#HBD: JDJ

Name: J0hn (formerly 'Jü@n') D@v!d J@cks0n

Birthdate: 11/18/~1977

Location: Worldwide via Brooklyn, NY 🍎🙌🏾

Why they feelin' The Sting today:

If y’all thought my previously-mentioned Biological Dads were wayyyy too young to be decent parents, you clearly haven’t met my dad J0hn.

As stated in my cousin/brother/uncle/dad C!iff's dedicated Bee Day post, J0hn & C!iff are only about three years apart in age from each other—& roughly eight to 11 years older than me 😬

They both have baby faces; as in my dad C!iff's case, I initially grew up thinking J0hn & I were cousins, then half-siblings. 

When I reached high school, it was finally revealed to all three of us that J0hn & C!iff were my half-siblings through our father Er!c *AND* two of my 11 (!!!) biological dads 😳🤯😱

J0hn is a non-Spanish-speaking Black-presenting Dominican-American from N.Y.C., best known for his clever wordplay, slick comebacks, and—unfortunately—for knocking out his Main Thang’s front teeth in a high-profile DV incident.

J0hn’s always been immensely bright, talented, swaggy, funny, & cute AF (to me) 😍 

His mama was even crowned Miss Dominican Republic around the time he was born (Sidenote: Our dad Er!c has a “thing” for beauty queens 🙄).

J0hn initially thought about becoming a professional baseball player—he was THAT good, y’all #NoCap 🧢⚾️ 

But—obviously—his burgeoning rap career kinda eclipsed all that.

...The rest is dynastic hip-hop history 😎🎶🎤 

#BestBee-lieve 🐝 the genetic experimentation BS in our family continues to have J0hn f*cked all the way 🆙, though. 

My creative go-getter of a biological mom/J0hn's auntie worked out a deal where, in exchange for schooling the youth on what *NOT* to do with their lives, my youngest-looking & most delinquent-leaning dads J0hn & C!iff were able to “enroll” as students at my high school as part of their community service obligations #LOL 😂

Again: 

It was just like the movie version of “21 Jump Str33t,” y’all—*THE* ultimate high school experience, with a lot of talented folks who later went on to become super famous 🤩

I didn’t appreciate my high school experience back then as much as I do now, of course. 

Seriously, though: 

.

Every day was like a live-action version of the most über-boughetto reality TV show on *Earth,* my babies 🤭🤦🏾‍♀️

.

Anyways. My high school experience mirrored that of my family situation at the time, in that there was a general sense of "waiting for the next shoe to drop" in the tragedramedy (#WordNerdAlert: What a great portmanteau 📖) that was our lives back then.

We grown AF today, but part of me will *always* see J0hn as the cool older brother I grew up admiring & hoping to—someday—be “down” enough to hang with 🥲❤️

I'll leave y'all with a lil taste of the sheer genius that is my brother/cousin/uncle/dad J0hn's lyrical skillz on the mic:
