Phillip Nickolas Katsabanis (born June 17, 1995), better known by his stage name Stitches, is an American hip hop recording artist from Miami, Florida. He is known for the song “Brick In Yo Face”. Prior to adopting the name Stitches, he was known as Lil Phil. Stitches' debut album was released on November 24, 2015, entitled For Drug Dealers Only.
He released his first mixtape called “No Snitching Is My Statement” in 2014, followed by a debut album in 2015, entitled For Drug Dealers Only. The rapper has received criticism for ending his shows early and in 2014, Katsabanis's wife reportedly ended a concert early due to the singer providing audience members with drugs.
Phillip Nickolas Katsabanis was born on June 17, 1995 in Miami, Florida to Esther and Alexander Katsabanis, who divorced when Stitches was one year old, and is of Cuban and Greek descent. The singer has claimed that he began selling drugs and guns to support himself after moving to South Beach, Florida from Miami, a claim that has been backed up by his siblings. Katsabanis is married and has three children. In January 2016, news outlets reported he had been evicted from the home he was renting due to several months late rent totaling over $1000.
On January 25, 2017, Katsabanis was arrested in Miami on felony drug, and gun possession charges. When police stopped him while he was still in the car, he handed the officer a joint, and denied there were any weapons in the vehicle. Upon searching the vehicle, officers found a waterpistol, one painkiller and a mason jar full of baking soda in the back seat.
