Introduction
Majesty Blessed Moses (born October 24, 1998), known professionally as Bizzy Banks, is an American rapper born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City. He is known for the hit single "30" with Pop Smoke which peaked at 97 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2021.
Early life
Majesty Blessed Moses was born October 24, 1998 in Brooklyn to a Trinidadian-American household. Moses was inspired by the rappers G Herbo and Lil Wayne, and by his older brother. His favorite rappers growing up were Lil Wayne, G Herbo, Chief Keef, and Young Thug. He also listened to reggae music.
Bizzy's father and brother were both incarcerated when he was younger, so his mother primarily raised him. Bizzy has an older brother and younger sister. In an interview with Audiomack, Bizzy said of his upbringing: "I wouldn’t say it’s what I’m about, but I would say the things I went through, like my older brother and my father going to jail when I was younger, it just made me become older at a young age because those two were the only two males in the house really. It was [just] me and my mom after a while. So, after that, I had to get on my gritty shit. Growing up where I’m from, you can't slack in no way possible. I had to look at life differently."
2022 Arrest
On January 7, 2022, the Hackensack Police Department's SWAT team took Bizzy Banks into custody after a raid of his Hackensack apartment. They seized two pounds of marijuana, $2,750 in cash and a revolver loaded with hollow point bullets. Bizzy was charged with several firearms and drug trafficking offenses.
Following the raid, police sent Bizzy to the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack, where he awaited a court appearance.
