    Fredrick Dewon Thomas Givens II (born March 29, 1996), known professionally as Fredo Bang, is an American rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He is best known for his 2020 single "Top" (remixed featuring Lil Durk), which received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His debut studio album, Most Hated (2020) was released through Se Lavi Productions and Def Jam Recordings, and executive produced by Moneybagg Yo.[1]

    Early life

    [edit]

    Givens was born on March 29, 1996, and raised on the south side of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.[2] Givens grew up close to rappers Krazy Trey and Da Real Gee Money, both of whom were eventual victims of homicide in 2014 and 2017 respectively.[3]

    Career

    [edit]

    Givens started his career in early 2015 when him, Blvd Mel, Gee Money, and YMM Captain released the song “iPhone 6,” which gained attention in the Baton Rouge rap scene.[4]

    Givens gained mainstream recognition after the release of his July 2018 single "Oouuh".[2] His highest viewed videos are "Top", "Father", Oouuh" and "Trust Issues" which all have reached over 20 million views on YouTube.

    In January 2020, he was featured on Moneybagg Yo's track "Spin on Em", which received a music video in May 2020. The record was produced by Fredo Bang's go-to producers and close affiliates, DJ Chose and Hardbody B-Eazy.[5] In April 2020, he released his debut studio album Most Hated, which peaked at number 110 on the Billboard 200.[6] On September 25, 2020, he released a new project titled In the Name of Gee, which peaked at number 40 on the Billboard 200.[7]

    Personal life

    [edit]

    Givens identifies as spiritual but not religious, although he believes in a God. He has one biological child with Annisaa Buffins and looks after Gee Money's children after Gee was murdered in Late 2017.[8][9]

    [edit]

    In January 2016, Givens was arrested on charges of attempted second degree murder. He served two years in jail for the charge before being released in 2018.[10] He got off parole in 2023.

    On July 22, 2020, Givens was arrested again in Miami on a fugitive warrant out of Louisiana. He was arrested a day after his fellow Top Boy Gorilla artist Lit Yoshi, who was arrested on attempted murder charges.
