Roger grew up less fortunate and had to wear the same clothes to school at times.

Anything that he wears now is from his brand, RS Collection. Roger had the opportunity to attend an adult prom hosted by A list celebrity & entertainer Tiffany Haddish where he represented his brand in a custom Burberry inspired suit.
