Biography

He grew up in Bergen. Mosele's youth was turbulent without a father present, and he was sent early to a special school for youth with behavioral difficulties. Mosele himself describes his upbringing as nice, but with a lot of "nonsense and fanfare".
In 2014, Mosele was sentenced to two years in prison for two episodes of violence, where, among other things, he hit a random passerby in the head with cobblestone. Mosele escaped on his way to custody, but was arrested by police during a performance at a pub in Bergen two months later.
In 2018, the police stopped a concert where Mosele performed. Several people, including Mosele, were arrested. The arrest took place after he allegedly shouted "transl. fuck the police" from the stage. Among other things, cocaine was found on the Mosele during the incident. After initially refusing a summons of NOK 12,000, he was sentenced in Kristiansand district court on 23 September 2020 to pay a fine of NOK 8,000 and NOK 2,000 in court costs.
