When asked who he was before he became the rapper known as Bizzy Bone, Ohio lyricist Bizzy Bone briefly recalled the “tragic” occurrences he went through as a youth, during an interview with Blurred Culture. The Bone thugs-n-harmony rapper revealed that he stayed with a variety of family members and was later kidnapped for a span of two years.
With help from John Walsh of “America’s Most Wanted” and others, he was eventually found, and later moved in with his sisters in Cleveland, Ohio. He says it was during his time in Cleveland that he linked up with fellow Bone thugs-n-harmony rapper Layzie Bone.
“Before I was Bizzy Bone I was always—As a kid I was stuck with monumental things that happened in my life,” Bizzy Bone said. “Kinda tragic. Music was always an escape…I had a two, three year stint with my mom. I was kidnapped after that for two years. John Walsh helped lead the charge in finding me. A few psychics and so on and so forth. And then after that I was in foster homes running around…I get down there [Cleveland, Ohio]. I was selling dope. Was actually selling dope in the dopehouse and I met Layzie Bone. And from that day on—First, I became Wishbone and we went through our Bone thugs story. Look out for the movie. We went through our thing. And from about 14, 15-years-old up until this very day we’ve been friends, comrades, business associates. But that’s who I was before Bone thugs-n-harmony.”
Later in the interview, Bizzy was asked to name his top three rappers of all time. He revealed the names of the three rappers he believes are the greatest and gave a brief description as to why he chose each artist.
“You gotta go with your legends,” he said. “I go with Biggie because of the East Coast and he exemplified what being East Coast was to me. Of course, Rakim laid the pavement. But he was good with getting the money and making sure people knew it was about paper. Of course, Pac. Worldwide, prophetic, meant to be, a covenant with the Earth, a covenant with his story. And of course, Eazy-E. Original hood brother to go in the hood and put his hood money into rap. And also put my best friends in a position to feed their children and their children’s children for the rest of their life. So, those are my favorite rappers.”
damn kidnapped and found by walsh..should make a few tracks about it shits crazy
2 years!? o mmaannn wow thats insane. So glad he made it out alive but what the fuck went down??
Yeah, dude molested him and I think his little sister was with him too. it was a little girl I know that. Listen to that track from his first solo album back in the day, Nobody Can Stop Me.” He spoke on it briefly. Probably why dude’s always been battling the bottle his whole life to live with some messed up shit like that.
His stepfather kidnapped him and went on the run with him and his lil brother and sister. He used to take him to this old man who would have a teenage boy bathe him and then prepare him for the older man. He got very in depth in regards to what happened a while ago. Always been my favorite Bone Thug and in my personal Top 5. Shout out to the big homie B.B. Gambini #7thSign

bizzy bone names his 3 favorite rappers…
he named 4 HHDX
I hear he got diddled by the kidnapper
If he did, that doesn’t make him any less of a real nigga. Shit happens when you’re a child. For anyone that’s grown up as a child in a struggle, you know you just try to endure it when you have no control.
There was an interview that Layzie did with Cam from years ago. He said he met Bizzy when Bizzy’s father was going out with his mother. So the whole meeting Layzie in a dope house story is a bit of bullshit.
