Kwame Khalil Brown[1] (born July 4, 1993), better known by his stage name Foogiano, is an American rapper from Greensboro, Georgia, and is signed to Gucci Mane's record label 1017 Records.[citation needed] He is best known for his track "Molly", which received a remix with DaBaby. He released his debut studio album, Gutta Baby, on November 26, 2020.

Early life[]

Brown was born in Greensboro, Georgia.[2]

Career[]

Brown gained recognition with his single "Molly", which later received a remix with fellow rapper DaBaby in September 2020.[3] He released his debut studio album, Gutta Baby, on November 26, 2020. The album debuted and peaked at number one on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, marking Brown's first charting project.[4]

Controversies[]

In March 2021, while in jail, singer Trey Songz posted pictures of Brown's girlfriend, rapper Renni Rucci. Brown responded by threatening to attack Trey once he got out of jail.[5]

Legal issues[]

In 2013, Brown was arrested on burglary and robbery charges and was sentenced in 2014, serving three years in jail before getting out.[6][7]

In September 2020, Brown and label CEO Gucci Mane were named in a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from a shooting that occurred in July of that year, which left two people dead.[8][9]

In December 2020, Brown was arrested for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. On a December 14 hearing, a judge set his bail at $50,000, with the requirements that he wear an ankle monitor and stay inside the state of Georgia. However, Brown burned off his ankle monitor, leading to a warrant being issued for his arrest.[10] In March 2021, Brown was arrested by federal agents in Memphis, Tennessee, after being on the run for three months.[11][12] In May 2021, Brown was sentenced to five years in prison on charges related to his previous charges.[13]

Personal life[]

Brown is currently in a relationship with fellow rapper, Renni Rucci.[14]
