Early life

edit

Ibrahim Muhammad Dodo was born on June 22, 1999, in Greensboro, North Carolina to a Nigerian Father and African American Mother.[4] He was primarily raised in East Atlanta. In high school, Dodo developed an interest in basketball before relocating to Colorado for his college education.[5][6][7][8] He drew inspiration from notable rappers like Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, Skooly, Future, and Gucci Mane.[9] Before pursuing his rap career, Dodo spent time making money in the East Atlanta streets. He wrote his first song in 2017 and later moved back to Atlanta to focus on his music.[10]

Career

Career beginnings

edit

Hunxho's single "Let's Get It"[11] (part of his project Street Poet 2) marked the beginning of his success.[12] The song was later remixed by 21 Savage.[13] Following this success, Hunxho signed with 300 Entertainment, which released his first 2022 project, Street Poetry.[14] This album featured the "Let's Get It" remix and the single "Made Me" with NoCap. In 2022, Hunxho released his second project, "Xhosen" (a tribute to his son), on June 16.[15][16] This project featured WanMor on the single "Heartless" and guest appearances on singles by Lil PJ, Rot Ken, and Lil Darius. In 2023, Hunxho released his first project, "Humble as Ever", which featured the single "Highly Performing". His long-awaited debut album, "22", was released on March 22, 2023.[17] This 22-song project features Tee Grizzley, Yung Mal, and Lil Poppa, and includes prominent singles like "True To My Religion"[18] and "48 Laws Of Power".[19] The concept of "22" was first teased on Xhosen with the single "22", representing his East Atlanta block, his birthday (June 22), and the significant year of 2022, when he was signed, acquitted of his RICO charge, and the age of which he celebrated the birth of his son.

2023–present: For Her, 4 Days in LA and "IOU Tour"

edit

Hunxho released the eight-song EP 4 Days in LA in May 2023, featuring Lil Dallas and production from longtime trap producer Murda Beatz.[20] Shortly after, he joined the "It's Only Us Tour" as a supporting act, headlined by Lil Baby, in promotion of his third studio album It's Only Me. Hunxho was accompanied by fellow southern artists Rylo Rodriguez and GloRilla on the nationwide tour.[21]

Hunxho would release his gold-certified single Your Friends on August 23, 2024, as the lead single to his next project, titled For Her which would divert from his traditional sound into music more comparable and oriented towards R&B.[22][23] Your Friends would be remixed by Summer Walker in 2024.[24][25]

Personal life

edit

Dodo has two children, Xoe, born in 2023 and Xhosen, born in 2022.[26][27] Dodo is a Muslim.[28]

In June 2023, Hunxho was arrested at the LYFE ATL Nightclub in Atlanta for gun possession, following a shooting incident at a birthday party he hosted.[29]

Dodo was previously involved in a relationship with singer, Keyshia Cole[30][31][32]
