In English language interviews, Tammemets has mentioned his mixed immigrant "Ukrainian-Kazakh-Russian-Estonian" ancestry.

Tammemets is a native Russian-speaker and he also speaks fluent Estonian and English. In one of his early interviews, he said that "not many even know I can speak Russian", that his parents talked to each other in Russian at home, and that he is coming from the Kopli ghetto.
Tammemets has recounted running away from the police many times when he was a child and (as a result) his parents then having to pay a fine for painting illegal graffiti. He has said that his marijuana use led him to be "ejected" from schooling. Although his family spoke only Russian at home, he also learned the Estonian language early on in the local kindergarten and primary school. He never graduated from secondary school, despite sitting final exams, and later took up painting and dancing instead of formal education.

Daniel Rogers of Dazed opined: "Now, if we're talking COVID restrictions, these sneakers have surely got every social distancing regulation covered. Unfortunately though, us peasants will have to continue to rub up against each other as this gargantuan pair is a one-off, made solely for Cash". Although the extra-long Superstars are a bespoke piece, the rapper's collaboration with Adidas also spawned a more wearable pair of mismatched trainers – one black, one white and both normally sized. A limited number of this pared-back version, which features Tommy's signature laser-engraved on the heel and a yin and yang print on the insole, was made available to the public via a raffle.
