Jadakiss was born Jason Phillips on May 27, 1975, in Yonkers, New York, United States. He is an American citizen and a professional rapper, widely known for his contributions to the hip hop genre. He began his music career at the age of 16, despite having minimal formal education in the field. His longstanding presence in the industry dates back to 1993. He is occasionally referred to by the nickname "Jack the Rapper," though it is more commonly associated with a famous music conference from the 1990s rather than his personal alias.
Jadakiss entered the music scene by participating in freestyle rap competitions with a group of friends. Their talent led them to the attention of Ruff Ryders Entertainment, a management company known for cultivating hip hop talent. Early on, Jadakiss and his group performed under the name The Warlocks.
After signing with Bad Boy Entertainment, they rebranded themselves as The LOX—an acronym for "Living Off Experience." This change marked a significant turning point in their career. The LOX gained public recognition for their gritty lyricism and energetic group chemistry, helping to establish Jadakiss as a prominent figure in East Coast hip hop.
Jadakiss launched his solo career with the debut album Kiss Tha Game Goodbye in 2001, which, despite mixed critical reviews, achieved commercial success. Over the years, he released multiple albums that strengthened his status in the industry and contributed significantly to his net worth.
Some of his most impactful albums include Top 5 Dead or Alive, The Consignment, The Champ Is Here Part III, and The Last Kiss. His lyrical ability and consistency earned him respect from peers and fans alike. As of the latest available figures from 2015, Jadakiss’s estimated net worth was approximately $6 million, with an annual income reported to be around $706,000 at that time.
Jadakiss has encountered legal issues over the course of his career. In July 2004 and again in October 2006, he was arrested for possession-related felonies, including drug and firearm charges. These incidents drew media attention but did not significantly derail his music trajectory.
In a separate event, Jadakiss’s apartment was raided in 2009 by New York law enforcement. Police arrested two individuals found on the premises for possession of heroin and marijuana. Jadakiss was not present at the time of the raid and was not charged in connection with the incident.
Jadakiss maintains a relatively private personal life. There is no confirmed information regarding his marital status, and no public records indicate any marriage or divorce. He is primarily recognized for his work in music rather than public or personal controversies outside the legal matters mentioned.
