Life

Higgins' parents divorced early, which resulted in his having to separate from his father at a young age. His mother raised him, his older brother and younger sister all alone. Since his mother was a very conservative Christian woman, she forbade him to listen to rap when he was a child. Thanks to his cousin, he was still able to follow the hip-hop scene and in his youth mostly listened to artists such as Gucci Mane , Birdman , Lil Wayne and Billy Idol . He learned to play various instruments, including piano , guitar and drums . By the start of sophomore high school, he began rapping and thinking about a career.

The police had recently received a notice that weapons and drugs were being transported on the plane. After his collapse, local officials administered the antidote Narcan , which is used for opiate overdoses.
