He was born as Richard Morales Jr in El Paso, Texas, the United States of America, on the 18th of July 1979 under the horoscope sign of Cancer. His nationality is irrefutably American and his ethnicity is definitely mixed.

When he got to the age of 10, his parents’ marriage came to an end through a divorce which split the family into two. His dad returned to his Puerto Rican roots while Gunplay relocated with his mum and brother to Carol City, South Florida.

The next year, he began experimenting with hard drugs and his preferred substance was cocaine. According to Gunplay, his weekly drug budget ranged from $600-$700 and after his successful record deal, the money he spent on the substance increased to thousands on a weekly basis.
