Ant was only 13 years old when he lost his mother Yvette and grandmother Shirley to cancer. Both of them were taken away from his life within eight months. After that, the family started to fall apart.
But fortunately, Ant had three older siblings who took up the responsibility of raising him. The Wolves star was raised by his brothers Antony and Antoine, and sister Antoinette. Since they’re his entire family, Ant shares a special bond with his siblings.
bdifferent recently showcased his talent during the halftime show of a Nuggets vs Wolves Western Conference Semifinals game at Target Center. The rapper stepped onto the hardwood wearing his brother’s jersey and performed in front of a sold-out crowd.
He performed his song ‘In Dat Mode’ as his younger brother joined the crowd to cheer for him. bdifferent later posted pictures of his performance on Instagram, predicting the outcome of the series, “Wolves in 7.”

The 22-year-old is the biggest fan of his brother. This can be better understood by the fact that during a GQ interview, he ranked bdifferent alongside widely acclaimed rappers like Lil Baby and Future. Even though his pre-game go to music is Nicki Minaj, giving such major props to his brother on a platform like GQ shows just how much Edwards values him.
