Full Episode
I got arrested 61 times. I've been in movies. I've done reality TV. I knew how to commit crimes so well. I was not going to stop. So born and raised in Miami, Florida, specifically a city called Hialeah. Raised by a single mom. My life of crime started at a really early age. I left the house at eight. I was on the streets at nine. I was already trying to figure shit out.
I had my first pistol at 11, which I had tattered on me, a fucking Desert Eagle. Mind you, I couldn't even carry that shit at that time.
yeah so i uh i learned and uh oh why why why were you out at eight that's exactly that's exactly the question is why you're so you don't you never know um but i mean i guess the neighborhood i was in it wasn't a bad neighborhood but we were exposed to a lot of you know criming i started selling drugs at nine Right. So, yeah, if you're familiar with Hialeah. I mean, I'm not, apparently. Yeah.
So it's a very heavy Latin-oriented neighborhood. Started selling drugs at nine. Started doing it at 11. Started fucking, you know, toting guns and hanging out with the gangsters at 13. I mean, was your dad there? No, my dad left the house at eight. Your mom just can't control you. Right. Okay. My mom is Brazilian, so she came here with her sister very early age. She took the right path.
She didn't have much life experience, which is why she couldn't handle the heat that came with raising a son on her own. And I just fucking took off, man. You know, 15, heavy in the streets, already catching gun charges, all sorts of shit. So my life of crime started at about the age of nine. Ended at 25 when I finally caught my fair case. But in between there, I got arrested 61 times.
for all sorts of shit. Is this just drugs or drugs got like... Drug dealing, aggravated assault on leos, fucking all sorts of shit. You know, a bunch of fights. So I was the leader of a gang. Fucking organized crime. So imagine the shit that I was into at that time. Is this a specific gang? You don't want to mention the name of the gang? Yeah, it was a gang.
It's a very notorious Latin crime organization in Miami who ran Hialeah, which I'm sure she knows who Hialeah is. She knows exactly what I'm talking about. And, yeah, man, it was fucking crazy. It was a lot of drug dealing, extortion, fucking, I mean, everything. You can name it. Anything that you see in the movies, I did. I was part of. So how does that work?
I mean, what are some of these, like, arrests? So first time I was arrested was at the age of 13. I was at a quince's party. I'm not sure what that is. Again, it's a Latin thing where they celebrate the whole 15s of when women have their 15s party. Right. And I actually got arrested for stealing fucking Vaseline. Not Vaseline. Visine to put in my eyes because my eyes were fucking red.
We're all high and we're, you know. You got arrested for having it? I got arrested for stealing it. Oh, okay. At the little locals at the beach, went across the street at the mart. And my dad literally bought me out. I used to get my dad for the bullshit. Like my dad was present. He just wasn't, he didn't know how to fucking. It wasn't like a father. He didn't know how to handle me as well.
