Norman, with his two elder sisters, Joniece Benjamin and Margaret ‘Mae‘ Powell Smart, was raised by a single mother.
His father, Norman Powell Sr., and mother, Sharon Powell, separated when he was an infant, and his maternal uncle, Raymond Edwards, served as a fatherly figure.

No information about his father is available. However, his mother Sharon’s Facebook page displays that she worked at Uncle Sam and went to School of Hard Knocks.
