Pimp C Facts

He spent his childhood years growing up in Port Arthur, Texas.

Pimp C was born prematurely and suffered numerous health issues including a birth defect that caused his legs to point inward. It required braces to fix.

During his childhood years, he suffered from pneumonia at least 9 times.

Pimp C had joined the choir as a teenager and played numerous instruments at school.

His stepfather encouraged him in his musical pursuits and he began writing and creating his own music.

He received a drum machine and keyboard one Christmas and started synthesizing beats to rap over.

Pimp C was friends with rapper and actor Bernard “Bun B” Freeman.

He was arrested in Houston’s Sharpstown Mall on December 16, 2000, after allegedly holding a woman named Lakita Hulett at gunpoint and threatening to shoot her after a confrontation in a shoe store.

A$AP Rocky has credited Pimp C as one of his major influences.

His death was attributed to the effects of Butler’s heavy usage of “purple drank”, a combination of codeine and promethazine, in conjunction with his pre-existing condition of sleep apnea.
