As a child, Mustapha enjoyed playing games such as Dominoes, Scrabble, chess, and Spades. He loved music and enjoyed hanging out with his friends. He was raised in Ohio, where he grew up with his cousins, whom he was very close with. 

As an adolescent, Mustapha played basketball, enjoyed hanging out, eating food and embraced life to the fullest. To know him was to know that he was a gentle giant. However, Don’t get it wrong he was opinionated and never wrong. He spoke his mind and expected honesty of others. He was also a momma’s boy who tried very hard to keep her pleased. 

His proudest accomplishments came when he was blessed with the birth of his daughter, Kamariah Shahada Torain. He gained an additional source of pride and joy with the addition of his grandchildren, Demaryius, Desirée, and DeiZón.
