Early Years
Otis Williams Jr., professionally known as OJ da Juiceman, was born on November 23, 1981, in East Atlanta, Georgia. His father is not the singer Otis Williams. Although his parents were separated and he was raised by his mother, his father remained a part of his life.
As a young man, OJ became friends with Radric Davis – professionally known as Gucci Mane – an American rapper who would later become known for popularizing a form of Southern hip-hop known as "trap music." The two men lived in the same apartment building and began collaborating on mixtapes. OJ has stated that music had him in its grip "straight out of the womb."

Gunshots & Diabetes
In 2008, OJ da Juiceman was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes – most likely a genetic condition as both of his parents also live with Diabetes. Shortly after this diagnosis, OJ was caught in what he described as a "robbery gone bad," and he attempted to dodge bullets that were whizzing past him when he suddenly felt one stroke his leg. In all, OJ was hit by eight bullets, including one which entered one side of his scrotum and exited out the other side and one which lodged in the back of his thigh. Doctors were unable to remove the bullet from his thigh and explained to him that it would work itself out. It later fell out of his leg while he was performing on stage. Due to injuries received during the shooting, OJ now walks with a permanent limp. By 2009, OJ's Diabetes had become Type 1.
Arrests
In 2022, OJ da Juiceman was arrested and charged with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was held at Hardin County Detention Center in Kentucky.
At about 10:00 on the evening of March 4, 2024, OJ led police in Coweta County, Georgia, on a high-speed chase when they attempted to pull him over for speeding in his 2024 Ford Expedition. After police had successfully contained him, a search of the vehicle resulted in the discovery of drugs and a 9-millimeter handgun. OJ was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine, drug trafficking, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
OJ admits to drinking Lean – also known as Purple Drank – which is a mixture of prescription-grade Codeine cough syrup and soda used as a recreational drug. Popular in hip-hop culture, the dangerous mixture is addictive and can be fatal in an overdose.
Gold Teeth
When he was 16 years old, OJ da Juiceman had two of his natural teeth shaved down and had two 22-carat gold teeth – with the letters "O" and "J" on them – affixed over the stubs. Before long, he underwent the shaving down of six more natural teeth to display four gold teeth on the top and four on the bottom. Although the gold teeth were supposed to be permanent, OJ had them removed in 2021 – along with all of his natural teeth – and replaced with $100,000 worth of Clear Choice dental implants held in place by titanium rods.
Personal Life
OJ da Juiceman has two daughters and claims that his biggest fear is being at the beach and seeing a shark. OJ has spent time in a juvenile detention center, on probation, and a work release program and has said that his lifestyle and choices were a result of growing up poor.
