Austin shared in an interview with Daily Mail that, “Most people don’t know that Zoe Saldana played the role of Kim in Drumline as Nick Cannon played my character.”

Both Austin and Porter grew up together in Columbus, Georgia and their parents were pregnant with them at the same time.

“My mom and Kim’s mom was pregnant with us at the same time in Columbus,” Austin reveals. “I have never known a life without Kim Porter from kindergarten through all of our life long experiences in high school, having matching BMWs or her being the biggest believer in me making it as a producer and us getting out of Columbus to be somebody and we made it!!”

The two went to their high school prom together:
