in Spain and Latin America, that his goal is to continue to claim a healthy lifestyle through rap and that is what distinguishes him from other rappers.
Diop Jr was raised in Dakar and has always been among the best students in his school and before leaving Senegal to live with his parents in Spain, he was received along with other students by the President of Senegal, Abdoulaye Wade. He spent much of his childhood in Senegal and at the age of 13, he moved to Seville. Diop Jr speaks Spanish, French, English, Wolof and can read and write in Arabic.
Diop Jr is a young football fan from an early age, having tried on a Spanish third division team called "CD Alcalá" at the age of only 16, he stopped playing football after having an accident, but he plans to play again in the future.
As for his date of birth, Diop Jr declares that several media have postponed incorrect dates, however, according to "El País", the newspaper with the largest circulation in Spain, Diop Jr was born on December 15, 1996.
On the other hand, after having launched in 2015 the song "Sahel" that he dedicated to children of scarce resources in Africa, and in 2016 the song "Unidos Against Racism" that fights against racism; Diop Jr has recently released a new video called "Sé Un Buen Ciudadano" (Be A Good Citizen), which is a song that aims to educate citizens about the need to promote civic behavior.
