FBG Duck

Carlton Dequan Weekly-Williams, mais conhecido como FBG Duck, foi um rapper de Chicago que se tornou uma figura central na cena do drill music da cidade. Suas letras cruas e confrontacionais e seu estilo agressivo o destacaram, conquistando uma base de fãs leais e notoriedade por suas faixas de diss destinadas a grupos rivais. O single "Slide" de 2017 de Duck estourou nacionalmente, levando a um contrato com a divisão RECORDS da Sony e um remix certificado como ouro com 21 Savage. Sua carreira foi marcada por uma série de mixtapes e singles que solidificaram sua reputação no mundo do drill underground.

A violência acompanhou a vida de Duck desde o início. Em 4 de agosto de 2020, enquanto fazia compras no bairro Gold Coast de Chicago, ele foi baleado e morto em um ataque direcionado aos 26 anos. Em 2024, seis suspeitos foram condenados por seu assassinato e sentenciados à prisão perpétua sem liberdade condicional. A música de Duck continua sendo um documento contundente da vida nas ruas de Chicago e da era drill que o produziu. [editar]

Carlton Dequan Weekly-Williams nasceu em 6 de dezembro de 1993, no bairro Woodlawn de Chicago. Passou os primeiros anos com sua mãe, LaSheena Weekly, no conjunto habitacional Ida B. Wells Homes, no bairro Bronzeville. Crescendo no perigoso South Side de Chicago, ele se envolveu com gangues e violência nas ruas desde jovem. Em uma entrevista à XXL, ele lembrou de ter batalhas de rap com seus primos no porão da avó quando tinha 10 anos, o que despertou seu interesse pelo hip-hop.

Weekly começou a lançar músicas em 2011 no YouTube e SoundCloud, postando faixas que refletiam suas experiências com a vida nas ruas e rivalidades de gangues. Seu trabalho inicial gerou burburinho local na cena drill de Chicago. Ele lançou de forma independente sua mixtape de estreia Look at Me em 2013, o que ajudou a estabelecer sua reputação localmente. Suas letras cruas e confrontacionais e seu estilo agressivo o diferenciaram de outros artistas emergentes do drill. [editar]

O grande avanço de FBG Duck veio em 2017 com o single "Slide". A música se tornou um enorme sucesso, acumulando mais de 53 milhões de visualizações no YouTube. Seu sucesso levou a um contrato com a divisão RECORDS da Sony Music Entertainment. Ainda naquele ano, um remix com 21 Savage foi lançado e recebeu certificação de ouro da RIAA. A carreira de Duck foi marcada por uma série de mixtapes e inúmeros singles que nunca alcançaram o mainstream, mas solidificaram sua reputação no mundo do drill underground.

Ao longo de sua carreira, Duck lançou várias mixtapes e singles, incluindo "On My Soul" com Cashout063 em 2015. Sua música continuou disponível em plataformas de streaming após sua morte, e seu catálogo permanece ativo. Em 2024, seis homens foram condenados por seu assassinato e sentenciados à prisão perpétua sem liberdade condicional. [editar]

FBG Duck era conhecido por suas letras cruas e confrontacionais e seu estilo agressivo que refletiam a vida nas ruas de Chicago e as rivalidades de gangues. Sua música era um documento contundente da era drill. A cobertura da mídia focou fortemente em suas afiliações com gangues, faixas de diss e as circunstâncias violentas em torno de sua vida e morte. Seu julgamento por assassinato recebeu cobertura significativa. Nenhum nome oficial de fandom está documentado. [editar]

FBG Duck's global attention peaked during his lifetime and has persisted posthumously, driven by his music and the circumstances of his death. As of August 2026, iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated his fame but he does not currently hold a placement in the published rankings, neither in the Global Top 1,000 nor in any Top-100 scope list. This means his current measurable fame, while significant within the drill music niche and Chicago's cultural memory, has not translated into a position among the world's most famous individuals.

His fanbase, though active, has no formal name. Fans informally refer to themselves as "DuckGang," a term seen in social media posts encouraging streams of his posthumous releases. The community organizes primarily through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, where his official channel hosts over 100 videos. His music remains accessible on major streaming services, with hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners on Spotify alone.

No documented fan campaigns, such as billboards or charity drives, have been recorded. The most visible fan activity is the ongoing effort to stream his music, particularly tracks like "HE BACK." His mother has been publicly active in legal and civic matters, but these are family-led, not fan-led.[editar]

His stage name "FBG" stands for "Fly Boy Gang" or "Fuck Being Gently," representing his affiliation with his Chicago gang set. Duck began having rap battles with his cousins in his grandmother's basement at age 10. He grew up in the Ida B. Wells Homes, a Chicago public housing project in the Bronzeville neighborhood. His father, Carl "Rafael" Weekly, served 27 years in prison before becoming a community activist.

A defining legend is the bounty reportedly placed on his life. In January 2023, an informant told Chicago police that a $100,000 bounty had been set for killing Duck, a story that has become central to the narrative of the conflict that led to his death. The legal aftermath of his murder also forms part of his legacy: six alleged gang members were convicted in January 2024. More recently, his mother filed a wrongful death lawsuit against rapper Lil Durk, alleging his involvement; as of early 2026, a judge has allowed the lawsuit to proceed, keeping the case in public discourse.[editar]

FBG Duck era filho de Carl "Rafael" Weekly, um ativista que cumpriu 27 anos de prisão, e LaSheena Weekly. Ele passou os primeiros anos com sua mãe no conjunto habitacional Ida B. Wells Homes, no bairro Bronzeville. Nenhuma informação está disponível sobre irmãos ou sua própria família. [editar]

FBG Duck colaborou com 21 Savage no remix de "Slide" certificado como ouro. Ele também trabalhou com Cashout063 em "On My Soul". Sua música frequentemente fazia referência a grupos rivais, especialmente o set O-Block dos Black Disciples. [editar]

Nenhum relacionamento romântico público confirmado está documentado em fontes confiáveis disponíveis. FBG Duck manteve sua vida romântica pessoal privada, e nenhum casamento, noivado ou parceria publicamente confirmada foi relatado por veículos respeitáveis. No momento de sua morte, nenhuma informação pública estava disponível sobre um parceiro romântico atual. [editar]

Carlton D. Weekly, known professionally as FBG Duck, died on August 4, 2020, in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The fatal incident occurred on Oak Street near the Magnificent Mile where he was shot multiple times; his girlfriend, who was with him at the scene, was also wounded but survived. While initial police reports confirmed three people were shot, later testimony during the trial of his killers clarified that Weekly sustained extensive injuries. A federal investigation led to the arrest and conviction of six alleged gang members connected to the murder on January 17, 2024. These individuals were identified as part of a rival faction involved in Chicago's drill rap feud.

In addition to the criminal convictions, a civil wrongful death lawsuit was filed by Weekly's mother against rapper Lil Durk, King Von, their respective record labels, the City of Chicago, and Dolce & Gabbana, alleging they were involved in the planning or execution of the shooting. The lawsuit alleged that a $100,000 bounty had been placed on Weekly's life prior to the attack. As of January 2025, the court granted approval for the lawsuit to proceed. Following the news of his death, the Chicago hip-hop community and fans expressed immediate grief. Tributes poured in from peers, including fellow Chicago rappers, highlighting his impact as a key figure in the city's drill scene and the creator of the anthem "Slide".

Vigils and gatherings were held in his honor, particularly within the Parkway Gardens community where he resided. A surge in streaming numbers occurred for his catalog, with "Slide" becoming one of the most recognizable drill tracks of the era. Memorial murals and landmarks were reportedly created in his name, serving as gathering points for fans to pay respects. Moments of silence were observed at local events and concerts across Chicago in the months following August 2020. Specific details regarding the date, location, and attendees of FBG Duck's private funeral service have not been widely published in major news outlets or official press releases. Reports indicate that the family kept the arrangements relatively private, though community vigils took place in the weeks following his death.

Burial or cremation details remain unconfirmed in public records. Posthumous releases include continued streaming of his existing discography and the ongoing promotion of his music through platforms like SoundCloud and Apple Music. No specific films, books, or hall-of-fame inductions have been announced as of the latest reports. However, his estate is currently the subject of an active wrongful death lawsuit filed by his mother, which seeks accountability and damages from the accused parties.[editar]

iFANN currently estimates FBG Duck's estate value at $1 million as of 2026. During his career, his primary income sources included music sales and streaming revenue from singles and mixtapes, a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment's RECORDS division, YouTube monetization (his song "Slide" accumulated over 53 million views), and RIAA gold certification for the "Slide" remix. Posthumous revenue streams include streaming royalties, licensing, and merchandise. The estate is likely managed by family members.[editar]
