A former prison inmate who chased fame, money, drugs, and women says he was radically changed during an encounter with the Holy Spirit in his jail cell that changed his “fate from thug life to Christ.”
John Robert Hill Jr. is better known by his one million online followers as Holy Gabbana.
The 27-year-old recently appeared on the God Behind Bars podcast to share how God radically changed his life while he served time in prison for hit-and-run charges, gun charges, and narcotics possession.
Gabbana told the ministry he turned his reckless behavior of vandalism, theft, and robbery as a teen into a budding social media gig that boasted five million followers at the time.
“All you got to do to make this much money is to be a fool and act reckless…I could do that,” he recalled. “I started being a nut.”
Gabbana’s content of vandalism, robbing stores, and jumping on people’s cars began to go viral, granting him fame and recognition among celebrities, but it also led him to a dark place.
“I didn’t blow up with a team. I didn’t blow up with a manager. I blew up from the streets,” he said.
