On Bia's 19th birthday, while attending the University of Southern California, he visited a Los Angeles nightclub for the first time. Rapper Fetty Wap was also there, and he invited Bia and his friends to party with them. Following the party, a promoter asked for Bia's number, assuming he was a member of Fetty Wap's entourage.
