Giannis was born in Athens, Greece, on December 6, 1994. His parents moved there from Nigeria illegally, so he wasn' t allowed to become a Greek citizen. Since he was born overseas, Giannis wasn' t able to get Nigerian citizenship, either. For the first 18 years of his life, he wasn' t an official citizen of any country. Life in Greece was very difficult for his family. His parents had trouble finding work, so Giannis and his brother tried to help by selling watches and sunglasses.

扬尼斯于 1994 年十二月六日出生于希腊雅典。他的父母是从奈及利亚非法移民到希腊,所以他无法成为希腊公民。由于他是在海外出生,他也无法拿到奈及利亚国籍。在他人生中前十八年的日子里,他都不属于任何国家的正式公民。在希腊的生活对他的家庭而言是很艰困的。他的父母当时很难找到工作,所以扬尼斯和他的兄弟试著卖手表及太阳眼镜来帮忙。
