Bizarre is married, you can clearly see on his chest the tattoo "Deanna", which is his wife's name. In the song "Coming Home" from ''Hannicap Circus'', he mentions the tattoo: "What, you want a watch, bracelet or a chain/ How 'bout my chest, a tattoo of your name (DeeDee)." In the video for the song "Shit On You", his wife can be seen sweating, standing over a stove, and cleaning various things, while Bizarre's verse speaks "All women ain't shit, only good for cooking, cleaning, and sucking dick, and that's it." In the video of "40 oz", she moves her hand across her neck in the 'cutthroat' motion while Bizarre raps, "I'll have my wife cut your throat". |
