Bryon Anthony McCane II was born inColumbus, Ohio. In 1981, four-year-old McCane and his two sisters were abducted by their mother's ex-husband while their mother was at work and held captive for over two years.[2] McCane recalls that at first, he did not know he had been kidnapped and was made to believe that his mother and grandmother were dead. During the time they were abducted, he and his sisters lived in many homes, apartments, cars, and motels, all in northernOklahoma. He and his sisters were often beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. In 1983, the "family" had been living on theKaw Indian Reservation inKaw, Oklahoma, for about a year and a half. A babysitter saw his photo at the end of the made-for-TV filmAdam about the producer and creator ofAmerica's Most Wanted,John Walsh's son's abduction, and called the police, resulting in his and his sisters' return to their family.[3]
When he was 13, McCane began living with his oldest sister at her home nearCleveland, Ohio. During this period, he metLayzie Bone,Krayzie Bone,Wish Bone andFlesh-n-Bone. McCane started in hip-hop as a founding member of the group Bone Enterpri$e, which was formed in 1992. The group was noticed by one of the founders of the rap groupN.W.A,Eazy-E, who modified the group's name to Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony.
In 2002, McCane appeared on theFOX seriesAmerica's Most Wanted (hosted by John Walsh, Adam's father)[4] and he revealed his abusive childhood and molestation. McCane also wrote and performed a song, "A.M.W.", on the show in which he thanks Walsh and encourages abused children to come forward.[5]
