**Matthew Christian Scott** (born January 25, 2002) is an American rapper from Burlington, North Carolina, best known professionally as **YGN Dripmasterz**, and formerly **Lil Drxp.** He is best-known as a founding member of **Young Grown Nation,** and is the second-in-command, reporting under his childhood friend + godbrother, YGN Squadz.

Dripz is best-known as the "old reliable", as he'd always be the first to be counted on for his resourcefulness, while Squadz would be the "man with the plan", both always maintaining great chemistry when put together, although Drip has been known to be bitter, cold and negative in all stances, what has been accomplished with his assistance, could've landed him in extremely high-standards, had company he'd been assigned to work with (ex. Bombz, Knucklz) not botched his efforts. Despite this, he maintains an undying loyalty to Squadz and the YGN, though was in hostile competition with YGN Kaigez in sporadic, off/on feuds, which as of now, has been resolved and they are on good terms since making amends once again, on February 22-23, 2023.

Dripmasterz is well-known as an extremely controversial, highly polarizing figure whose "not for everybody", and is regarded as the shadiest of the YGN for his many backlashing events, most notably the kidnapping of Owen John Hinton, and allegations of pedophilia, and confirmed reports of womanizing, infidelity and compulsive lying. His alleged incestic-relationship with his mother, Cathy, is another controversial subject that drives negative light his way.

From November 2022 - February 2023, Dripmasterz had (unwillingly) cut contact with a majority of the YGN, and remained on a hiatus due to a relationship. His ties with YGN Squadz were neutral, however, a majority of the YGN had shunned Dripz for his apparent abandonment of his childhood friends.

This was temporarily resolved on February 21, 2023, as Drip and his girlfriend had broken up. His previous doings were forgiven, when it was claimed he did not intend to abandon them, and had off and on points where no matter how much reassurance he gave, he'd still lie to and betray them to get back together with her, proving to everyone he is in fact, a sex-obsessed sociopath.

*He made his comeback on March 8, 2022 on the songs 'Keep it Going', and 'Out the Window' which also bid returns of YGN Squadz, YGN KGlockz and YGN Sinnerz. He also recorded released a solo titled 'Respect' the same day. Despite this, he'd later betray his friends again a third time on March 21, 2023 to side with his toxic ex, getting back together and is now on hiatus again, showing Drip will always be a lying, selfish, shameless hypocrite and total scumbag, with no redeemable qualities. He lost all respect from his peers, and it is shown he will never change, and it is possible he won't be back in the YGN. Drip would return in April, only to betray YGN a fourth time to get back together with Katelynn on the 13th.*

## Role in YGN

Dripmasterz is the second in command of Young Grown Nation; he and YGN Sinnerz are the right-hand men of YGN Squadz, and are *almost always* a part of Squadz' entourage, and appear frequently in his live-videos and hangout sessions, and is extremely frequently seen by his leader's side. Aside from this, Dripz is a governing lieutenant of the YGN, who is more than capable of adjusting the roster, be it by adding or exiling recruits, most notably with Lil Paytrain and former aspiring addition Jessica Russell. (although Squadz was the one who exiled Jessica, Dripz both added and exiled Paytrain over feuds)

His responsibilities aside from governing is often the designated driver and more often than not chauffeur for his peers, and is resourceful, often financially backing up actions the YGN require, providing transport and other assets needed at the time, including but not limited to music equipment, mechanical knowledge with maintenance on equipment, vehicles, etc.

He often tags along and scopes out abandoned buildings for his YGN to explore, along with other hotspots that could be in the best-interests of his peers.

He made his gaming stream debut on February 25, 2023.

Ultimately, Dripz is an administrator and music-personality with his YGN, and an occasional vlog participant, when not simply hanging out with his peers, and coordinates and motivates all acts by his leader, and even on his own terms has made acts, though this is less common due to his slightly less superior role towards Squadz.

## History

### Childhood (2002-2011)

Matthew Christian Scott was born on January 25, 2002, to Cathleen Mackinlay, and Curtis Scott Sr. Although he is one of five children, he only lives with one notable sibling, Michael Scott, who, like mother Cathy, is on negative standing with the YGN, none of whom can stand Cathy especially. He was originally to be named Carver Matthew Scott; his current middle name, 'Christian', was to be the forename of his brother, Michael, though the name was reverted to what it is today shortly before he was born.

The pregnancy with Matthew, and later Michael, was considered unsafe; Cathy was reported to have smoked alarming amounts of methamphetamines whilst pregnant with both children, and alcohol abuse further damaged their development process. This is considered to have been the key-factor in their extremely low intelligence and learning disabilities.

During his childhood, his father, Curtis would go on to divorce Cathy, over reported infidelity on both sides, and left Matt fatherless for a decent chunk of his life. As a child suffering from Asperger's Syndrome, he was quiet, often isolated and often held intolerance of Democrats growing up, due to his strong Republican environment growing up; he'd often find himself affiliated with members of the Ku Klux Klan, whom his mother had ties into, which further grew his extremist personality. It has also been undisputed as to if he holds misogynistic views, due to his own infidelity and womanizing motivations. He often was off/on in friendships with his brother, Michael.

After having to leave multiple schools, due to the transitioning moves between his mother, he'd eventually end up at South Graham Elementary. Here, he'd have no friends, and often remain the quiet, short and easy-target for bullies, especially due to his extreme poverty, though often times, it has been cited Matt has been rarely bullied, and often tended to make crude remarks on his own.

Throughout his youth, he'd go on to wear the same pair of clothes almost on the daily, soap and shampoo was "too expensive" by his mother's standards, and when showering, they had often simply just rinsed, and put the same pair of clothing on again. This would be a factor in the two failing to develop friends in their childhood, and both boys were not fed proper meals, as Cathy allowed her expenses to go into methamphetamine and alcohol, and would live in a decaying trailer, infested with roaches, for most of the boys childhood.

Nobody in the trailer park would play with either boys, and they attempted to befriend eachother, though they shared lack of interests in life, and this frustration, along with the excessive transfers in school, is what lead to him becoming more bitter towards his fellow classmates, and the strongly prejudiced environment he grew into with his mother, is what lead to his resent towards non-white, Christian-Catholic boys.

Eventually, he'd finally meet a friend; Kristian Garcia, later known as YGN KGlockz, who he had met on the school-bus, the friendship forming after Kris offered to do the late-homework of Matt, as Kris was considered overly-intelligent for his age, and Matthew's fourth-grade homework was no problem for the younger boy.

It was then, that Kris introduced Matt to his best-friend, Nicholas King, who would later become YGN Squadz. Although the two didn't initially have any extended interaction with one another, they soon bonded. This bond meant a quad formed, with Dripz, KGlockz, Squadz and Sinnerz, and the four made history at South Graham Elementary.

With the friendships made here, Matthew found his living conditions enhanced extremely well; he'd receive proper meals for the first time since before his parents' divorce, he'd taken clean showers, and was even given clothing for Christmas. He slowly began to ease up on his resent towards the world, and developed a clingy, undying loyalty to his friends, often being hard to get rid of, as he never wanted to return home. At times, Michael would also hang around the squad, though he never truly bonded with anyone, and was ultimately never considered a full-time YGN.

While he was closest to Nick out of anyone, he later recanted the positive, good Samaritan feedback on his childhood with him in early 2022, going on to state Nick had frequently bullied him growing up. However, Nick and the YGN quickly bashed Matt for this claim, citing that while Nick was in fact hard on him, he never was out of malice, and was simply attempting to wake up Matthew into the real world, and to take things seriously, as Matt was known to be extremely stubborn, and easy to give up.

### Meeting Aide4Raidz and Knucklz (later 2011)

Matt would be introduced to Elizabeth King 'Knucklz' in 2011, after Nick had reunited with her at SGE's daycare program; because she was friends with him 3 years prior, this established her dominance over her Matt despite him being older than her. This being said, after Ezzy was introduced to the quad, she had hit it off perfectly, and she was the one who had taught all of the YGN, including Matt, who during his youth, partook in skating proudly.

He'd often play basketball with her, and the now five would enjoy an array of activities, including Wii, which was hot at the time, and more often than not, the five would play Wii Sports + Resort, Mario Kart, and other games of activity.

Later, Matt would meet Aiden Nelson'Aide4Raidz' also through Nick, and although Aiden was close with the 5, he was never officially coined a member of the squad, as he'd often partake in his own group of friends and activities, but frequently hung around the future YGN, even partaking in many of their activities; it was Aiden's father who taught the YGN, including Matt, how to play guitar, and although Ezzy got into heavy-metal and rock music from Aiden, Matt did not.

Saige Ingram 'Kaige' had always been around, often tagging along in a similar stance as Aiden, though at lesser extent, and had little impression on the squad, including Matt, for the greater part of their upbringing.

### Later Years, and Dropping Out

At some point around 2011, Matthew was introduced to Lil Frosty, who was close to both Nick and Kris. Due to Matt's lack of a father figure, he would go on to look up to Frosty as if he were his owner father. This decision was what nurtured him into manhood, and Matt would very frequently see Nick because of their shared interest with Frosty, who had taught them many skills, including carpentry, and they would often due numerous amounts of manual labor in their upbringing, and on many instances, would spend decent amounts of their childhood at Frosty's, if not with their squad.

Matt had many failed relationships during his childhood, and developed a code-of-conduct to never objectify women regardless of the heartbreak he received. His transition into his teenage years were smooth, although he remained a quiet, xenophobic prejudice for a time, he soon calmed down the darker interests as he was attempting to find success.

At all points during his life since 2011, he'd been almost always hanging around the squad, whom he'd grown up with. He'd had a rocky history in both middle and high school, as he'd often get in trouble for making racist jokes, smoking with Ezzy, and on many instances skipping class.

By the time he was 14, he'd already, under a form of depression, caused by a frustration at his lack of intelligence and lovelife, began an incestic relationship with his mother, Cathy, which mostly started after Cathy became depressed and turned to severe alcoholism over what she described as a poor lovelife, though it's often asserted Cathy was unfaithful in all of her relationships. Matt had lost his virginity to his mother, in an attempt to comfort her with "love and affection", which he hoped would benefit them both.

His transition into high-school began regularly, although things quickly soured, as although he never found himself in serious trouble, he'd express his later hatred for the school with his friends, he didn't receive genuine bullying, but would go on to explain his sincere hatred towards the Hispanic classmates, stating the school was a "democrat infested dump". Nick had agreed, but stated he'd focus on attempting to find a school less "liberal infested". A common ground Matt found with his peers, is their sincere hatred towards the Democratic Party, although Matt's hatred was unique to him, as he would have suited better had the school been a "white only utopia".

His grades at GHS was abysmal, he'd often find himself frustrated with his "obnoxious classmates" and find excuses to truant, often meeting his bestfriend Nick in the bathroom, vaping and listening to Migos throughout 2017. Other times, Nick, Matt, Ezzy and Aiden would simply skip school entirely, with several other friends, and find adventures elsewhere.

Eventually, in May 2018, Matthew would ultimately drop-out, a month short of summer break, although it's believed he'd actually just never returned after the summer. The decision to do this was met with many factors; his hatred towards Mexicans, blacks, homosexuals and women, seeing it a Democratic breeding ground, his extremely low grades, Nick's temporary suspension and transfer to Ray Street Academy, and ultimately, Matt simply had no interest in school, wanting to quickly jump into the real world, and get into working.

Later, Nick would return in August, having an off/on attendance at GHS, and ultimately dropped out himself in February 2019 (though, he later became an online school student until graduating in 2021) and Aiden dropped out altogether shortly after; Ezzy was the only one out of the high-school branch of the squad to remain at GHS, until her own graduation in 2020.

### Post Dropout (2018 - 2020)

Matthew would soon focus on online gaming, and continuously bonding with his peers upon dropping out. He soon got his first job working third shift at Arby's in Graham from July - November 2018, in which he'd soon begin to hold numerous other forms of employment at many jobs, including but not limited to CT Nassau, GKN Driveline-Alamance, and IND Tool.

Because his mother refused to work growing up, and lived off of unemployment/stimulus checks, Drip had to hold many jobs to provide for his family the first opportunity he got to get a job, and when he was younger, his father provided for the household. This is also a leading reason why he lived in such poor conditions, notably the section-8 housings throughout his life.

He held many off/on relationships throughout this phase, and like his childhood, he remained the quiet, yet observant glue to the crew. He also stayed an effeminate, moral compass with a dorky, goofy demeanor as he soared through his teen years. He never did maintain a serious relationship nor long-term employment through the years, and was at his calmest, always sticking to Nick like glue, and the two often went everywhere together.

However, as Nick's relationship with Max Eakins 'MaxDJcat' grew controlling around August-September 2018, Nick began to stray away from everyone in the squad, including Matt. Without his "twin" by his side, this left a void in his life, that gave opportunity for Kris and Enrique to become closer to him, although things were never as serious without Nick, so this left more space for him to focus on finding a career that would simply gather extra money, rather than a future.

Eventually, when Nick and Max broke up on February 10, 2020 the crew slowly began to come together again, albeit with Young Rich Nation, a different personal direction taken by Nick and close-friend Josh Griener, who Nick met nearly a year prior. Although Matt didn't bond with Nick like the old days until around June, Kris maintained a strong friendship between the trio.

### Relationship and Breakup with Nicole Rachel (July 2020)

Matthew had met Nicole Rachel in early July 2020, when hanging with Kris and Nick. After both had rode around Greensboro seeking entertainment during the COVID-19 pandemic, they managed to at the least binge aux-music and drive around, Nichole and Kristian were a couple.

Eventually, after relationship problems emerged with the two, Nichole had broken up, and Matt swooped in and took her from Kris, which lead to a massive strain on the friendship between the two; Kris was devastated his best-friend had taken his girlfriend, while Matt and Nicole had no remorse, and continued to date throughout July, although after two weeks, their relationship shuttered, after Drip found out Nicole was pregnant with Kris' child. (although, it was never confirmed to have ultimately been his kid, Matt assumed it was, and refused to be a step-father, and dumped her.

Heartbroken with the decision, he accused Nicole of leaving him, which was believed by his peers, and they all comforted him throughout the breakup. However, Nicole stayed a friend to them until September, when she ultimately cut contact with all of them. Matt often got drunk to pass the pain, though Nick had stayed by him unconditionally, Kris took solace in the breakup, overjoying himself of the pain she gave him, by seeing that relationship topple and leave Matt worse off than Kris had been.

### Relationship with Lil Foxy and the YRN (October - November 2020)

For the most part, Matt held little interest in the YRN, until meeting Brandi Fox, aka Lil Foxy. Upon meeting her, he had recently became 'Lil Drxp', although he did not make music. Matt had temporarily moved into Tennessee sometime in August, as his mother decided to take advantage of the section-8 housing at McMinn Villa, Matt and Brandi, who became close in September 2020, would go on to becoming a crush relationship, which intended to become a full on relationship in person.

Brandi, whose family run the Fox Rental Management, was born into wealth. She had gotten her father's support in dating Matthew, as at the time, Matthew was more stable after speaking with her; he was loyal, wacky, yet ambitious, something that gave her both fun, and promise. Seeing how happy Matthew made his father, Michael Fox had agreed to allow Matthew stay at the Fox Manor in Elon NC, which would've given Matt a way to return to NC, as he was in TN until he could get transport and residence in his home-state.

The relationship took off well, and after Josh Griener 'Young Vibez' was being released from jail on November 10, 2020, he agreed to drive Brandi and Nick to Tennessee and pick up Matt, and relocate him into NC. On that day, all had seemed well; Josh had began preparing to drive into TN, Nick and Brandi met up with him and a majority of the YRN, and the trip was going well at first; Josh, Brandi, plus Josh's fiance Nyla, and his little brother, Anthony, along with longtime friend Blake 'YRN Grease' on the trip, and set out to get Nick, then head to TN to get Matt.

During this time, Drxp had been playing Call of Duty: Warzone with Squadz (Nick) and Sinnerz (Enrique), on the night of November 10, 2020. Around that time, Frosty had joined their Xbox party to reveal a drive by shooting had taken place and both Brandi and Josh were killed. This news emotionally shook the three, who were all devestated by the news. It was later revealed, the shooting was orchestrated by Laven Wise, a boy both Drxp, Squadz, Foxy and Vibez had befriended prior. Laven had intended for all four to be killed, but only succeeded with the later two.

After the news got out, Drxp was wrecked emotionally, wouldn't eat, leave the house, and was extremely terrified for his and his family's lives, as this was the first time he had ever experienced the murder of someone he'd loved. After drinking himself nearly into the grave, Squadz, who was also hurt, would go on to constantly facetime Drxp, especially at late night, promising he'd always be by his side, and that they'd get through this together. At no point did Squadz abandon his friend, and Drxp was warmed by the care Squadz had given.

Around this period, Drxp was at the lowest he'd ever been; his mental health collapsed, and he began theorizing conspiracies, and his mother, Cathy, had been getting in his, having him believe God sacrificed Josh and Brandi to save Drxp, and then he began talking to himself frequently, contemplating suicide and both Squadz and Owen Hinton, aka Bombz, had attempted to save him; later, both Sinnerz, Aide4Raidz, Knucklz and even KGlockz, had sought out their best efforts to help him, while Laven began to pressure him into suicide, insisting this was the only way he would see them again.

It seemed like a dead-end, as Drxp would fail to even sleep or eat, often sinking into a hole of refusal to go on, although with the combined efforts watching over him the following days, things began to slightly ease up on him.

### Relationship with YGN Kaigez (first/ November 13, 2020 - July 16, 2021)

During his recovery from the murders of Brandi and Josh, it was on November 12th that Drxp had become close with childhood friend Kaige during reconnection; it was Squadz who brought attention to Kaigez, the half-sister of Sinnerz, on the situation. Kaige had previously crushed on Squadz in September, although for unknown reasons, Squadz did not return the feelings, (although it is commonly believed because at the time, he had feelings for Janisam) and around that time, Squadz was dating Keri McRae (Phantom Queen). Noting the crush Kaige had on him, he introduced her to Drxp, in hopes she could date him, and this remotivate Drxp to recover.

After a day, they began to make things official, having known eachother all their lives, it was believed to have been "meant to be", though they had never hung around 1/1 during their course of knowing eachother, until this point. Also, Kaige did not attend GHS with Drxp, nor Squadz, as she entered Graham High in August 2019, after which both Drxp, Squadz and Aide4Raidz had dropped out, although she and Knucklz had met, and on multiple occasions spoken, but were not entirely "besties" by any means. (she did attend GHS with her brother, Sinnerz, and first-cousin once removed, KGlockz)

Their relationship remained strong throughout November, but on the 30th, he would be charged with domestic-abuse from his previous relationship with Nicole, and decided to turn himself in the following day; Drxp spent December 2020 - March 2021 in jail, but throughout the process, both Kaige, Squadz, KGlockz, Sinnerz and Bombz maintained a strong support towards Drxp's innocence, and Kaige never cheated on him, staying with him proudly and never giving into Laven 'Bleak' who attempted seduction and attempts to convince her to walk away.

Drxp was released on March 15, 2021, after Lil Frosty posted bond; both Squadz and his grandmother drove into Tennessee to get Drxp and bring him home to North Carolina at last.

After arriving at the Hamilton County Jail, Drxp was picked up around 8:42 AM, and got in their van, riding back into NC. Here, he stayed at a hotel, while working for Permatech in Graham, and attempted to get an apartment with Squadz, and as part of a deal he made with Frosty (to work for him, in exchange for the bond being paid), he would partake in temporary security-work.

Drxp had also planned to get both Bombz and Laven (as both had previously wanted to run away from home, and Drxp was willing to shelter them) once he'd saved money and gotten his own car, then after collecting them, Drxp and Squadz were gonna get an apartment together, with Kaige moving in to live with Drxp, and both Bombz and Bleak were gonna reside there, too.

However, he'd ultimately betray the deal, after he left his job at Permatech two days later, he'd claim to Squadz that his father had "somehow figured out where he was, and is coming to get me". Squadz obviously caught onto the situation quickly, realizing Drxp had complained to his father about the situation, and demanded to go see his "precious little mommy".

This infuriated Frosty over the top, as Drxp betrayed his deal that got him out of jail, and had used this opportunity to go back home, where he could freeload all he wanted with no repercussions. He would go on to tell Bombz and Bleak not to trust Squadz, as he was an "idiot" and if they did, they would become stranded in NC, like he nearly was, due to nobody in the YGN bending for him to succeed when he had himself to blame. Both Bleak and Bombz stuck by Squadz; Bombz because for the longest, he was a devoted loyalist to Squadz and the YGN, while Bleak simply found feigning loyalty to Squadz would be more rewarding than with Drip.

Because of Drxp returning on the 18th, his friendship with YGN had soured poorly, although they recovered about a week later. By then, Drxp explained his situation; he was going to stay at his mother's and continue working, get his license, a car, GED and would then go get Bombz and Bleak. However, by this point, Bleak was losing interest in remaining allies with either side, and would full-on betray the squad on April 14-15, 2021.

Drxp returned to NC on May 7, 2021 with his longtime friend and neighbor, Lil Paytrain, and after spending a night at a hotel in Burlington, they met up with Squadz, and began to hang out for the day, which nearly ended up with an arrest later that day, and since this was merely just a brief hangout, where Drxp was to introduce Paytrain, an aspiring YGN, to his hometown and meet the YGN leader (technically, co-leader as Knucklz also held authority), he was not met with any negative feedback returning to TN this time.

On May 21, 2021, Drxp was arrested for the kidnapping of Bombz, and this lead to not only Bombz defecting the forming YGN to side with Bleak, but also numerous other repercussions, especially as this time, Frosty refused to help Drxp, and it was up to his own father to pay the bond to get him out.

On July 16th, after a long, ongoing battle between Drxp and Kaige, as Drxp became more hostile after the kidnapping, Kaige left him, which marked their first breakup. It was mostly cited as Kaige felt him a danger to her little sister, and condemned him over pedophilia allegations, after he kidnapped Bombz.

### Return to NC, and Second Relationship with Kaige (October 24 - November 9, 2021)

Drxp, who was now YGN Dripmasterz, had returned to North Carolina, this time, driving his red 2001 Ford Focus compact. He was now roommates with Squadz, and proceeded to get back together with Kaige after talking to her again and explaining the situation with Bombz. With Squadz, Dripz had gotten a proper haircut, took clean showers, was fed properly, and did not have to pay bills, and in return, referred Squadz to Honda Power Equipment in Swepsonville, where Driz had began working soon after arriving into NC.

Throughout his days being back home, he spent continuous time with his fellow YGN, although few of whom explored abandoned buildings with him and Squadz. He and Squadz continued to bond, reliving their childhood, and all seemed well, until he abruptly decided to go back to Tennessee, this time, for absolutely no reason. The YGN had mostly stayed at Squadz' place, alongside Dripmasterz.

After returning to Tennessee, he was once again blacklisted from the YGN, and remained independent from November 9, 2021 - June 17, 2022, when he finally returned. During this phase, he continued to date aimlessly, and job-hop.

He'd go on to release his first solo, titled 'Fake Friends' in December.

### June 17, 2022 - Present Day

At some point, Drip returned to North Carolina, and moved into a home in the same neighborhood as Squadz; whether this was intentional or not is uncertain. The two let bygones be, and would work together on their friendship returning to its former glory. Then, Drip and Kaige would get back together July 15th, for the third and final time, and things were going well.

Dripmasterz was now in good with his childhood friends again, and things went smoothly until September 9, 2022, when Dripz, Sinnerz and Squadz, who had driven to Mississippi to return Knucklz back into NC as she'd wanted, were met with Knucklz herself backing out last second, and Knucklz would betray the YGN, finding herself exiled.

Shortly after, Drip had cheated on Kaige with a girl named Jessica Russell, who has a husband and two children. Then, more drama would transpire with Dripz accusing Kaigez, who had been at University since August, of putting his mother in the hospital.

Later on, Dripz would go on to ghost his YGN due to a current relationship, in which all of YGN coin him a traitor for actions he's done in the relationship. The relationship first ended sometime in February 2023 and bid him a return to the YGN, but twice he'd betray them again to get back with her, this final time starting March 21st, he seemingly is gone for good, and has denounced his YGN peers, justifying his doings and continuing his meltdown, which has lead to the entire remaining YGN to condemn him seemingly for good, marking that he is and always will be a selfish, manipulative traitor.

Dripmasterz would make sporadic appearances with his peers throughout 2023.

He's currently expected to make an appearance in the March 2024 'Chip off the Old Block' tour. His relationship with Katelynn Ligenfelter holds back his potential in YGN, along with his stubborn and obnoxious personality.

## Legal Problems

YGN Dripmasterz was for the most part, a wholesome, effeminate dork, beloved by all of his friends and squad, and considered the "goofball" of the group, while Squadz was the chaotic, sarcastic one. This all changed on November 10, 2020, when his girlfriend Brandi Fox, along with longtime friend Josh Griener, were murdered in a drive-by shooting. It is believed this snapped him mentally, although a few days later, after childhood acquaintance and occasional tagalong buddy YGN Kaigez came in to comfort him, they would find themselves in a relationship, that repaired Drip and by December - May 20, 2021, he was at the peak of his life, until the kidnapping of Owen Hinton, which is believed to have broken the camel's back, especially when Kaigez left him over it.

#### Raping his Nephew Allegations (Unknown/Circa 2019-2020)

The Scott-Mackinlay family were investigated for sex-crimes in the past, according to the news articles reporting the Owen Hinton kidnapping. This was the investigation in question; at an unknown time period, Dripz and Cathy would be babysitting Caiden Scott (Dripz' nephew, Cathy's grandson). During this time period, it is believed Cathy violently held down the four year old, while Drip proceeded to rape the child. Nothing came of the investigation, especially as Caiden's father, Curtis Scott Jr, refuses to prosecute his mother, who he allegedly loves more than even his own often neglected child.

The boy had never admitted to the sexual-abuse and exploitation, which is another factor that deterred prosecution.

#### Assault on his Mother (August 7, 2020)

On August 7, 2020, police were called to his mother's apartment at the McMinn Villa, where he'd been residing since two months prior, during a long-term visit with his mother, until he could find travel and shelter back in North Carolina. Drip was detained, after police arrived at the scene, having been reportedly "violent" and "uncooperative" with the authorities. It was then determined he had landed a punch on his mother, after she had told him to "get your [Drip] drunk ass out", attempting to force him out of the home, as he'd been verbally abusive to her, and his brother Michael prior to the attack.

He threw one punch into her, staggering her into the floor, and according to both witnesses, including Chris Hurley, a then roommate, Drip immediately helped her back up apologizing, though the verbal argument and throwing of objects had obligated nearby tenants to call in the apparent attack. Drip was not charged, due to Cathy's refusal to press charges, however Drip was forced to stay at a nearby motel for an unspecified period; he'd return sometime by the 22nd.

### Allegations of Domestic Abuse & November 10, 2020 Involvement (November 2020 - March 2021)

It had been speculated that Dripmasterz had, on November 10, 2020, gotten into a heated argument with Young Vibez, real name Josh Griener, speculated in which Vibez had mocked Dripz mother, Cathy. On that day, Drip was to be relocated back into NC, and Josh had just gotten out of jail, and volunteered to drive him into North Carolina. The trip was planned out on November 10th, and Lil Foxy had agreed to tag along, but unfortunately, around 6:41 PM, they were both killed in a drive-by shooting, just two minutes away from YGN Squadz' apartment.

Prior to this, he was in a relationship with Nichole Matteson Rachel, 16, who was the ex-girlfriend of KGlockz at the time they got together. KGlockz was with Nichole throughout early July 2020, and had broken up with her sometime by the closure of July, as Dripmasterz had began dating her sometime until mid-August, an event that temporarily shuttered the friendship between Dripz and KGlockz. The relationship ended sour, as Drip found out Rachel was (allegedly) with KGlockz' child.

After the breakup, Nichole is alleged to have hung around Drip and the YGN until sometime in September 2020, and was definitely out of their lives by October. Things had seemed stable, until she came forth about allegations of both Dripz and KGlockz having been physically and verbally abusive towards her in November, and Nichole would attempt to file a lawsuit against both men; the lawsuit went nowhere, and charges against KGlockz could not be found evident, however, Dripz' past criminal-history made him a probable suspect, and a warrant was signed for his arrest in later December.

On November 30, 2020, he would face the charges, and would go on to turn himself in on December 1st, a trial that ended quickly, as on the 3rd, he plead guilty, later retracting by saying he only did so, as he could not afford a proper lawyer, and that he just wanted to face a milder sentence rather than continue to fight, and extend his time. On December 29th, it was alleged he was now a prime suspect in the November 10, 2020 murders of Joshua Griener, Brandi Fox and Blake Garrett, the latter who succumbed the following day of the November 10 shooting.

Drip had been consequently barred by the YRN, who went on to remove all traces of Dripmasterz tied with them. Despite the ongoing drama regarding his name, YGN Kaigez, who he'd been dating since shortly after the shooting, stood by him and fiercely defended his innocence, along with Squadz and KGlockz.

However, on March 11, 2021, a bond had been posted by Lil Frosty, as Dripmasterz' murder charges were acquitted, and the time having spent for the trial was judged to have been lengthy enough to compensate a sentence for the allegations, and it is currently unknown of the status of this trial, although it is believed the case was ultimately dropped. On March 14, 2021, YGN Squadz, accompanied by his grandmother, would drive out to Tennessee to collect Drip, collecting him as he was released from the jail on the 15th, and the three sought out back into North Carolina, as Frosty had negotiated a deal to work for him as a security-temp, in exchange for his freedom, Drip would ultimately betray the deal, returning to Tennessee on March 18th.

##### Statutory Rape Charges (April 21, 2021)

On April 21, 2021, Drip had been practicing his driving with the newly purchased Red 2001 Ford Focus, when he had decided to test the speed cap, reaching 95mph in a 45 zone, before being pulled over. After an argumentative exchange, in which Drip cited there had been no traffic, and thus he felt the traffic stop unconstitutional, he was discovered with no license, and the officer proceeded to run his name, in which he discovered Drip was warranted for statutory rape, and he was consequently arrested.

The charges had been tipped off by Laven Wise, frustrated with his rejection from YGN Kaigez, who refused to leave Drip for him [Laven] during his arrest. Although Kaige was 16 at the time, and Drip 19, the charges were dropped as it was apparent no sexual activity was partaken by the pair, and if so, the age of consent in North Carolina (where Kaige lives, and where Drip primarily lived, albeit not at the time of the arrest) is 16, and Drip was then released May 5th.

##### Burglary Allegations (May 8, 2021)

On May 8, 2021, after hanging out in North Carolina and reuniting with his old crew physically for the first time in months, Drip, along with YGN Squadz and Lil Paytrain were in Lewisville, North Carolina, listening to music and driving around aimlessly, after a long hangout throughout the Burlington-Graham-Mebane area, when around 9:22 PM, they had parked to allow the overheating car to settle, long enough for Drip to put antifreeze in it.

Paytrain had asked Squadz to walk with him, as the aforementioned had been wanting to see deer, given the forests were a great hotspot for it. Due to the fact the YGN were all known to wear all-black, along with a hat, beanie and because of COVID, black-masks, neighbors in the surrounding area had contacted local police and reported the suspicious figures. As Paytrain began to frustratingly demand to Squadz why Frosty likes Drip so much, as Drip had been taking far too long to repair the car, so the two decided to call him.

Drip had explained he was pulled over by police, which lead to Squadz and Paytrain frantically attempting to make their way towards him, fearing trouble as Drip had unlicensed firearms and also possessed machetes, which could've lead to his arrest. After arriving on the scene, Squadz and Paytrain explained to the police the situation, and after being patted down and ran through the system, they were not detained, but put in the back of one police car, and driven to Dripz' 2001 Ford Focus, where they were told not to be caught driving it back home; Paytrain agreed to drive it, and returned Drip to Tennessee, while Squadz remained in NC.

##### May 14, 2021 Lowe's Incident

Dripz was at a Lowe's in Athens, having been driven by Paytrain due to the aforementioned being intoxicated and needing a designated driver, in search of a new faucet and/or pipe, in order to help Cathy's at-the-time boyfriend, Dwayne, fix a sink. A black child, around 11 years old, had walked behind Drip, who frantically reached for a pipe and began chasing the child, repeatedly referring to him as a "n\*gger" and "thief".

After being stopped by several staff, Drip claimed the child was snooping behind him, fearing he was about to be pickpocketed, or have his wallet stolen, and that he'd acted in self-defense, while the kid claimed he was just walking by. Police had been called to the location, however, due to the lack of proof that Drip had acted in self-defense or not, he was simply just told to leave the store. Paytrain is claimed to have lied to peers later, stating Drip had been in the car the entire time, and was not the suspect in question at the Lowe's.

### Kidnapping of Owen Hinton (May 19-22, 2021)

The incident with Owen Hinton, aka YGN Bombz, had been in proposal for months prior, however, Drip intended for his fellow YGN to take part in the trip, with hopes that they would be able to help him relocate his close-friend, who had been intending to run away from home prior, though only Squadz and Lil Paytrain agreed to take part, both would find themselves unable to help; Paytrain would have continuous beef with Dripz, and Squadz was called in to help Frosty coordinate the trip, and ensure Drip didn't harm Owen.

On May 19, 2021, Drip sought out to Kincheloe, Michigan, where he'd finally collect Owen on the 20th, around this time, Squadz had been helping his own family move into their new home, which was alleged to be a temporary residence for Drip, Bombz and Paytrain, until Bombz is found a new home, a concept Squadz and Paytrain found stupid, and knew would end poorly, but were unable to get through to either Drip or Bombz.

After returning into Tennessee, Drip refused to drive Bombz into NC like he was supposed to, this was rushed because Bombz had selfishly gotten grounded the same day of Dripz' departure, for skipping school a few days prior, lying and claiming his teacher wouldn't say anything, and also not warning Drip that his parents had access into the phone, which was how Drip had been found later.

On May 21st, shortly after one night at the McMinn Villa, Drip had been teaching Bombz to drive, even going as far as to explore an abandoned warehouse, which further infuriated Squadz, Paytrain and especially Frosty, who did not approve of Dripz' slacking around, and exaggerating his sleep-deprivation, in a situation where they had borrowed time.

###### The Arrest (May 21, 2021)

Sometime after 6:30 PM, Dripmasterz had left with Bombz to get some snacks at a Citgo at 1124 W. Madison Ave. Upon returning, Drip claims he noticed several suspicious cars in the parking lot leading up to the McMinn Villa apartment Drip resided, but nevertheless, approached the door, where it had been locked; he claimed to have been on the phone with his mother, attempting to have the door unlocked, which obstructed him from hearing the approaching police. Paytrain, who was there at the time, due to his relationship as a neighbor to Drip, claims that in reality, Drip saw the police approaching, but pretended to be mistaken for someone else, and attempted to pull away from the policeman. Whatever the reason, the result in Drip being tackled to the ground is the same.

As Drip was tackled, he began to violently scream "MAMA!" at the top of his lungs multiple times, before he was handcuffed, followed by a simple "HELP!" Despite all of this, nobody had exited the apartment to aide Drip, and Bombz was pulled by police, as he attempted to run, and was then interrogated, while according to Paytrain, Drip had been on the ground in handcuffs, police with multiple firearms, including M16 assault-rifles were pointed at him and drawn at the apartment, as the police, unmarked with multiple homeland security and FBI, surrounded the complex and demanded the residents to evacuate the apartment.

Upon Cathy Mackinlay and Michael Scott's exit, Michael began to violently compulse, going into a panic-attack at the site of police, and Cathy was believed to have flushed numerous narcotics at the time, evident by her delayed response to Dripz' arrest. Upon the confiscation of his ID, Drip had been stood up, breaking free and attempting to flee, despite having been in handcuffs, profiled and surrounded by law-enforcement, and was quickly pulled again, this time it was believed he had broken into tears, and was then taken into the back of a patrol-car, where he began screaming "help" once again.

Drip was booked in McMinn County, though it is reported he was taken to Chattanooga, he states he was taken into the Hamilton County Jail, which is ultimately concluded to have been where he remained.

###### Bomb Threats & Evacuation of McMinn Villa/YRN Arrests (May 21-22, 2021)

Upon being arrested, Drip had threatened to bomb the McMinn Villa, if he was not immediately released. His mother, Cathy, suggested that his [Matthew's] friends in North Carolina called 'YRN' would be the best bet, and that it was (at the time) lead by the Graham Brothers, Connor, Dennis and Ricky. With this being said, the Bomb Disposal Units were deployed at the McMinn Villa, along with K-9 units and everyone in the complex had to be evacuated for several hours, backed up by both Lil Paytrain and a friend named Alan.

Then, several members of the SWAT and State Police were brought out to the Thomasville, North Carolina residence of the Graham Family, on May 22, 2021. Connor Graham, along with father Bret, were both quickly and violently apprehended, despite the story showing nobody in the premise resisted. Then, the arrests proceeded with Connor's wife, Abigail Sanderson-Graham, and then the remaining Graham Bros, Dennis and Ricky, along with the mother, Leslie. They were all booked at the Davidson County Jail, while their home was searched for bombs or possible "weapons of mass-destruction" according to the swatting. Connor and Abby's baby, Bradley J, was put in foster-care upon the arrests.

Then, Randy Danger and YRN Skipz were arrested outside their home as an accomplice, with Skipz being evicted from his home due to a discovered severe possession of marijuana, and would later stay with friends from time/time until his death on June 1, 2021 following a car accident.

Then YRN admin Papa Brix would narrowly evade an arrest as he was eating at a Waffle-House on 807 E Harden St in Graham with his girlfriend, when he received word of the manhunt for YRN as "suspected terrorists". He used this opportunity to flee until the heat cleared, as police had already been at his home searching, and were likely waiting for him to return home and apprehend him in an ambush.

On May 23rd, everyone had been released, as their innocence was confirmed, but were reportedly not compensated for the false-arrest situation.

###### Interrogation & Release (May 21-22, 2021)

During the interrogation, he had quickly admitted to the kidnapping, going on to apologize for the crime and bomb-threats, along with the attempted resistance, stating it was a "stupid thing to do". When questioned on if the kidnapping had been premeditated, Drip denied, insisting the trip to Michigan and picking up the minor and harboring him from his family, was not "planned out" and that it'd "just happened".

In an aim to garner sympathy and pity, Drip falsely claimed to have been placed in suicide watch, and he remained in the jail for an an entire night, being released in the afternoon of May 22, 2021, after his father, Curtis Sr, had posted the bond, allowing Drip to go home, although his phone remained confiscated and is believed to still remain in evidence.

It's then believed the charges were soon dropped, as Bombz' family decided not to press charges. Bombz, however, had "sung like a bird" and selfishly ratted out everyone he knew as associates, most of which false, in attempt to victimize himself. Cathy had also done so, in hopes to steer away attention from Drip.

On June 1, 2021, his family were given a 14-day eviction notice, due to their lease being violated because of the kidnapping, and were given until the 15th to turn in their keys or legal action would be taken to remove them. Initially, Squadz had offered him a place to stay, but only him, as Squadz could've cared less if Cathy and Michael were homeless, due to their severe mistreatment of him, but Drip refused to leave them behind, and stayed with Cathy's boyfriend, Dwayne, until a new home was found in Englewood.

### Intended Lawsuit against City of Athens (May 2021)

Immediately after being released, Dripz had to use his brother, Michael's phone, as his own was still confiscated by police. He would contact Squadz and Frosty, demanding they help him sue the Athens Police Department, citing they had 'no right' to arrest him for no reason, and that they stole his cigars (which were left in the jailhouse as contraband and likely confiscated due to him being underage to smoke).

He would also threaten legal action against the news reporters, citing he and his family were falsely accused of being "dangerous online predators" and falsely claimed his family had never been investigated for sex-crimes before. This apparently went nowhere only due to the fact his family couldn't afford a decent attorney, along with his attempted lawsuit against the Hinton family for getting him [Drip] into the mess, and later accusing him of pedophilia.

### Allegations of Pedophilia (2021 - Ongoing)

###### Owen Hinton Kidnapping (May 2021)

Although Dripz has often been the center of pedophilic allegations, this theory was backed in an extreme spike following the May 2021 kidnapping of Owen. It was said by Owen/Bombz that as soon as he'd gotten in the 2001 Ford Focus, he was sitting in the back-middle, in which Drip had crawled into backseat, leaving his spot in the front-passenger, to sit next to Bombz.

Bombz then stated Drip had put his left-hand on his [Bombz] right-thigh, and Bombz pulled away, resulting in Drip aggressively jamming his hand down his pants, fondling the 13 year old's genitals.

Upon arriving into the McMinn Villa, Bombz claimed he'd began trying to convince Dripz to take him into NC, but was refused as a request. He also cited that Dripz and his mother, Cathy, tend to frequently kiss on lips, and Drip often compliments her. During the night time, Dripz supposedly stripped completely naked infront of Bombz in the living room, attempting to sit next to him, but was refused, and Bombz claims the reason he did not call for help, was simple. It was known his own phone had been confiscated prior to the kidnapping, which was used in tracking him into Tennessee. However, Dripz had given him a spare phone, in order to have Bombz communicate with everyone, falsely informing them everything had been okay.

That phone had a password, and whenever it was used, Dripz could see. And, Bombz claims Cathy violently threatened him not to try leaving or going to the police, or she'd "hurt your [Bombz] little ass".

Ultimately, it is concluded that these allegations were untrue, though many assume the Athens Police are actually corrupt, and just simply did not care enough to listen to the claims, and potentially covered up the incident.

##### Other Allegations

Ultimately, Drip has been known to only date younger women, mostly under 16, and boys under 14. He frequently discusses minors in poor light. This was further evident with his September - October 2021 relationship with Alexis Carlisle, who was 15 when he was 19. He often asked her to dress up as a baby, and several pictures of her wearing a pacifier peaked his interests.

Other citations are his past relationship with Kaige, as he'd began dating her when she was 16, but he asserts he favored her undeveloped body primarily, and he is close friends with Clint Lane, a 20 year old who formerly was a longtime friend to the YGN, until allegations of child sexual-abuse came into light in July 2021. Despite the allegations, Drip continued to befriend him, while his other primary YGN allies, Sinnerz and Squadz, would condemn him outright.

## Downfall & Controversies

YGN Dripmasterz was, for a lengthy amount of his life, a feminine, fruity goofball, with a code of honor, where he'd never take advantage of a girl, never cheat and would never pursue loveless sex, even refusing premarital. This all changed in later 2021, when Drip, in a stance to garner attention, would simply betray his own principles, and go on to physically and mentally abuse many women, and often remain a player. He's especially known to be homophobic, racist and severely misogynistic, going on to remain indifferent towards rape, racial profiling, police brutality and other violent acts towards women, and has on multiple occasions been coined a pedophile, and has gotten tickets in the past for supplying minors with alcohol, marijuana and even allowing his then 3 year old nephew vape.

#### Feud with 420Foxy & Lil Soulnexx (Sporadic - Ongoing)

Both Jaime '420Foxy' and Felicia 'Soulnexx' Fox have had strongly negative opinions towards Dripz due to his misogynistic nature, and extreme mistreatment towards Kaige, who is a close friend to the Fox Family. At some point, likely in November 2021, Dripz had suggested to Jaime, then 15, she should make-out with her then 13 year old sister Felicia on FaceTime for him, which lead to an extreme tongue-lashing from Jaime. Drip would respond by claiming she could say what she wants, because he'd probably "kill himself soon".

Dripz went along with this by ignoring Jaime's ongoing messages, sending her into a panic, only to contact YGN Squadz on Xbox asking to game with him, and that if Jaime had asked, to lie and claim he was in the hospital; Squadz quickly ratted him due to his refusal to participate due to Dripz having been strictly in the wrong, and this is believed to have been the end of Dripz and Jaime's friendship.

The three made amends in March 2023 as of now, and it seems they are currently close again, though Soulnexx remained cold shouldered towards Drip due to his past unlike 420Foxy. 420Foxy had ended her friendship with Drip after his March 21, 2023 betrayal.

#### Cheating on YGN Kaigez, and False-Allegations against Kaige (September 2022 - Present)

Dripmasterz, who had returned to North Carolina in May 2022, had met Jessica Russell through a family-friend, who had worked at Carlex in Vonore, Tennessee. Shortly after the failed September, Mississippi trip with Squadz and Sinnerz that had lead to Knucklz' downfall, Dripmasterz would go on to have sexual-relations with Jess, who then began to rub into Kaigez' face that Drip had cheated on her.

When furiously demanding explanation, Dripz had at the time told her it was due to her lack of speaking to him at extremely needy lengths. Later, he'd allow Jessica to verbally abuse Kaige, mocking her for her type-one diabetes condition and calling her a waste of life because of it, and later Drip would falsely announce that the reason he cheated on Kaige wasn't because of the lack of communication, but because Kaigez had assaulted his mother, Cathy, and left her in the hospital. Nobody believed it expect Jess, who potentially helped him create the lie.

Drip would go on to threaten Kaigez' life as a result, and urged his YGN to blacklist her, although under Squadz' direction, he exposed Dripz' lies, and would go on to defend Kaige, not necessarily out of favoritism, but due to him sticking with whomever was in the right. Sinnerz would also defend his half-sister at times, but also retracted it by siding with Drip at the times, claiming Kaige and him have had a rocky childhood together, and that he'd believe Kaige to partake in a physical assault on Dripz' mother.

He asserted to 420Foxy (Jaime) about the ordeal, wanting to break apart the friendship that 420Foxy and Kaige maintained, although it appears to have failed, given few are willing to take Drip seriously on any accusation.

It was also revealed Dripmasterz had cheated on Kaigez in the past; in March 2021, he had fingered and groped his step-sister, Kaitlyn McRae, and between April-May, he had sexual relations with a girl known only as Liz; she was the one who went on to have Dripz' child, born shortly before January 22, 2022. It is unknown if the child is actually his, but he has at times admitted to having a daughter, but also rejecting it towards the public, especially anyone who he feels could rat him out, and jeopardize his child-support evasion.

On December 29, 2022, Dripz' girlfriend would send hate-messages to Kaigez, along with several other exes, such as 420Foxy and Dakota Southerland. He'd then go on to accuse Kaige of forcing him to get Owen, which was his downfall, and falsely blamed her from not protecting him from everyone calling him a pedophile after the kidnapping.

He added that Kaige had lied about her sister's age being 16, but in reality, he knew the girl was 10, and that the girl was underage to be hit on, and simply wanted to spite Kaige.

#### False Diabetic Condition

Around early 2022, Dripmasterz falsely claimed to suffer from type-one diabetes, a condition his ex YGN Kaigez suffers from. This was a ploy to trick others into donating him money to "afford insulin and other medical supplies", as he and his family were 'too poor' to afford any of it. He hasn't made any further claims or mentions of the fake diagnosis since around March 2022, so it's possible he abandoned this sham.

#### Child Support Scandal

Dripmasterz was believed to (but is now considered falsely) have a child residing in Clarksville, Tennessee; Dripz had left the mother, Liz, after the baby was conceived, going on to hide from the pregnant girl, in hopes to evade child-support, despite knowing the horrid living conditions his daughter was put through, and he has done absolutely nothing to atone for those doings.

Sinnerz insists the child can't be his, considering the extreme amounts of hookups Liz partook in prior to Dripz' fling with her, and that if anything, Dripz had no knowledge of the pregnancy. Squadz asserts that Drip frequently reminds his group he had a condom throughout the affair, and rejects any possibility of condom failure.

#### Sexual Relationship with Mother (alleged)

Throughout childhood, Dripmasterz has been linked towards an incestic relationship with his mother, Cathy Mackinlay, who was reportedly the one who took his virginity when he was 14 years old. He's been cited as extremely close to her by his peers, both Lil Paytrain and YGN Bombz outright admitted Dripz kissed his mother on the lips multiple times, while Dripz' brother Michael, refused a sexual relationship with her.

When asked about it, he'd been known to only admit to it towards close peers, although he outright denies it to all in modern days, due to the spread of the rumors being confirmed. He'd stated he only did so because both of them were lonely, and he hated seeing her undergo abuse from men; ironically Dripz held sexism towards females rather than men, despite his mother holding hatred towards virtually everyone.

He's also been known to be a yesman towards her, going as far as buying her multiple cars, refusing to ever drive hers, and being extremely violent towards anyone who badmouths her, even if its simple criticism with her mistreatment towards everyone, and not just a petty insult.

#### False Car Accident Scandal

Dripmasterz, after quitting his job at Honda Power Equipment, had decided to run off back to Tennessee to be with his mother again, and due to Squadz' grandmother chewing him out for his freeloading nature, decided to come up with a car-accident scandal. This plan only concepted after Dripz was pulled over in Mocksville for failure to maintain lane-control, which also lead to a police officer discovering he had no license or insurance, and his 2001 Ford Focus was impounded.

This is when he decided to claim he was in a car-accident, alleging that his tire exploded, sending the car flipping over multiple times, and he had to be resuscitated by police officers, who gave him CPR and had vitals examined. Regardless of the outcome, he had called his mother, Cathy to drive into NC to pick him up.

### Rift with YGN, and Mental-Decline (October 25, 2022 - Present)

Dripmasterz' rift with his YGN brothers soared to an all-time low in October 2022, as the relationship with Kaigez crumbled for the third, and seemingly final time. He refused to go to the Woods of Terror with KGlockz, Sinnerz, Squadz and Tha Ghost, claiming his truck would "never make it", and when asked to carpool, due to him living nearly 3-5 minutes away from Squadz, he continued to refuse, asserting he had no money, and ultimately after a debate, the four, along with Squadz' grandparents, would ride out to the WoT.

Upon returning, it was shown that Dripmasterz had began to engage in a relationship with an undisclosed female, and would soon drift away from bonding with his YGN brothers, even going as far as to not game with them, although in later November, Squadz and KGlockz had convinced him to join them in Rainbow 6 Siege to stream for YouTube. Unfortunately, Drip had absolutely no interest in the game, frequently focusing on his toxic girlfriend, who had selfishly asserted "you [Drip] focus more on the game than me, when you're on" despite Drip having been semi-retired from gaming altogether because of her, and has not even met any YGN since October, as he's told his peers "I'll have to ask my girl for permission to see you".

Because of this, Drip has achieved severe condemning from his Young Grown Nation brethren, even not affiliates have bashed Dripz for his selfish demeanor, as rather than prioritizing a soulmate and focusing on himself, he's in a toxic relationship that KGlockz asserts is "only because he buys her weed, and gives her dick", and has absolutely nothing to do with his childhood friends whom stood by him fiercely throughout his many breakups, his depression, and had always been there for him.

On November 3, 2022, Dripmasterz had visited his friend Jess Russell in order to "bring food to her children", and would facetime Squadz, who was hanging out with Aide4Raidz at home, as Jess lives in Tennessee, and no YGN were willing to visit her due to their resent towards her for the troubles she caused. During the facetime, he was posing with a shotgun, claiming that Josh and Brandi were talking to him, demanding vengeance, and that Frosty's spirit warned him he needed to make a sacrifice, or he [Drip] would go to hell just like he [Frosty] did.

Then, Dripmasterz began to violently discharge the shotgun, shouting out the phrase "don't start with me" over and over again. This terrified Squadz and Raidz, who hung up and attempted to warn Dripz' mother, Cathy, with Raidz backing up what he'd seen, though Cathy simply insisted they were just trying to slander her child, and threatened them to leave her alone.

The situation was more terrifying due to the fact Jess was slamming both boys herself, saying Drip was just joking around, and they both "assume the worst" when it came to Drip, but wouldn't care if it were anyone else. Jess' two children were also home, and she recklessly allowed a mentally-unstable man use a firearm in the same vicinity, in which he could've easily snapped and killed both.

Throughout November, until he and his girlfriend "moved in", he'd been constantly referencing a "doomsday" in the future, and that he'd "make the world '*pay*' for allowing Mexicans and n\*ggers to take all his jobs, bring crime, protests and riots into his town, and all of the women pay for being sluts". He'd also stated that he only cared about white men, as they were the purest form of humanity, though not all were exactly in his words, due to his below average use of vocabulary, but it all added up to that point. He later recanted this, and was "horrified" with what he'd said out of frustrations with his current conditions of unemployment, an abusive relationship, and family troubles.

However, as of now, Dripmasterz remains in the Young Grown Nation, as he never outright betrayed his YGN Family, unlike YGN Knucklz who is credited for the downfall of Drip and the YGN. Their breakup marked Dripz' long-awaited return, in February 2023, and even most Drip haters felt sympathy towards him during that relationship, as upon realizing how mistreated he was, and how he lost everything, it shined he truly didn't deserve what had happened.

###### Skepticism over car-accident

What exposed Dripz of fabricating the car-accident was ultimately due to Frosty's power in the legal system. He was easily able to identify the police records of the traffic stop, matching the exact time, shortly after Drip left Squadz' home, the car in question, and many situations on Dripz' side not adding up. Squadz pointed out there would've been some form of news coverage regarding a car's tire exploding on a highway, overturning multiple times and leaving the driver incapacitated, especially in a small town such as Mocksville. Also, Squadz' grandmother, along with Kaige, pointed out that Dripz' Xbox and flatscreen television would've suffered damage during the accident, and it made no sense he'd have been barred from obtaining his license later until paying for damages to street-lights during his crash, which wouldn't have been his fault.

Nobody in YGN believes Dripmasterz was ever in a car accident, and believe he only pulled this card to garner pity due to his situation of being pulled over, after being scolded for his freeloading at Squadz' place, and find himself a victim and not a laughingstock.

### Breakup & Return to YGN/Victim of (false) Domestic Abuse

On February 21, 2023, Drip and his girlfriend seemingly broke-up, establishing Dripz' return to the YGN, unless the two reconcile. The long-awaiting breakup was caused by his girlfriend and her father suspecting him of possessing methamphetamine, and the father threatening to kill Drip if he got her into that.

She had also gotten him to buy an expensive karat gold necklace for Valentines Day, which did absolutely nothing to fix her mistreatment towards him.

It would later be discovered that Drip had been physically and verbally abused since a week into the relationship, and he'd been struck multiple times. At one point, his girlfriend had yanked his hear, and nearly rendered him unconscious, and Drip called the police as a consequence. He'd later recant his story about the abuse to the police, and state it was just an argument, and he asked if they'd make sure he gets home safely, because he felt in danger.

A few days later, he came back, but didn't eat for three days, as the father had consistently yelled at him if he did. Then, on February 20 (or around the time) it was reported the girl's father pointed a firearm at him, threatened to kill him over allegations of methamphetamine possessions. This snapped Drip into finally leaving her.

The girl had convinced Drip to put his Angier Trail home in her name, and when they broke up, Drip lost the home, and had to move in with his mother somewhere in Kernersville, however, he's been trying to move in with his father in Burlington due to proximity to the good paying factory jobs, specifically in Glen Raven.

Also, his truck was left broken down at his now-ex's home, and it was later retrieved but is currently being sold. It was confirmed on March 24, 2023 that Drip had lied about everything involving the domestic abuse, and the true reason he lied about her, yet consistently getting back together is completely unknown.

### Redemption Arc and Return (February 22, 2023 - March 2023)

After the breakup, Drip made his full-time return to YGN, and was quickly welcomed back by his old friend Squadz, and would hang out with him and Raidz for a while, before Squadz insisted Drip add Kaigez on a new Instagram and they began talking, patching up and the historic friendship between him and Kaigez returned, ending their feud, and Drip, for the first time in his life, apologized and personally admitted cheating, and what he'd done, even going as far as to call himself "retarted" for the abuse he put towards Kaige.

All of the YGN began to "uncondemn" Drip, and have been giving him a chance to make amends and do what's right, as in the end, he always had been family to them, and KGlockz too has been willing to talk with Dripz and "figure some shit out". At the same time, Drip has downloaded FL Studio, began rehearsing and recording to train for a full-time return to music, after a hiatus since November 2022.

Up until then, his SoundCloud was a hub for his then-girlfriend's own music to be uploaded to. Currently, Drip has returned to music, and is still training to transition to FL Studio from Voloco, ending his hiatus that formed on November 16th.

### Betrayal (March 21, 2023)

Drip betrayed the YGN earlier March 9th to get back together with his ex, Kaitlynn, and was with her for a week and abandoned his YGN. After breaking up a second time, he said he was done for good, but later would get back together a third time, this time clashing against his concerned YGN, who now all condemn him once again, and it doesn't seem like Drip will ever be back again.

Drip abandoned his chance at redemption on March 9th, going back to his old, scumbag ways and reportedly got back together with his ex, showing that despite everything she did, he didn't care, and either lied about her, or was willing to get back just for sex, further showing his idiotic personality. He went back to disrespecting Kaige, recanting his remorse for cheating on her and trying to justify it, and continuing to brag about exploiting women for sex. All he obsesses with now is weed and sex, and he has became an ultimate, unhinged ghost of his former self, completely unstable and it is now widely regarded that he's not coming back, as now all of the YGN hate him, and Squadz has expressed interest in making decisions that will determine Dripz' fate in the YGN.

He returned later, but would betray the YGN a third and seemingly final time to get back together with her, showing he will *never* change and faked ***all*** of his apologies and domestic-abuse victimizations with his ex, and used the YGN so he could manipulate and hurt them, most specifically Kaige, as he seemingly never forgave Kaige for his own mistakes he blamed her for, during the failure of their relationship. He was hypocritical, stating she didn't deserve love and the three chances he gave her, when it was both all on him for the failure of their relationship, after he kidnapped Owen the first time, betrayed Squadz and moved back to Tennessee briefly in November 2021, and cheating on her with Jessica Russell in September 2022.

He claimed Kaige didn't deserve love, and deserved to be cheated on because she wouldn't spend every waking second of her life with him, and had to focus on school. This seemingly justified him cheating, in his own eyes, though ironically, he falsely claims that he barely even sees his constant ex, Kaitlyn, because he's busy "working", which proved him a shameless hypocrite once again.

He blocked Squadz on social-media after he called out his hypocrisies, his lies, abandoning them three times, lying to everyone and said he's either with them, or against them. Drip chose his toxic girlfriend over his childhood friends, showing all along, he'd been using them.

He came back a fourth time, asserting he'd been done with her for good now, and even went as far as giving away her address, wishing her dead, calling his family telling them to block her, and seemingly condemning her for releasing crime-scene pictures of the recently slain Lil Soulnexx to her family. He betrayed YGN a week later, on the 13th to get back together with Katelynn a fourth time, not caring about what she'd done and regardless of how abusive and violent he portrayed her, showing he has absolutely no moral compass, and sex is all that matters to him.

This however, ultimately was his undoing, as the YGN turned on him severely after realizing not only did he betray them four times (although after the second, it became predictable, the principle behind the fourth time was what mattered) but he associated with Katelynn, who had crime-scene photos of Lil Soulnexx's body following the shooting, and proceeded to send it around the internet, including a direct send to the victim's family and friends with taunting messages, going as far as to have it personally sent to even ten year old Amy Fox on Discord.

Not only do YGN want Katelynn dead, but want to severely beat Drip down and some do want him dead, he became vilified by all of his childhood friends, and it's unclear as to his future purpose. He will not change, and will be considered a permanent menace. Despite this. he is still in YGN.

## Personality

Throughout his youth, Dripz was cold, resentful towards life, and always "depressed". The depression started overwhelming him at the age of 14, when he began to frustrate over his living conditions, though in light of it, towards his squad, he was still upbeat and happy-go-lucky for a majority of his life. He was known for at one time, singing 'Tiptoe through the Tulips' by Tiny Tim in a falsetto voice, wearing a 'Kiss the Cook' apron, and shaking his bottom while making a sandwich. Even at times, he'd been known to spot his friends with food, bought Squadz a bicycle, even going as far as to drive him and Sinnerz to Mississippi just to see Knucklz and potentially bring her home.

He'd often try his best to be a good friend, despite his horrid upbringing, but would find himself too weak to continue the fight, and eventually fall under his own self-interests and negative traits.

Ultimately, his primary moral growing up was to "Never cheat. Never use a woman for sex, and never break a girl's heart." This moral would be betrayed in his later years, ultimately coining him a shameless hypocrite by his peers.

During his relationship with Kaigez, he was said to be "completely different" prior to the Owen Hinton Scandal. He would often fall asleep on call with her, and cry during romantic movies. Towards his friends, he'd be fiercely loyal, and easy to work with, and often coined the "clown of the group" as he'd often entertain his peers with his feminine personality, his high-pitched one liners, playfully exaggerated whining and pouting, and other slapstick and satire doings.

Behind the mask, however, it is believed Drip genuinely was always out for himself, and simply put on a fake-face to hide away his true personalities, although some argue he simply snapped after the false pedophilia allegations, the breakup with Kaige, and murder of his girlfriend, Brandi. He'd later been known, after the first breakup with Kaige in July, to be excessively cruel, passive-aggressive, disinterested in practically anything, and grew towards a more womanizing approach, having been known to date women solely for sex, regardless of their own interests, and would "give it all" immediately. And at points, he was known be slimy and treacherous, going as far as to steal KGlockz' girlfriend away, with no regards to taking his childhood friend's girlfriend and the pain it caused him.

He's also known to be a sloucher, and vastly unstable, as he's never held onto a job for over a year, nor a relationship, commitment issues and the ability to freeload from his mother have been in his own interests, though it's debated that the only reason he ever works, is because his mother is reckless, selfish and unable to provide for any of her children, and he worked solely to pay for his own food and essentials.

And ultimately, while he's known to be quiet, sly and extremely selfish, he's rarely ever acted out of true malice, and almost never is openly hostile; this contradicts him from Paytrain, who was flat out abusive and openly aggressive, while Drip remains quiet, passive-aggressive and swoops in to catch whatever peaks his best interests, with little regards for others. He is quick to anger when he is openly mocked; his ultimate sensitive topics being his mother, height, and especially his criminal record.

Another trait he possesses, is stubborn and entitlement. He'll refuse to admit he's wrong, and whatever he finds himself believing, be it conspiracy or some random theory, he insists it's the truth, regardless of true facts presented. He also refuses to achnowledge the low quality of his music, and refuses coaching attempts or constructive criticism, insisting himself as a great artist.

And in his later years, he's been at his worst, going as far as to become physically and especially verbally abusive towards Kaigez, cheating on her, allowing the prejudiced, immature bully Jess Russell to torment the girl over her diabetes condition, and the fact she [Jess] had slept with her boyfriend, bragging about the affair. Drip is an obsessed sex-addict and woman abuser, going as far as having intercourse with his mother, Cathy, with Jess despite her ten year age gap, having two children and a husband, and the constant times he's betrayed YGN for Katelynn.

In a conclusion, Squadz, Sinnerz and Aide4Raidz were for a while, the only YGN who ultimately bonded with Dripz, as KGlockz is believed to only tolerate his presence when brought around by the aforementioned, Kaigez despised him ultimately (for a while) because of his infidelity and unfaithfulness, along with severe emotional abuse, and Knucklz ultimately was willing to abandon him, along with Squadz and Sinnerz, in the Mississippi scandal, which shattered their friendship. Squadz and Sinnerz consider Dripz like a brother, and both have held extremely high opinions of him, even attempting to defend him and save him from himself at many points. Raidz is close with him, but is closer with the two previously mentioned.

He's well known for being unkempt, having been known to eat dog food, rarely shower and has a very sloppy personality.

## Trivia

* It should be noted that Dripmasterz is the *only* member of Young Grown Nation to have no official "right hand man", for unspecified reasons. Drip is Squadz' right-hand, while Sinnerz is another one of Squadz' two lead underlings, with the latter also having his own second in command, YGN Sneekz, while KGlockz has KSlayez and Knucklz had Julz/Hannah.
	+ Arguably, Thomas G, aka WrldTG, was often considered such, and so did Paytrain, though all of whom seeming to be under his authority were far more independent and "powerful" in their own direction against Drip, who was never able to hold either on his leash, and easily found himself outwitted by them, leaving it as if Drip was never able to call a shot.

* Dripmasterz is also the *only* one in YGN who is actively homophobic; this trait was at one point shared with YGN KGlockz, although KGlockz grew out of the prejudice in his later years, Dripz has mentioned he'd "beat his kids straight" if they "were a queer". No YGN shared racism or misogynistic traits, however.
	+ Drip was thought to have a child, but it was later confirmed to have never been his.
* Dripmasterz' father, Curtis, is a truck-driver for J.B Hunt. During his youth, he'd often cruise along with him during the summers.
* His favorite game is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019).
* Throughout childhood, he was nicknamed 'Ferret' due to his short, skinny stature, long hair, hunchback, and chill, laidback personality.
* Out of all the Young Grown Nation, he is closest to YGN Squadz, as the two grew up together like genuine brothers, with Lil Frosty being the father figure to both of them.
	+ During their youth, they had the closest friendship, though Squadz was (nearly) closer to KGlockz than Dripmasterz. This was also further enhanced with Drip being a roommate of Squadz from October 24 - November 9, 2021.
* Dripmasterz has mentioned Juice WRLD and Lil Uzi Vert are his favorite rappers. He also claimed to have met Juice WRLD at a Walmart in Greensboro in 2018.
* His first car was the red, 2001 Ford Focus, owned from late April 2021 - November 9, 2021. Although he had purchased a vehicle prior to this one, that was given to his mother, and this car was his own means of transport. The Ford Focus was impounded during his November 9, 2021 return to Tennessee, and has not been retrieved as of December 2022.
* He, YGN Squadz and Madd Nightmare all worked at Honda Power Equipment in Swepsonville, with Drip working there throughout his return to NC; HPE was intended to be his long-term employment to fund both his return to North Carolina, and his music career, as him and Squadz intended to get an apartment together, which would've been where both Kaige and Knucklz moved to.
	+ Ultimately, Drip did not physically work with either Squadz or Nightmare; Dripz worked in the main building installing transmissions for the lawnmowers, Squadz worked in a separate building onsite packaging snowblowers, and Nightmare worked in the die-cast molding department, though Nightmare ended up in Squadz' department in February 2022 after the die-cast was shuttered, neither worked with Drip due to him having left for Tennessee in November when Squadz was still in training, and Nightmare began working there in December.
* Drip has worked for numerous other companies in NC, though he's always had trouble holding down employment, both due to his lack of a HS Diploma/GED and his spontaneous, hard to stimulate interests. He's worked for Permatech, from March 15 - 18, 2021 (his go-to after his first jail release), applied to Stericycle, only to abandon the job during training in favor of HPE, and has expressed in working for Atlantic Custom Containers as his current go-to, if things do not work out at Novaflex.
	+ He, Squadz, Bombz, Paytrain and Bleak all shared interest in working for Armacell LLC in Mebane, North Carolina, though none of which ended up working for the highly shady and picky business.
	+ Drip currently works at CT Nassau, as a forklift driver and warehouse associate.
* He dropped out of high-school in 2018, at Graham High School.
* Dripmasterz is the *second* shortest of the YGN, at around 5'4-5'7 in height. The shortest is Knucklz, at 5'2, and the tallest is Squadz, at 5'10.
	+ His height is a sensitive topic for him, and he's known to respond aggressively if his short stature is pointed out.
	+ Furthermore, he's the lightest of the YGN, at around 107lbs on average. Squadz ironically is the second lightest, at 124lbs, with KGlockz the heaviest at around 180lbs.
* He is a fan of the hit sitcom 'Rick and Morty', he and Squadz would often watch it together in the living room together whenever he stayed with Squadz.
* Drip was at one point the wingman of Sinnerz, who got him his first girlfriend in 2017.
* His childhood nickname was 'Ferret', because of his extremely short, skinny and hunch-back appearance, along with his long hair and laidback personality. Classmates of Drip would often refer to him as 'Ferret' rather than Matthew, although the Ferret nickname has drifted away as years progressed, and little still refer to him as such.
* Unlike the majority of his YGN peers, Dripmasterz is not picky with restaurants, and is willing to eat anywhere either on date-night, hanging out with his peers, or just to satisfy hunger in general.
	+ He has, however, been known to voice distaste towards Hardee's and KFC, but has been observed eating at such restaurants regardless.
* Drip is almost *always* the driver/chauffeur when behind YGN activities.
* He is the only YGN with an active criminal-record; having been previously investigated for sex-crimes, hate-crimes, murder, pedophilia, rape, indecent liberties, domestic-abuse, charged with kidnapping, and previously convicted for two burglaries in the past, and also has an active restraining order against him.
	+ Although Madd Nightmare, 420Foxy, Lil Soulnexx and Lil Paytrain hold a criminal record, they're not in the prime of YGN, given they don't hold the bumper in their name, despite having been signed off on YGN.
	+ Knucklz had shared a criminal-record with Dripmasterz, and similarly, her previous convictions were on her juvenile record, she had previously spent time in juvenile detention for aggrevated-assault, and also on atleast five occasions, time in a mental-institute for her psychotic tendencies. She is not listed here, given her exile from YGN.
	+ His mother, Cathy, has an extremely long history of DUI's, domestic-abuse, possession of methamphetamine, crack-cocaine, and heroin, among other forms of domestic abuse.
