Lin-Manuel Miranda Reveals Rapper Immortal Technique Bullied Him in School

Lin-Manuel Miranda revealed that his high school bully is now a famous political rapper named Immortal Technique.

“I was the kid who figured out who he was in the school play,” the 36-year-old Hamilton creator said on Marc Maron‘s WTF podcast. “Even kids who were the bullies would occasionally audition.” He then revealed that Immortal Technique, then called Felipe Coronel, was particularly horrible to some children.

“He was a school bully. He terrorized kids, he would throw them in the garbage. I got thrown in the garbage by him,” Lin added, saying he “scared the s�” out of us…it’s been wonderful to watch him grow up and find a political outlet for that anger.”
