There were no arrests made in the triple shooting; but police said that they recovered one of the guns used in the shootings after the four suspects fled the scene.
FBG Duck reportedly had a recording contract with Sony imprint Columbia worth just under $2 million. He released his break-out single, “Slide,” in 2017 which cemented his standing in Chicago’s world of hip-hop.
Following the success of his 2018 single “Slide,” which received a 21 Savage remix, the rapper signed a record deal with Sony and released the Big Clout EP. “I ain’t gonna lie to you, I’m actually happy as hell,” he said in a 2018 interview with VladTV. “I’m proud of myself.” ~ Yahoo! News
According to MSN, FBG Duck was raised on the South Side of Chicago and rose with the Fly Boy Gang, the basis of the first three letters of his own moniker. His brother FBG Brick was fatally shot three summers ago.
