His parents gave Carlos to his aunt and uncle, Consuelo and Pablo Mencia to raise as their own because they weren't able to have children of their own. His birth-parents' small house was so packed already because his mother had so many children. Carlos grew up in the Maravilla Projects of East L.A.
