Early life


Givens was born on March 29, 1996, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.[1] 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.[2]


Career


Givens gained recognition after the release of his July 2018 single "Oouuh".[1] 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.[3] In April 2020, he released his debut studio album Most Hated, which peaked at number 110 on the Billboard 200.[4] On September 25, 2020, he released a new project titled In the Name of Gee, which peaked at number 40 on the Billboard 200.[5]



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.[6] He gets off parole in 2023.

On July 22, 2021, 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.


Personal life


Givens identifies as spiritual but not religious, although he believes in a God. He does not have any children, but looks after Gee Money's children after Gee was murdered in Late 2017.[7][8]
