His father operated as a firefighter in New York City who died in duty after the September 11 attacks. The loss had an impact on Davidson, who was seven years old at the time. According to The New York Times, it was “overpowering” and he eventually behaved badly in school due to his experience. He plucked his hair out till he was completely bald. Later in an interview on the morning radio show The Breakfast Club in October 2016, Davidson discussed his childhood trauma of suicide and how Kid Cudi’s music saved his life.
At the age of 16, Davidson tried standup comedy for the first time in a Staten Island bowling alley, but he got his the first onscreen appearance at the age of 19 in the third episode of MTV-produced show ‘Failosophy’. In 2013 he also appeared in ‘PDA and Moms‘, ‘Guy Code‘, ‘Gotham Comedy Live‘ and ‘Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Out‘.
