He is the only <a href="/biography/warren-g">son</a> of his father, an airplane mechanic, and his mother, Ola, a dietitian. His parents divorced when he was just four years old. Warren was raised alongside his three sisters—Mitzi, Traci, and Felicia. After the divorce, Warren’s mother remarried and he went to live with her new husband and stepfamily.
