Cedriss was born on June 7, 1995. Upon his birth, Cedriss was called C.O.P. (Child of Promise) by family members and friends of his parents. They called him that because he was considered a miracle baby. His parents were unable to conceive a child for fourteen years into their marriage and had given up hope of ever having children. Then one night, his aunt dreamed about his mother having a baby. Just a few weeks later, Cedriss was conceived. Little did anyone know that the nickname "C.O.P" would take on an entirely different meaning later on in his life.
