Lil Dicky On How He Overcame Rare Penile Disorder

Lil Dicky is certainly a popular rapper in the Hip-Hop world and has also overcome adversities in his life, including with his own body. The rapper also recently wrapped up the second season of his show Dave.

While speaking to Distractify, the rapper talked about the insecurity issues he had with his image as a child and also how the rapper overcame a rare penile disorder.

“I was very self-conscious about so many things. “When I was born, I had surgery on my penis. So, from a very young age, body trauma and physical insecurity has been, like, top of my mind. I would avoid hanging out with girls because I was afraid my penis was too weird. Every step of the way it was the total top of my mind.”

When the rapper turned 25, he felt secure with himself and decided to love himself and not be insecure about his body. The rapper was born with hypospadias, which by definition means the urethra is underneath the penis rather than the tip.

 “I feel like it only made me happier. Life is so short. I worry about so much all the time, so just having that huge amount of body insecurity taken off of that list of worries is just a huge weight and it’s allowed me to just live my life in a happier way.”

Season two of Dave stars Lil Dicky, GaTa, Andrew Santino and Taylor Misiak and is set to release on FXX/Hulu later in the year.
