Derron was adopted by Deon and Karen long before they started having their own biological children. However, Derron appears to have a strained relationship with his adoptive parents. In 2014, Derron accused Deon of taking out a student loan and credit cards in Derron's name without his knowledge when Derron was still in high school.

Derron also said he had been estranged from his father Deon for a year at the time of those 2014 allegations. Deon responded by saying he felt like he "helped raise the devil" when it came to Derron.

The Derricos have not publicly addressed Derron's absence from Doubling Down with the Derricos.
