Lil Xan explains getting his mom's name 'Candy' tattooed on his face at 18 before face tattoos were trendy, and how family members who once wrote him off now try to reconnect now that he has money and fame.
- Got his mom's name "Candy" tattooed on his face to soften the blow of getting inked.
- His mom is still pissed about the face tattoo and told him he'd have to do something crazy to make up for it.
- Walking into a job interview with "Candy" on your cheeks makes it hard to get hired.
- Started making music thinking it was cool, then it actually worked out and he realized dreams can happen.
- Tim notes he's talented and tells people to shut up and take their dreams seriously instead of just talking about them.
- When success started, family members and hangers-on came crawling back into his life wanting to reconnect.
- He was the black sheep of his extended family even before fame, so he pushed them all away with a stick.
- He came up really poor, which shaped how he dealt with relatives suddenly trying to get close after he made it.
