The 21-year-old’s legal problems started at the age of eight when he was arrested for possession of cannabis. He was charged with conspiracy to commit violent disorder and placed under the Criminal Behaviour Order in 2018, which means he cannot release new music without consulting the authorities.

He was sentenced to a year and was reportedly arrested after he breached the Criminal Behaviour Order. He was also attacked in prison back in 2019 as a result of which he struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder.
