At the age of 18, Mac was sentenced to three years in prison for gang related crimes in 2000.[3]
On November 9, 2003, Mac was involved in an altercation with MC Jin at a bar in Chinatown, Manhattan, where he shot Jin's acquaintance, rapper Christopher 'LS' Louie, in the back.[7][8] Mac later went on the run for over a year and was apprehended in Seattle, Washington when he tried to leave the country with a fake passport.[3] In prison, he was nicknamed 'China Mac' by the Mac Ballers gang. He was released on parole in November 2013 and founded the Red Money Records record label and pet store with the money he saved up while in prison.[3][7][6]
