Jason Jamal Jackson, aka O3 Greedo, was born in July 1987 and is a well-known rapper, singer, and songwriter. Born and brought up in Los Angeles, he rose to fame in 2016, after he released his mixtape series Purple Summer.

He is also known for his other studio albums like God Level, Still Summer in the Projects, Halfway There, 03 Inna Key, and many more.

Throughout his music career, Jackson has also worked with other artists, rappers, and singers like Lil Uzi Vert, Blink-182, Travis Barker, and even Key Glock.

Talking about his personal life, he is known for his “Living Legend” tattoo, which is prominent on his face. He also has two siblings, a brother and a sister, and Greedo is the youngest among the three.

The rapper welcomed his first daughter as soon as he turned 18, but had a troubled relationship at home with his parents, as he had got into the habit of selling drugs to support the daughter and the baby mama.

Things became tough for the artist in 2018 when he was arrested and charged with drug tr*fficking and possession of a firearm.

He was sentenced to 20 years in prison as authorities claimed that he was carrying four pounds of drugs and two stolen pistols in the trunk of his car. However, he took a plea deal and was released within five years on the basis of good behavior.

During this time in prison, he was still instrumental in creating music, and often released new songs when he came out on parole. He was ultimately released on January 12, 2023.

While the life of the rapper was full of ups and downs, the news about him passing away is not true as the artist is indeed alive and well in 2023.
