Kane Brown<\/strong> is a rising star in the country music world, but his path to success was filled with obstacles growing up. He has often spoken about dealing with homelessness, racism and the separation of his parents<\/a> due to his father being in prison. While Kane has spoken fondly of being raised by his single mom, Tabatha Brown<\/strong>, for much of his childhood, he has also gotten candid about enduring abuse from his stepfather.<\/p>\n Kane was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on October 21, 1991, and raised in both Chattanooga and rural northwest Georgia. His mom, Tabatha, raised Kane for much of his childhood with help from his grandmother, and the \u201cOne Thing Right\u201d singer has opened up about how grateful he is.<\/p>\n \u201cMy mom worked multiple jobs and my nana truly was a sheriff in my town,\u201d he once told CMT<\/em>. \u201cTo be able to honor them is incredible because no matter how much we struggled, my mom and nana never let me see it. They sheltered me from any problems and I appreciate them for that.\u201d<\/p>\n Kane honored his mom and grandmother in the music video for his 2018 song \u201cGood as You.\u201d Much like the singer\u2019s real life, the video depicts a young boy who lives with his mother and grandma. Though the family struggles with money, their love for each other is strong, and the boy\u2019s admiration for the women in his life is clear.<\/p>\n The identity of Kane\u2019s father, who has been incarcerated since 1996, is not known. However, The X Factor<\/em> alum has opened up about how his father being in prison affected his childhood.<\/p>\n For starters, Kane went years without knowing that he was multiracial. His mom is white and his dad is African-American and Cherokee, but because he wasn\u2019t raised by his father, Kane didn\u2019t know about that side of his identity until he was 7 or 8 years old.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought I was full white, which honestly, I can\u2019t even really say because I didn\u2019t see colors. I found out that I was biracial and I still wasn\u2019t thinking anything of it,\u201d he told People<\/em><\/a> in 2018. \u201cBut then I started getting called the N-word. I didn\u2019t even know what it meant, and that\u2019s when it started affecting me. I got in fights over it when I was little.\u201d<\/p>\n Though Kane was estranged from his dad for most of his childhood and struggled with not having a steady father figure, he did connect with his father as an adult. \u201cHe\u2019s a drummer, which I didn\u2019t even know. He brags about me and talks about how good he is on the drums. I always joke with him and say that I\u2019m going to hire him when he gets out,\u201d he told Billboard<\/em><\/a> in 2018.<\/p>\n Tabatha remarried another man during Kane\u2019s childhood, but he allegedly became extremely abusive. The ACM Award winner claimed that his stepfather, whose identity has not been revealed, nearly beat him to death in his song \u201cLearning.\u201d The man was later sent to prison after Kane\u2019s grandmother came to his rescue, according to the track.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was six years old, I kinda wet the bed\/ My stepdad came in and nearly beat me to death\/ All bruised and broken, I was lonely and scared\/ My mom, she was working, there was nobody there\/ My nana showed up, she was super protective\/ Had a tear in her eye, she saw how I was neglected\/ The crazy part about it, she\u2019s a straight-up detective\/ But you never would\u2019ve guessed it, how she\u2019d cook you a breakfast\/ Three weeks later, she had him locked in a cell,\u201d the lyrics read.<\/p>\n \u201cHad to grow up a lot faster than a normal person \u2026 Just, you know, moving around a lot. And then no father figure. Child abuse,\u201d Kane told CBS<\/em><\/a> in 2022. \u201cOne of my stepdads for my punishment shaved my head bald and put aftershave on me. Made me, like, physically eat half a bar of soap, not just bite into it.\u201d<\/p>\n If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWho Is Kane Brown\u2019s Mom, Tabatha Brown?<\/h2>\n
