Early life and background

Loverboyakin, born Akinyemi Akinro, hails from Lagos, Nigeria. He grew up connected to both Nigerian and Canadian cultures and later relocated to Canada, establishing a base in Toronto. His formal education was in engineering: he completed a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa, graduating in 2015.

Career

After finishing his degree, Loverboyakin moved into the fashion and modelling world.
