What Is Ali Siddiq’s Net Worth?
Early Life
Ali Siddiq was born on October 17, 1972, in Houston, Texas. He attended Jane Long Middle School and Paul Revere Middle School, and after his parents split up, Ali and his siblings were raised by their single mother and lived in the projects for a time. The Siddiq children later lived with other relatives. When Ali was 10 years old, he was nearly run over, and his mother and aunt got into a fight with the car’s driver because she wouldn’t apologize. Siddiq started selling drugs at the age of 14, and when he was 19, he was arrested for cocaine trafficking. After being convicted of “delivery of a controlled substance,” he was sentenced to 15 years in prison but was released after six years. During an interview with “Comedy Scene in Houston,” Ali stated, “In prison, I worked as an SSI—basically a janitor, in the section where people are locked up all day—never get out except for ONE hour—if that. I would watch ‘Martin’—and I would perform EVERY character in ‘Martin’ for the people in there. And after ‘Martin’ ended, I started doin’ stand up, and started talkin’ about all the things that were goin’ on in prison. If you can perform for people who have NOTHING to laugh about—and you can make ’em laugh, performin’ out here’s a cake walk.” After his release from prison in October 1997, Siddiq took jobs at a sunglasses shop and a department store.
