Femi Adigun, known professionally as Femdot (stylized as femdot.) is a Nigerian-American rapper from Chicago. In 2019, Adigun dropped his second studio album, 94 Camry Music, which quickly rose in popularity, and embarked on his first official tour with Tobi Lou.[1] Since then, Adigun has amassed over 365,000 monthly listeners on Spotify,[2] and has collaborated with multiple Chicago musicians.[3]
Early life and education
Adigun was born in Evanston, Illinois and was raised in Rogers Park.[4] He started rapping when he was 6 years old in his basement with his brother and his brother's friends. He states that his brother was an inspiration for him to start rapping, and got his name "femdot" from him too.[5] Adigun is inspired by the other artists like Jay-Z, A Tribe Called Quest, Twista and Jodeci which he listened to growing up.[6] When Adigun was 12, he would record mixtapes and sell them at his school. When he was 16 he dropped a mixtape called A Tribe Called Fresh and started to gain traction on Twitter.[7]
Adigun went to Pennsylvania State University in 2014, and graduated DePaul University in 2018 during his musical career, and earned a degree in Biological Sciences and a minor in Peace, Justice & Conflict Studies.[8] During this time he was performing at other events making it challenging for him to handle both rapping and school.[9]
Career
Following the release of his debut studio album Delacreme 2 in 2018, he was the opening performer at Lollapalooza 2018, his first appearance at the festival.[10][11] In the album he talks about hard subjects like insecurity, systemic oppression, and mental health.[12] Lyrical Lemonade produced the music video for his track "0'Something" in October 2018, which helped him gain even more traction. In 2019, he released his album 94 Camry Music which was inspired by a 1994 Toyota Camry he used to drive.[13] In 2020, Adigun released a pair of new songs under the banner Buy One, Get One Free Vol. 1. This single includes "Lifetime", which features Saba, as well as "Back Home".[14]
Adigun stopped rapping during the COVID-19 pandemic to help out his community instead. After slowly getting on Zoom calls to rap, he began to rap in a studio again in the summer of 2020. In 2021, he released Not for Sale and started performing at live performances.[15] In 2019, Adigun established Delacreme Scholars, a non-profit focused on giving out scholarships and running toy and food drives.[16][17]
He began teaching the "Chicago Culture Through Hip Hop" course at DePaul University in the fall 2025 semester.[18] Students enrolled in the class will listen to albums, read supplemental texts and discuss the music in context. Adigun wants to take the students around Chicago neighborhoods to see where artists came up with their ideas for music.[19]
Personal life
Adigun is the younger brother of two-time Olympian Dr. Seun Adigun[20] and a graduate of Homewood Flossmoor High School.[21]
Political views
Adigun denounced operations conducted in Chicago in the fall of 2025 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, describing it as "domestic terrorism."[22]
