[edit] Goldie Lookin Chain
Several Goldie Lookin Chain songs have been written about him. These include "The Maggot" (from Greatest Hits); based on the tune of "You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two" from the musical Oliver! and "Maneater" by Hall & Oates together with a Steeleye Span hook. "The Maggot" also namechecks Fagin, Dick Turpin, Penelope Keith and Kylie Minogue and features fellow GLC member Mystikal.
Another song, "Maggot at Midnight" (from Safe as Fuck), namechecks Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Nosferatu, The show The Crystal Maze, Michael Jackson and Jackson's song "Thriller" and features a sample from the television show 'Danger Mouse'. Another short track he features on is called "Maggot's Stand-Up" where Maggot does a short stand-up comic style set; it mostly features scatological references.
Maggot also identifies himself as The Hip Hop Vampire, which is one of his aliases. He also claims to have done a wheelie on a Penny Farthing (Big Wheel Up!).
[edit] Origin of his nickname
He acquired his nickname after friends decided that as a child he looked like a maggot while wearing his pink puffer jacket.
[edit] Celebrity Big Brother
He appeared in the fourth series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2006, finishing third, trailing Michael Barrymore and eventual winner Chantelle Houghton. He was noted by viewers for not taking any particular side in any of the arguments that took place.
