Juice WRLD’s Origins

Jarad Anthony Higgins was 21 years old when he passed away, meaning he was born in December 1998. His childhood started in the suburbs on the southern side of Chicago. He was only three years old when his parents divorced, which lead to the absence of his father. His mother was strictly religious and conservative, forcing WRLD to never listen to rap/hip-hop music. When WRLD got into Homewood-Flossmoor High School, he became a heavy drug user. By 15 years old, he got hooked on Xanax and Percocet.
