    Violent J Facts

  • He is the youngest of 3 siblings and he was 2 years old when his father stole all of the family’s money and left. Consequently, Violent J and his siblings were raised by their mother.
  • Violent J was 7 years old when he and his brother caught a butterfly and became fascinated by the vibrant colors and overall peacefulness of the creature. They decided to keep the butterfly in a jar overnight and intended to free it the following morning but when they saw that the butterfly had died the next morning, the kids felt as if they had committed a murder. So, they made a vow that “one day, [they] will make it to heaven, so that [they] can […] apologize to that Butterfly face-to-face.” Inspired by the incident, every Insane Clown Posse album and EP reads “Dedicated to the Butterfly.”
  • Between 1989 and 1990, he was jailed for 90 days for death threats, robbery, and violating probation.
  • Some of his musical influences include Esham, N.W.A, Ice Cube, Awesome Dre, Geto Boys, Gong, Pearl Jam, and Michael Jackson.
  • It was announced in 2021 that he was suffering from heart failure and he subsequently announced ICP‘s farewell world tour taking place the following year.
