The Untold Truth Of MO3

In an Instagram post from July 2020, MO3 (aka Melvin Noble) shared some personal details about his life, explaining that he dropped out of school in the ninth grade, spent time in and out of jail, and experienced homelessness. He "had it hard finding [his] purpose in life," the rapper wrote in the caption. He recalled a pivotal moment in his life when he was waiting at a bus stop to take him to a studio, begging God to give him an opportunity to change his circumstances. "HE GAVE ME A SECOND CHANCE," MO3 concluded.

In 2020, MO3 teamed up with mentor Boosie Badazz to release a collaborative mixtape, Badazz MO3, which became his first project to enter the Billboard 200. MO3 told Flaunt that he first crossed paths with Boosie in 2017, when his idol gave him the chance to open a concert for him. "He put me on his show that night. After that, he flew me to his house. We made 2 songs for my album," MO3 said. "It's been love ever since."

In the same interview, MO3 acknowledged that as a rapper in Dallas, he had a target on his back. However, he said he did not travel with security. "Security or no security, you're always targeted," he said. "Your level of success makes you a target." The rapper said he preferred to focus on making music, explaining, "I'm giving a message, I'm giving hope."
