At one point, a contestant approaches Nardo and asks if he drinks alcohol.
“Nah, no, not really, it depends,” Nardo explained. “Like, on occasion with my momma and s--t. Like if she gives me a shot, I’ll throw that. But no, I don’t drink for real.” The woman then asked the rapper if he did drugs. To which he responded, “No.”
Nardo previously revealed the reason he does not drink or smoke, explaining that he wants a different life after growing up around drugs and street violence.
“I don’t even smoke or drink. I ain’t never smoke or drink,” he told Say Cheese. “Can’t nobody talk me into doing nothing. I done stopped n----s from doing dumb s--t.”
He went on to explain that he often encourages those around him to avoid indulging in activities that can be harmful.

The rapper grew up in Jackson, Fla., surrounded by drugs, violence, and poverty.
“I been around this s--t my whole life since I can remember,” Nardo said, during an appearance on DJ Akademiks’ Off the Record. “I’m four or five and my uncle's cooking crack. My mom was really street and my daddy was serving.”
