Rapper Mad Clown, also known by his alias Mommy Son, divorced his wife last year, his agency Sameside Company said Friday.

“Last year, Mad Clown and his non-celebrity wife finished the divorce process by mutual agreement. His ex-wife has custody of his son.”

The agency did not state a reason for the divorce.

Mad Clown, whose given name is Cho Dong-rim, debuted in 2008 with the EP “Luv Sickeness.” His breakthrough was the duet song with singer Soyou, previously a member of disbanded girl group Sistar. His hit songs include “Sour Grapes” (2015), “Lost Without You” (2017), “Butterfly” (2018) and “I Miss You” (2021).

Mommy Son is a persona of the rapper that he adopted in 2018, when he appeared on the seventh season of Mnet’s rap competition show “Show Me The Money.” He wears a pink ski mask to conceal his face entirely.

He reportedly tied the knot in 2016 and the former couple has one child together.
