In a 2017 interview, Tarver revealed he was sexually assaulted as a child in the music industry. Additionally, he struggled with drugs and alcohol and attempted to take his own life in 2012.

In his final Instagram post, which is from  March 25, Tarver wrote, “When I think of being at my lowest point in life & suicide was my only way out in 2012. After the attempted try that landed me on life support for 17 hours on a breathing machine… it was NOBODY BUT GOD that put breath back in my body!”
