We can confidently confirm this report for now, and there are no reports from reputable sources at this time. We’ve however reached out to the Broward police department and the hospital for comments on this claims.

The 30-year-old whose real name is Cornelius Johnson is rapper and punk rocker known for his eccentric style and controversial antics. He grew up in the ‘Tater Town’ neighborhood and faced a challenging upbringing with an immigrant father from the Bahamas and an African-American mother.

Cornelius was influenced by notable acts including Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, and Steven Tyler through his grandparents. He took interest in skateboarding and music at age 12.

The Florida native first made headlines with his 2017 music video “Married to the Game,” where he wore a wedding dress, sparking comparisons to Young Thug and debates about androgyny in hip-hop.

Jerkboy later clarified this was a clout-chasing stunt and emphasized his heterosexuality. However, he claimed ownership of the “fingernail polish” trend calling out artists like Famous Dex for copying his style.
