Who Is King Javien Conde?
King is Erica Mena’s first child. She was 19 when he was born, and she and Conde had an on-and-off relationship for a long time. Mena has said she never saw any option other than keeping her baby. She also credits King with shaping how hard she worked afterward, because she wanted him to always have what he needed. WFTVaol
She describes him as a very bright kid. In a 2023 interview with Carlos King, she recalled being called into school because he corrected his teacher. She also said he was set to graduate high school that year, at 16. That timeline comes from Mena herself and hasn’t been independently confirmed. aol
King has kept a low profile. Mena rarely shares photos of him. One of the few exceptions was a 2021 picture of him holding his little sister Safire’s hand. aol
That privacy is why so much of what circulates about him online is thin. His current plans, whether he’s in college, and where he lives haven’t been publicly confirmed.
