FBG Duck was one of the biggest GD rappers in Chicago.
He hopped into the drill scene back when it was just kicking off,
but never blew up like Keef and Durk since he was a GD.
In 2020 he was making moves to leave the streets behind and focus on music,
but then he was tragically gunned down in broad daylight.
This is the wild story of FBG Duck.
Duck grew up on the south side of Chicago in the Low End.
His dad got hit with a 20 year sentence when Duck was three years old,
so he ended up living with his grandma.
Duck had a huge extended family,
and sometimes there would be up to 15 people staying at his grandma’s crib.
Duck told DJ Vlad that he was a bad kid
who always got in trouble for fighting his cousins.
He grew up around violence and started losing family and friends at a young age,
and he ain’t know how to deal with it.
He told Vlad “I was a kid
so I couldn’t take it out on who I wanted to.
So I just took it out on a lot of other mother******s.”
His brother FBG Brick was from STL/EBT,
and Duck started repping them as a teenager.
He was known in the streets as a fighter,
and allegedly even slid into O’Block and put hands on people over there.
Around 2009 Duck became homies with a dude from STL named Tooka.
He told Vlad that him and Tooka pretty much spent everyday together.
In 2011, Tooka hopped on social media
and dissed someone from TYMB who just got killed.
Dudes from TYMB and O’Block allegedly caught Tooka at a bus stop later.
They asked him when the next bus was coming,
and when Tooka looked at his watch they started dumping shots.
Tooka’s murder sparked a deadly war
between 600/O’Block and STL/EBT that’s still going on today.
After he died,
a BD named Odee Perry
allegedly got killed by a girl from STL/EBT named K.I..
Tooka and K.I. was close,
and she allegedly shot Odee because he was part of the Tooka hit.
After he lost his best friend,
Duck and his boy Dutchie started FBG,
AKA Fly Boy Gang.
And around the same time,
his homie Billionaire Black got Duck into rapping.
He started dropping tracks in 2011,
but was still heavy in the streets.
According to rumors,
Duck started sliding into opp hoods and trying to get back for Tooka’s murder.
He allegedly hit five dudes and shot at a lot more,
but that ain’t been confirmed.
While he was putting in work in the streets,
Duck was also grinding with rap.
The BDs was popping off in the industry after Chief Keef blew up,
but Duck was building a buzz for the GDs too.
The only other GD rapper who was making waves back then was Lil Jojo.
Jojo claimed a GD set called Bricksquad,
but he was cool with Lil Reese and Lil Durk because they grew up together.
But after Durk dropped L’s Anthem and said “Brick Squad I say f*** em
Wuga World wit em so it’s f*** em,”
Jojo hopped in the booth
and dropped a remix to Keef’s track Everyday called BDK (3HunnaK).
Jojo dissed all Black Disciples
and also sent shots at his old homie too.
One bar said “Durk say f*** Brick Squad so I can’t wait to catch him
squeeze this f***** 50 now they got him on a stretcher.”
After BDK blew up in the city,
Jojo kept it pushing with tracks like Tied Up
and a remix of Yo Gotti’s song I Got Dat Sack.
He was building a buzz for the GDs
and letting everyone know that they could pop off in the rap game too.
But in September 2012,
Jojo was killed after he gave the opps the drop on his exact location.
On September 4th,
Jojo was sending shots at Lil Reese on social media
after he spotted him earlier in the day.
He tweeted “lmao I’m on 069
stop the f***** flexin,”
and let everyone know where to find him.
Unfortunately the opps slid on him, and Jojo was dead just a couple hours later.
After Jojo died, Duck had to put on even harder for the GDs.
He was building an audience online
and in the city but still had both feet in the trenches.
And in June 2013
he got shot in the leg.
It ain’t clear who tried to take him out,
but Duck tweeted “IM GOOD EVERYBODY I ONLY TOOK A LEG SHOT.”
Duck told DJ Vlad he got shot in the ankle too.
He was walking out of a liquor store when a dude came up from behind him
and started letting off shots.
Duck recovered from the leg shots pretty quickly,
but then his ex-girlfriend stabbed him in the stomach.
Apparently they were having a fight
and Duck ended up slapping her in the face,
so she grabbed a knife and stabbed him.
The knife actually went into Duck’s bowels,
which could have killed him.
He told Vlad he would’ve killed her on the spot,
but his brother wouldn’t hand him his gun.
In 2017, Duck suffered another loss
when his brother FBG Brick and cousin Coby Mac
both got killed on the same day.
Duck told DJ Vlad when he pulled up to the scene and saw his brother and cousin dead,
he had an “automatic breakdown”.
No one was ever arrested for the murders,
but rumors say C-Murda from O’Block was involved.
After Brick and Coby Mac died,
Duck went even harder with the music.
In 2018 he finally broke into the mainstream with the track Slide.
He already had a fanbase in Chicago,
but this track put him on the map outside the city.
It racked up almost 70 million views on YouTube,
and ended up being his hottest song.
Then 21 Savage hopped on the remix and made it even more viral!
Duck signed a deal with Sony Records after Slide popped off.
Rumors said the deal was worth $1.7 million,
but Duck told DJ Vlad it was even more than that.
Duck was known for dissing opps on records.
But in 2019 he dropped the track Chicago Legends,
where he shouted out dudes from both sides who had died.
The track starts off with him rapping about dudes like Lil JoJo and Lil’ Marc,
then Duck switched it up and gave some respect to the other side.
He rapped “Okay enough with the bro ties
Nah I ain’t crossing over a b**** I’m not a bow tie
But I made this track to be fair
It’s only right that I talk about both sides,”
and shouted out Durk’s cousin Nuski who was killed in 2014,
Chief Keef’s cousin Fredo Santana, and L’A Capone from 600.
Fans thought Duck might be easing off all the dissing,
but then Memo600 and King Von dropped the track Exposin’ Me.
Von said “Your homie died, I’m smoking that
I’m tired of smelling Tooka and Lil Marc,
and I’m tired of Scrapp,”
then Memo dissed Tooka too with
“Off that Zeko, Tooka, and that Fatz, we gon’ put in work
Sneaky talking, sayin’ this and that, just gon’ get ‘em murked.”
Duck and Rooga clapped back and remixed the track dissing a ton of dead opps.
Duck said “He got caught in traffic,
Waldo ain’t get to finish his status
He on the internet laughin’, cappin’, then got caught without it
F*** your homie, he dead, you heard what I said
F*** Sheroid, f*** Odee, f*** D-Thang, and f*** Tire Head”
Later in the track he went dissed Memo’s brother Lil Steve and said
“These n****s mentionin’ Tooka, I’ll f*** around, send you to meet him
I don’t got my Glock, when I see an opp, on bro, I’ma beat ‘em
I’m smokin’ Lil Steve can’t breath, thinkin’ it’s over
I wish I was right there when Lil Boo got slumped, I would’ve ran his s*** over.”
Duck was already one of O’Block’s top opps,
and dissing their dead homies just made the target on his back even bigger.
In July 2020,
he dropped the track Dead B****** where he took more shots at O’Block.
And on the hook he said
“Made “Chicago Legends,”
S***, that was just about business
Said I wasn’t gon’ diss the dead and okay, I did it
But n****, f*** T-roy and Odee, them dead b******.”
It looked like Duck was going to be the next drill rapper to make it big in the industry.
He had a new record deal,
his streaming numbers were up,
and people outside of Chicago was finally paying attention.
But on August 4th, 2020,
he was tragically murdered in broad daylight.
Duck was out shopping with his girl in the Gold Coast neighborhood,
which is one of the wealthiest and safest areas in the city.
While they were walking down the street,
two cars pulled up and four shooters hopped out
and started dumping shots.
Duck got hit in the chest and neck,
and unfortunately died later that day.
As soon as the news broke,
rumors started flying that dudes from O’Block was behind the hit.
At first the rumors ain’t have no evidence to back them up,
but in October 2021
the Chicago police arrested five dudes from O’Block for Duck’s murder.
C-Thang, C Murda, Muwop, Los, and Zell Munna
were all named in a RICO indictment,
but Zell Munna took his own life a couple of months before the news broke.
RICO cases are damn near impossible to beat,
and other dudes from O’Block could get wrapped up in it too.
The trial ain’t scheduled to start til Fall 2023,
so it’ll be a minute before we know what kind of evidence the feds have against them.
After he died, the media tried to paint Duck as just a violent dude
who rapped about killing people.
But people who knew him say that’s not the case.
He was known for giving back to the community and donating to schools.
He also hosted back to school drives and encouraged kids to get educated.
A few months before he got killed,
Duck joined the 2020 Vision Campaign and spoke against violence in Chicago.
An activist named Bo Deal said “He wanted to clean his act up for the kids.
A few months ago,
he was saying that he was going to stop putting guns in his videos.
He was trying to change.
It’s just hard when you grow up in this environment.”
Duck’s death was a tragedy,
but he also knew that staying in Chicago could get him killed.
Back in 2017 he told DJ Vlad
that he thought about death every day,
and “I mean of course I know mother******* wanna kill me,
I’m a very disrespectful person.
I know what I did in my lifetime.”
Rest in peace to FBG Duck.
