Early life and education
Adigun was born in Evanston, Illinois and was raised in Rogers Park.[5]
He started rapping when he was 6 years old in his basement with his brother and his brother's friends. He states that his brother was a inspiration for him to start rapping, and got his name "femdot" from him too.[6] Adigun is inspired by the other artists like Jay-Z, A Tribe Called Quest, Twista and Jodeci which he listened to growing up.[7] When Adigun was 12, he would record mixtapes and sell them at his school. When he was 16 he dropped a mixtape called A Tribe Called Fresh and started to gain traction on Twitter.[8]
He is the younger brother of Two-time Olympian Dr. Seun Adigun[9] and a graduate of Homewood Flossmoor High School.[10]
Adigun went to Pennsylvania State University in 2014, and graduated DePaul University in 2018 during his musical career, and earned a degree in Biological Sciences and a minor in Peace, Justice & Conflict Studies.[11] During this time he was performing at other events making it challenging for him to handle both rapping and school.[12] Adigun set up the Delacreme Scholarship Program for students from Chicago, so they can have the chance to go to college.[13]

Lyrical Lemonade decided to produce the music video for his track “0’Something” in October of 2018 wich helped him gain even more traction. In 2019, he released his album "94 Camry Music" which was inspired by a 1994 Toyota Camry he used to drive.[17] In 2020, Adigun released a pair of new songs under the banner Buy One, Get One Free Vol. 1. This single includes "Lifetime", which features Saba, as well as "Back Home".[18]
