The Little Havana based graffiti artist starting as a child, whose tag is pretty much all over Miami, and artworks in many local homes. He is a graffiti cult leader who attracts young artists across the country mainly through Instagram & even changes other's opinion on Graffiti. Another mix to his infamousy is being a top cuvie connection, blacking out in house parties, jacking off in classrooms, being friends with so many innocent everyday people to crooked wannabe trapstars. The variations of his tag is a result of being an illiterate retard, all jokes aside. Rumor has it he fucked Cardi B, gave most of the SPED girls in multiple high-schools syphilis from a hooker in Calle Ocho, and that Chief Keef helps cover the lack of child support from his MIA dad (Pun not intended). His main inspiration is insomnia & subway surfers, and if graf won't work in the long run he will become a porn star.
Store owner: Dammit! Somebody vandalized my store last night! I can't even fucking read this stupid jit's shit.
Employee: OH, Aoe? That's that paint sniffing porn addicted troglodyte off the block. You can try to paint over it, but he will too.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
