Chopper, from Diddy's Making the Band, Tells His Life Story

Da Band's Chopper joined VladTV for an in-depth discussion about his career. The New Orleans native described his troubled upbringing, which saw his father serve a life sentence and his mother leave him in the care of his grandmother while she lived in another state. After the passing of Chopper's grandmother, the Making The Band cast member was left to fend for himself as a teen. He broke down his entry into rap and his experience on Making The Band, which led to a deal with Diddy and Bad Boy Records. Throughout the interview, Chopper offered his thoughts on the creation and eventual split of Da Band, troublesome incidents after splitting from Bad Boy, and Diddy's case after facing similar legal issues.
