 Samba lives in Kinshasa and Paris.Originally, Samba's name was David Samba, but in his country there was a banning of keeping/giving people a Christian first name, so he decided to change it to Samba wa Mbimba N’zingo Nuni Masi Ndo Mbasi.Later on, Samba adopted the name Cherí Samba, which he originally wanted to change to Dessinateur Samba, but didn't because of his relationship with the public.
