==Controversies==
In 2018, prior to the [[University of California, Irvine|University of California, Irvine's]] Shocktoberfest music event, the university's Student Services was criticized for allowing Gore to perform at the event after a security video from two years prior emerged showing Gore chasing his girlfriend down a hallway and then hitting her several times.<ref>{{cite news | last = Antonios | first = Caitlin | date = October 19, 2018 | title = Famous Dex Appears as Shocktoberfest Midliner Despite Abuse Video | url = https://www.newuniversity.org/2018/10/19/famous-dex-appears-as-shocktoberfest-midliner-despite-abuse-video/ | work = New University}}</ref> Gore was permitted to perform despite the domestic abuse revelations, and while doing so jumped into the crowded audience causing safety barriers to be knocked over by a rush of audience members. The event was shut down as a result. While leaving the event, it was alleged someone in Gore's vehicle pointed a gun at students. According to the university's official campus newspaper, "Gore bragged online about shutting down the event saying, 'I just shut the show down. And it was all positive vibes.'"<ref>{{cite news | last1 = Alvarez | first1 = Ashley | last2 = Duong | first2 = Ashley | date = October 20, 2018 | title = Shocktoberfest Cancelled After Famous Dex Jumps Into Crowd | url = https://www.newuniversity.org/2018/10/20/shocktoberfest-cancelled-after-famous-dex-jumps-into-crowd/ | work = New University}}</ref>

On December 22, 2018, Gore uploaded a video post to his [[Instagram]] page in which he made racially charged jokes at the expense of an elderly [[Indian American]] [[Hindu]] cashier at a gas station he was frequenting with a friend.<ref>[https://blackroommedia.com/?p=3411 Famous Dex Says Disgusting Racial Slur To Indian Store Clerk] - BlackRoomMedia Reporting</ref> During the video, he remarks "Witcho' lil", referring to the man's [[tilaka]] on his forehead, following a brief exchange about the packaging of the [[Backwoods Smokes]] box Gore was purchasing. He then stops and rhetorically adds "That's a mark of [[Buddha]] in between yo' face?", laughing along with his friend. This is in reference to the 2001 stoner film ''[[How High]]'', in which Chuck Deezy's character Ivory opined that the pubic patch between his eyebrows was the "mark of Buddha".<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/BrvnX7TAeSq/?hl=en Famous Dex Offended Hindus By Joking On A Indian Cashier] - DJ Akadmiks Reporting</ref>

==Controversies==
A rep for the artist told TMZ,"We wish Famous Dex a speedy recovery after his [[epileptic seizure]] last night.He is currently in good spirits and hopes to return back finishing his new albums.He thanks all his fans for their prayers and well wishes."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.complex.com/music/2019/11/famous-dex-epileptic-seizure-while-performing|title=Famous Dex Had an Epileptic Seizure While Performing ...|last=|first=|date=|website=|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}}</ref>
===Shocktoberfest controversy===
In 2018, prior to the [[University of California, Irvine|University of California, Irvine's]] Shocktoberfest music event, the university's Student Services was criticized for allowing Gore to perform at the event after a security video from two years prior emerged showing Gore chasing his girlfriend down a hallway and then hitting her several times.<ref>{{cite news | last = Antonios | first = Caitlin | date = October 19, 2018 | title = Famous Dex Appears as Shocktoberfest Midliner Despite Abuse Video | url = https://www.newuniversity.org/2018/10/19/famous-dex-appears-as-shocktoberfest-midliner-despite-abuse-video/ | work = New University}}</ref> Gore was permitted to perform despite the domestic abuse revelations, and while doing so jumped into the crowded audience causing safety barriers to be knocked over by a rush of audience members. The event was shut down as a result. While leaving the event, it was alleged someone in Gore's vehicle pointed a gun at students. According to the university's official campus newspaper, "Gore bragged online about shutting down the event saying, 'I just shut the show down. And it was all positive vibes.'"<ref>{{cite news | last1 = Alvarez | first1 = Ashley | last2 = Duong | first2 = Ashley | date = October 20, 2018 | title = Shocktoberfest Cancelled After Famous Dex Jumps Into Crowd | url = https://www.newuniversity.org/2018/10/20/shocktoberfest-cancelled-after-famous-dex-jumps-into-crowd/ | work = New University}}</ref>

Shortly after, he checked into a [[Drug rehabilitation|rehabilitation facility]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thesource.com/2020/12/21/famous-dex-checks-into-drug-rehab-after-disturbing-images-go-viral/|title = Famous Dex Checks into Drug Rehab After Disturbing Images Go Viral|date = December 21, 2020}}</ref> Rich the Kid announced in January 2021 that Gore was in a rehabilitation clinic.<ref>{{cite news |date=January 10, 2021 |title=Rich the Kid shares Famous Dex rehab update |url=https://thesource.com/2021/01/10/rich-the-kid-shares-famous-dex-rehab-update/ |access-date=January 17, 2021 |work=The Source}}</ref>

Early life

[edit]

Dexter Tiewon Gore Jr. was born on September 6, 1993, in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City,[3][5] but had since moved to Chicago, Illinois, and was raised in the city's Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.[6][7] He decided to pursue music after the death of his mother in September 2014.[8] In 2016, he tattooed a pink ribbon on his face to commemorate his mother after she died of breast cancer.[9]

Career

[edit]

2015–2016: Early mixtapes and signing to Rich the Kid's label

[edit]

In 2015, he self-released his first mixtape, Never Seen It Coming.[10] Later in 2015, he released his second mixtape, Dexter's Laboratory (not to be confused with the animated television series of the same name).[11]

In early 2016, Gore released his third and fourth mixtapes, Drippy[12] and #OhhMannGoddDamn.[13][14]

In March 2016, Gore announced that he was officially signed to Rich the Kid's label, Rich Forever Music.[15][16] Shortly thereafter, Gore and Rich released their collaborative effort, Rich Forever.[17] This was followed by three sequels, with the third exclusively featuring Rich Forever newcomer New York rapper Jay Critch. In October 2016, Gore was featured in the Soulja Boy music video, "Draco".[18]

2017–2018: Dex Meets Dexter

[edit]

In March 2017, Gore announced the title of his debut album, Dex Meets Dexter. The album was released on April 6, 2018.[19]

In October 2017, he released "Pick It Up" featuring ASAP Rocky as the first single from the album, which peaked at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his first song to chart.[20] The album's second single "Japan" was released on March 16, 2018.[21] On March 30, 2018, he released the single "Light" featuring Drax Project.[22]

The single "Nervous" which features Lil Baby, Jay Critch, and Rich The Kid was released on September 21, 2018.[23]

2019–present: Dexter 2031 EP and Diana

[edit]

On May 8, 2019, the single "Fully Loaded" was released which featured Lil Gotit.[24] A music video was released later on May 27, 2019.[25] Gore appeared on the Rich Forever Music compilation album, Rich Forever 4, which was released on August 2, 2019, and featured new artists signed to the label.[26]

On November 1, 2019, Gore suffered a epileptic seizure during a performance at 1 OAK in West Hollywood, California. A representative later confirmed he was recovering.[27]

On December 31, 2019, Gore released the EP, Dexter 2031, on SoundCloud.[28] The single "What I Like" which features Tyga and Rich the Kid was released on April 3, 2020.[29][30] On July 23, he released the single "Couped Out" with Fivio Foreign.[31] In August 2020, he released the single "Hold On".[32] On October 9, he released the album Diana.[33]

Controversies

[edit]

Shocktoberfest controversy

[edit]

In 2018, prior to the University of California, Irvine's Shocktoberfest music event, the university's Student Services was criticized for allowing Gore to perform at the event after a security video from two years prior emerged showing Gore chasing his girlfriend down a hallway and then hitting her several times.[34] Gore was permitted to perform despite the domestic abuse revelations, and while doing so jumped into the crowded audience causing safety barriers to be knocked over by a rush of audience members. The event was shut down as a result. While leaving the event, it was alleged someone in Gore's vehicle pointed a gun at students. According to the university's official campus newspaper, "Gore bragged online about shutting down the event saying, 'I just shut the show down. And it was all positive vibes.'"[35]

Racially charged comment

[edit]

On December 22, 2018, Gore uploaded a video post to his Instagram page in which he made racially charged jokes at the expense of an elderly Indian American Hindu cashier at a gas station he was frequenting with a friend.[36] During the video, he remarks "Witcho' lil", referring to the man's tilaka on his forehead. He then adds "That's a mark of Buddha in between yo' face?", laughing along with his friend.[37]

Substance abuse

[edit]

Dex has struggled with substance abuse throughout his career. In 2020, following release of a video showing him in an extremely inebriated position, fans expressed concern. Shortly after, he checked into a rehabilitation facility.[38] Rich the Kid announced in January 2021 that Gore was in a rehabilitation clinic.[39]

Arrest

[edit]

In June 2021, Gore was arrested while appearing in court for violating a protection order put in place by his former partner. He was subsequently sentenced to 364 days in a Los Angeles, California, jail on September 1, 2021.[40][41]
