FBG Duck

Carlton Dequan Weekly-Williams, más conocido como FBG Duck, fue un rapero de Chicago que se convirtió en una figura central de la escena del drill en la ciudad. Sus letras crudas y confrontacionales y su entrega agresiva lo diferenciaron, ganándose tanto una base de seguidores leales como notoriedad por sus temas de diss dirigidos a grupos rivales. Su sencillo de 2017 "Slide" irrumpió a nivel nacional, lo que le llevó a un contrato con la división RECORDS de Sony y un remix certificado oro con 21 Savage. Su carrera estuvo marcada por una serie de mixtapes y sencillos que consolidaron su reputación en el mundo del drill underground.

La violencia acompañó la vida de Duck desde el principio. El 4 de agosto de 2020, mientras compraba en el barrio Gold Coast de Chicago, recibió un disparo y murió en un ataque dirigido a los 26 años. En 2024, seis sospechosos fueron condenados por su asesinato y sentenciados a cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional. La música de Duck sigue siendo un documento crudo de la vida callejera de Chicago y de la era del drill que lo vio nacer. [editar]

Carlton Dequan Weekly-Williams nació el 6 de diciembre de 1993 en el barrio Woodlawn de Chicago. Pasó sus primeros años con su madre, LaSheena Weekly, en el proyecto de vivienda pública Ida B. Wells Homes del barrio Bronzeville. Al crecer en el peligroso South Side de Chicago, se involucró con pandillas y violencia callejera desde muy joven. En una entrevista con XXL, recordó haber tenido batallas de rap con sus primos en el sótano de su abuela cuando tenía 10 años, lo que despertó su interés por el hip-hop.

Weekly comenzó a lanzar música en 2011 en YouTube y SoundCloud, publicando temas que reflejaban sus experiencias con la vida callejera y las rivalidades entre pandillas. Su trabajo temprano generó expectación local en la escena del drill de Chicago. Autoeditó su mixtape debut Look at Me en 2013, lo que ayudó a establecer su reputación a nivel local. Sus letras crudas y confrontacionales y su entrega agresiva lo diferenciaron de otros artistas emergentes del drill. [editar]

El gran éxito de FBG Duck llegó en 2017 con el sencillo "Slide". La canción se convirtió en un gran éxito, acumulando más de 53 millones de visitas en YouTube. Su éxito le valió un contrato discográfico con la división RECORDS de Sony Music Entertainment. Ese mismo año, se lanzó un remix con 21 Savage que obtuvo la certificación oro de la RIAA. La carrera de Duck estuvo marcada por una serie de mixtapes y numerosos sencillos que nunca alcanzaron la fama mainstream pero consolidaron su reputación en el mundo del drill underground.

A lo largo de su carrera, Duck lanzó varios mixtapes y sencillos, incluido "On My Soul" con Cashout063 en 2015. Su música siguió disponible en plataformas de streaming tras su muerte, y su catálogo sigue activo. En 2024, seis hombres fueron condenados por su asesinato y sentenciados a cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional. [editar]

FBG Duck era conocido por sus letras crudas y confrontacionales y su entrega agresiva que reflejaban la vida callejera de Chicago y las rivalidades entre pandillas. Su música era un documento crudo de la era del drill. La cobertura mediática se centró en gran medida en sus afiliaciones pandilleras, temas de diss y las violentas circunstancias que rodearon su vida y muerte. El juicio por su asesinato recibió una cobertura significativa. No se documenta un nombre oficial de base de seguidores. [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 colaboró con 21 Savage en el remix de "Slide" certificado oro. También trabajó con Cashout063 en "On My Soul". Su música a menudo hacía referencia a grupos rivales, en particular al conjunto O-Block de los Black Disciples. [editar]

No se documentan relaciones románticas públicas confirmadas en fuentes creíbles disponibles. FBG Duck mantuvo su vida romántica personal en privado, y no se han informado matrimonios, compromisos ni relaciones confirmadas públicamente por medios de comunicación reputados. En el momento de su muerte, no había información pública disponible sobre una pareja romántica actual. [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]
