Foogiano

Kwame Khalil Brown (born July 4, 1993), better known by his stage name Foogiano, is an American rapper. He signed with Gucci Mane's record label 1017 Records in 2020, and is best known for his single "Molly (Baby Mama)" (remixed featuring DaBaby), which released in May of that year. His debut studio album, Gutta Baby was released the following November.

Early life and career Brown was born in Greensboro, Georgia. He gained recognition for his single "Molly", which spawned a remix featuring North Carolina–based rapper DaBaby in September 2020. After signing with Gucci Mane's 1017 Records, he released his debut studio album, Gutta Baby, on November 26, 2020. It debuted atop Billboards Heatseekers Albums chart.

He grew up listening to T.I., Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane. His favorite rapper is Drake.

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.

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.

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. In March 2021, Brown was arrested by federal agents in Memphis, Tennessee, after being on the run for three months. In May 2021, Brown was sentenced to five years in prison on charges related to his previous charges.

Personal life Brown was in a relationship with fellow rapper, Renni Rucci.
