Fredo Santana was in it since a shorty. Fredo was pretty much an OG by the time he reached his teen years. Fredo revealed on Twitter he was only 17 years old when he got his face inked with his infamous tats.

Fredo Santana caught his first case at 12. Fredo posted a photograph of his mug shot as a pre-teen on IG.

“My first mug shot when I caught my first case in 2002 I was 12 been doing this street shit,” he wrote.

Fredo was arrested for allegedly kicking down a bus door on Halloween, according Village Voice.

This isn’t the only glimpse of Fredo at a younger age.

Footage surfaced online showing Fredo thugging with Black Disciple gang members in his hometown of Chicago.

Fredo who appears to be in his early teens in the footage is a stark contrast from his present tattooed self.

In the footage, Fredo referred to himself as the “original Santana from Chicago.” Fredo also referred to his crew as “Dip Set.”

To go even further back, Fredo Santana posted a photo to IG of himself as a baby cradled by his father.

“#TBT me and my pops this when I feel in love wit gunz I guess this y I love gunz so much lol,” he wrote on the caption of the photo.
