According to the Miami Dade Correctional Center, Fredo Bang contracted COVID-19 while incarcerated after being detained on July 21 in Miami.
Bang was set to perform at Rolling Loud Miami on July 22 when he was apprehended by authorities for a parole violation in his native state of Louisiana. Once he tests negative for COVID-19, the rapper from Baton Rouge is anticipated to be extradited to Louisiana.
Fredo Bang, born Fredrick Givens II, was jailed with Lit Yoshi, a fellow rapper from Miami Lakes. Yoshi and the Def Jam Records signee are said to be part of Top Boy Gorilla, which has been feuding with NBA YoungBoy’s gang.
In 2021, Fredo Bang has remained active in the music industry. While he remains in jail at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, his most recent effort, Murder Made Me, was released on August 6.
