Early Life

His mother had multiple children with four or five different men, so she has a large number of mouths to feed. Around the year 2000, one of his older brothers was shot and killed outside of their house as a result of a quarrel over gambling, and Thug witnessed the entire event.

While the other brother was convicted of murder and sentenced to prison. Because he wasn’t interested in learning, he started getting involved in a variety of illegal activities, such as drug use and gambling.
