This is Papoose
Before we dive into more intimate aspects of his life and talk about them, it is important that we do a review of his early years. He was born with the name Shamele Mackie, but over the years he changed his stage name to the one we know him by today. The truth is that very little is known about who his parents are, but information suggests that he is the son of Irene Mackie and Gregory Hudgens.
It was his grandmother Vivian who decided to change his name to Papoose, which means a Native American baby. This is because, as a child, he resembled one of them. A little later, when he embarked on his musical career, he wanted to go ahead with that same name.
