Career
Robert Paulson based his material on his life experiences, including his drug addictions.[6] In addition to the moniker "Cadalack Ron", he also performed under the monikers "The Methadone Don" and "Black Tar Rap Star", alluding to his dependency.[2] In 2014, he attracted negative publicity for footage in which he appeared to inject himself with drugs during a rap battle.[7] His appearance in that battle was described by Peter Cashmore of The Guardian as having "gone from looking like Kid Rock, to looking like a kid on rock".[8] Paulson later confirmed that he had only injected himself with Gatorade.[9] In a 2015 interview, he claimed to be sober, and to have had a phase of ejaculating blood after giving up steroids.[10] During that time, he performed under the moniker "Caddy 3.0".[11]
