Early life

[6] In January 2019, McGee announced that he was transferring to Narbonne High School in Harbor City, Los Angeles. [4] However, in May 2019, he transferred back to East High. [7] His quick transfers violated New York State Public High School Athletic Association rules, so he was ruled ineligible for the 2019 season. [8] East High's superintendent said ""Earlier this year, the McGee family moved Seven, previously an East scholar, to California’s Narbonne High School, one of the top football schools in the country. While he was there for a few short months and did not participate in any organized school athletics, Seven quickly learned that his school environment and living condition in California were unsafe. In May, the Los Angeles Unified School District opened an investigation into allegations of misconduct at Narbonne High, leading to the football coach, principal, assistant principal, and athletic director having to be reassigned from their duties." [8] In regards to the ruling, rapper Big Boi tweeted "Wack & Unfair as hell". [8] The 2020 season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
