Jamaican dancehall star Mr. Vegas opened up on VladTV about the trauma of getting his face slashed with a knife back in fifth grade—leaving a prominent facial scar that marked his childhood. Despite this early adversity, his passion for music blossomed when he ran away from a troubled home environment and found solace in Kingston’s sound system scene. Mr. Vegas also revealed a remarkable chapter in his career involving his breakthrough hit recorded with a broken jaw. Originally on the B-side of a record, the song unexpectedly gained massive traction, launching his career. Additionally, he recounted a brief but intense jail stint stemming from a violent fight, highlighting how music was his refuge even behind bars.
