Domingo told Icon Mann that he owes his success to his family and hometown. "I was the nerdy kid. My community invested in me. My dad finished floors and told me he never wanted me to work with my hands," he recalled. "They took care of me ... everything about me has been supported by these brothers in West Philly. My brother, who is a garbage man, would tease me, but he made me who I am."
