The 20-year-old rapper, born Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, hasn’t had an entirely easy road.

He faced homelessness, provided for his mother, and watched two of the closest people outside of his blood family (his friend Saik and mentor Juice Wrld, whose drug overdose he bore witness to in 2019) die, all before he turned 18.

But The Kid Laroi, who makes his Tampa Bay debut this weekend, presses on anyway, as seen in his new documentary “Kids Are Growing Up,” which depicts his current mental health, well-being, and even a few extra tidbits of his upbringing in Australia.

Tickets to see The Kid Laroi, Glaive, and Chase Shakur play Tampa's Yuengling Center on Sunday, June 9 are still available, and start at $26.75.
