Lil Woody, the pivotal witness in Young Thug's trial, shared his tumultuous life story in an exclusive interview on VladTV. The interview, held after the conclusion of Young Thug's trial, reveals Woody's challenging upbringing in Mechanicsville, Atlanta. Born as one of ten children, Woody faced adversity early on. His father died from cancer when he was just ten, a loss that was further complicated by a head injury that affected his speech and hearing during his childhood. Despite this, Woody managed to regain his abilities, although he has limited memories of his father.
Woody's life took another turn at 17 when he lost his mother, who he described as his steadfast anchor. This marked a shift in his life, pushing him into a turbulent adolescence marked by fights and school difficulties. He recalls being expelled on the first day back at school after her death due to a case of mistaken identity. Woody also candidly discussed the struggles his family faced with poverty and living in a house that, at times, operated like a trap house. His story offers a raw, unflinching look at overcoming personal tragedies and the impact of a challenging environment.
