Shaggy’s older brother John Utsler, known by his stage name John Kickjazz was found dead in a group home in Michigan on November 20, 2015.

Utsler was a lawbreaker during his teen years.

During his teenage, Shaggy suffered from depression and anxiety.

He was a drunkard and a drug addict and spent most of his time in several drug rehabilitation centers.

In September 2009, Dope started to cut off from the drug pills and began to mend his drinking habits. By 2011, he became a complete sober.

On September 1, 2009, in the American talk radio show The Howard Stern Show, he told that he stopped consuming alcohol and drugs because he was about to suffer from the cirrhosis of the liver.

Dope designed Hatchetman, the logo of his record label Psychopathic Records and has drawn numerous album covers for Insane Clown Posse.

His older son, Cyrus, became a member of the armed forces in Fort Riley, Kansas, after completing his higher education in 2014.

Shaggy had a near death experience because of low blood sugar and the flu while performing in a concert.

He began his music career as Kangol Joe in 1989, teaming up with Joseph Bruce, as Jagged Joe, and John Utsler, as Master J, naming the trio JJ Boys and released the first single titled Party at the Top of the Hill. They changed their band name to Inner City Posse and performed under the stage names Violent J, 2 Dope, and John Kickjazz at the nightclubs.

In 1991, after releasing numerous songs and albums, the trio selected Alex Abbiss as their manager. Alex was the owner of a record store.

In late 1991, the group Inner City Posse changed their name to Insane Clown Posse.

In 1992, John Utsler left the group, and both the other members, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J started performing under their changed names as “wicked clowns”. Their songs are inspired by the hardcore hip hop known as horrorcore. The duo achieved 2 ‘platinum’ and 5 ‘gold’ albums, and by April 2007, more than 7 million copies of the records were sold in both United States and Canada.
