Hotboii

Javarri Latre Walker (born June 13, 2000), known professionally as Hotboii (often stylized as or ), is an American rapper and singer from Orlando, Florida. His 2020 single, "Don't Need Time", received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and spawned a remix featuring American rapper Lil Baby. He signed with Geffen Records, Interscope Records and Rebel Music, in conjunction with Hitmaker Music Group and 22 Entertainment to release three studio albums: Double O Baby, Life of a Hotboii (2021), and Blinded by Death (2022)—the latter of which entered the Billboard 200. He listened to artists such as Lil Wayne, Rich Homie Quan and Kodak Black. He began rapping at the age of seven and began releasing music in 2016 with the help of his mother, beginning by uploading music onto SoundCloud and YouTube.

Walker served two years in a juvenile detention program from 2016 to 2018 for breaking and entering. In 2019, he released the single "YG's", a "detailed walk through [his] experiences and survival tactics in the street" that quickly gained traction. He began 2020 by securing features from Stunna 4 Vegas ("4PF Like Baby") and Rylo Rodriguez ("Sick of Cell") before releasing his breakout single "Don't Need Time" on April 27. "Don't Need Time" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in April 2021 and Platinum in July 2022.

Hotboii released his first mixtape, Kut Da Fan On, on May 22, 2020. Pitchfork noted how he "came into his own by polishing his blend of painful street tales and witty punchlines" on the project, while Audiomack called it "41 hyper-realistic and melodic minutes of contemporary hip-hop goodness." It contained guest features from Lil Mosey, Toosii and Pooh Shiesty. Expanding on the theme from his previous project, songs such as "Police Brutality", "Malcolm X" and "Problems (No Rights)" addressed social issues which faced the African-American community, in context of that year's George Floyd protests and specifically his friend Salaythis Melvin's killing by police. Elevator Mag praised his "masterful flow and soul-baring storytelling" on the album.

Following the February 2021 release of "Fuck Shit", Hotboii returned on May 28 with the single and music video for "Nobody Special", featuring Future. Hotboii was scheduled to perform at Rolling Loud Miami from July 23 to 25, 2021.

On July 29, 2022, Hotboii released his third studio album, Blinded by Death. It contained higher-profile guest appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, Big30, and Kodak Black, with "Nobody Special" serving as its lead single. The album debuted at number 89 on the Billboard 200, marking his first project to appear on mainstream music charts. Shortly after its release, he was incarcerated once more due to legal circumstances which remain unbeknownst to the public. While on bail, in October of the following year, he released the single "N.A.S.A.", with frequent collaborator and record producer ATL Jacob. He was released from prison in September 2024.

Legal issues Walker was arrested on July 12, 2021, on charges of racketeering and conspiracy to commit racketeering. He was booked at the Orange County Sheriff's Office in Orlando and his bond was revoked. In early February 2025, it was reported that Walker was arrested again on alleged probation violation and gang activity.

Personal life Walker has a son.
