Krizz Kaliko Featured in INK Magazine!
Krizz Kaliko planned to kill his future wife and himself.
His tortured life had unmercifully reached a breaking point when Crystal Matthews, then 19, walked away from their three-year relationship.
The skin disease vitiligo had scarred his face, hands and upper body with blotches of pink skin since he was 2 years old and did even worse damage to his self-esteem. A criminal stepfather, neighborhood bullies and look-at-the-monster stares from confused adults and children inflicted physical and mental pain.
Cancer took his father when Krizz was 15. In the same year, his sister lay in a coma following a car accident.
