Arimus was born in Tampa, Florida on May 7, 1979 to Johnnye Marshall Dixon and Charles Dixon, Jr. At an early age, Arimus accepted Christ and was baptized at New Salem Primitive Baptist Church. During his younger years, he and Demetrius were inseparable throughout his time with his maternal grandparents and aunt, Brenda. They were very loveable, curious and full of excitement.

He attended Saint Petersburg, Jr. College, Clearwater, FL and Blinn College, College Station, TX. He was employed as a Security Manager at the Lodge Restaurant & Lounge in Tampa, FL.
