In a 2023 interview with the Detroit Metro Times, the rapper revealed that his stage name was inspired by his basketball nickname from back when he was in school, 'Skillz'.

The former basketball player, who has also served a few months behind bars for assault back in 2022, was shot later that year in July. Thankfully, the bullet didn't do much damage, but the rapper's stocks skyrocketed. He explained in his interview with the Detroit Metro Times:
"I get shot, a whole bunch of stuff happened in the streets, and boom, people started listening to my music out of nowhere. I’m at home eating Doritos, listening to people going crazy on the internet. They thought I was 50 Cent because I got shot one day and the next day I was in the club partying."
