FBG Duck
Carlton Dequan Weekly (December 6, 1993 – August 4, 2020), known professionally as FBG Duck, was an American rapper and songwriter. He rose to prominence in the early 2010s in Chicago's drill music scene. His gritty lyrics and aggressive style often reflected his experiences with street life and gang rivalries. He gained a following for his controversial diss tracks and high‑profile feuds.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Weekly began releasing music as a teenager. He released music in 2011 on platforms such as YouTube and SoundCloud. His first mixtape, Look at Me, was released in 2013. His breakout came in 2017 with the single Slide on the mixtape ‘‘This How I'm Coming 2’’, which brought him mainstream attention and earned him a recording contract with Sony Music Entertainment. Later that year, a remix featuring 21 Savage was released, and in January 2023 the track was certified gold by the RIAA.
Throughout his career, FBG Duck was involved in controversies related to his gang affiliations and the provocative content of his music. His lyrics frequently included disses aimed at rival gangs, such as the O-Block set of the Black Disciples. On August 4, 2020, at the age of 26, FBG Duck was fatally shot in a targeted attack in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. Six suspects were arrested and, in 2024, convicted of his murder, receiving life sentences without parole.
Carlton Dequan Weekly was born on December 6, 1993, in Chicago, Illinois. He was the son of Carl "Rafael" Weekly, an activist who served 27 years in prison, and LaSheena Weekly. He spent his early years with his mother in the Bronzeville neighborhood's Ida B. Wells Homes public housing project. Weekly later recalled in a XXL interview having rap battles with his cousins in his grandmother's basement when he was 10, which inspired his interest in hip-hop.
In 2005, he lost a cousin to police violence, an event he later said left him angry and “a problem child”, prone to fights and trouble-making. In 2008, Weekly and his family moved to Woodlawn on Chicago's South Side. Three years later, the 2011 shooting death of his close friend Shondale “Tooka” Gregory led him to affiliate with the St. Lawrence 063 (“Tookaville”) faction of the Gangster Disciples.[citation needed]
Weekly attended Hyde Park Academy High School. In an interview with Power 92.3 in 2014, he explained the creation of the group's name FBG, stating "We came up with the name because we all used to think we was so fly." Duck's nickname originated from the movie The Five Heartbeats, his mother affectionately called him "Duck" due to the shape of his lips when he was born, which reminded her of a duck.
Weekly began his music career in mid-2011 under the stage name FBG Duck, releasing his debut mixtape, Look at Me, on September 12, 2013. Hosted by DJ Cortez, DJ Shon and DJ Suspence, the project featured the single "Right Now". Over the next two years he released the mixtape Clout Life with Billionaire Black on September 8, 2014, and followed it with Different Personalities on August 14, 2015.
On October 31, 2016, FBG Duck self-released the mixtape This How I'm Coming, which he followed with This How I'm Coming 2 on December 9, 2017. The lead single "Slide" which quickly went viral, later earning RIAA Gold certification. A remix featuring 21 Savage appeared on March 2, 2018, further expanding his audience.
