What is 42 Dugg real name?

Rapper 42 Dugg, real name Dion Hayes, led police on a multi-state manhunt until he was nabbed by federal agents coming off a flight with no number that had a passenger list without his name.

He did all that to avoid a federal prison sentence, for which he was to report on April 12, federal prosecutors say.

But there here's how the feds finally caught up with him:

42 Dugg biography

The rapper was born on the 25th of November, 1994. Where is 42 Dugg from? He comes from the eastside of Detroit, Michigan. 42 Dugg’s real name is Dion Marquise Hayes.

Dugg became homeless at the age of 15. He had been creating independent music while in prison. He regained his freedom in 2017 and soon met rapper Lil Baby. It was in the same year that he graduated from the Legacy Christian Academy.

42 Dugg’s career

After being released from prison in 2017, Dugg had every intention of taking his rhyming career to the next level. It wasn't long before he had caught the attention of Lil Baby, who was a rising star at the time. It was not until sometime in 2018 that the two reconnected after flying to Atlanta to meet Lil and his team.

Dugg and Lil Baby love gambling, and that helped cement their friendship. A few months later, Yo Gotti heard of Dugg's movement through Lil Baby, and he wanted a piece of him as well. Eventually, Gotti gifted Dugg with a CMG chain while they were in Detroit's hometown on a Meek Mill's Motivation Tour.

Apart from signing for Lil Baby’s 4PF, he was also signed by Yo Gotti’s CMG. Dugg was introduced to the national stage when Lil featured him in his track Grace released in February 2020. The song peaked at number 48 on the Billboard hot 100.

Three months later, he was also featured in Yo Gotti’s track We Paid, and it peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. As a result, the sales of his mixtapeYoung & Turnt 2 soared making it peak at number 58 on the Billboard 200. Given the good reception, he followed it up by doing several features on songs by the likes of:

  • Lil Keed
  • Marshmello
  • Blac Youngsta
  • Meek Mill
  • T.I.
  • Big Sean
  • Tory Lanez
  • Mulatto
  • Kaash Paige

His music form employs a slurred vocal style and a combination of auto-tune. However, his signature sound has been his whistle that can be heard at the start of almost all tracks on his 2020 mixtape Young and Turnt Vol 2. His career has been influenced and interrupted by legal issues in equal measure.

In March of 2020, he was arrested on federal gun charges but was released a week later before releasing his mixtape. On June 5th of 2020, he fled from a traffic stop because he had run through a stop sign while in a rented SUV. He remained on the run for two months, but authorities caught up with him on August 4th.

He was released on a $20,000 cash bond because he had to wear a GPS monitor. Some of the top 42 Dugg’s songs include:

  • The Streets (with Babyface Ray) - 2018
  • Real Talk - 2018
  • Tripping - 2019
  • You Da One (with Yo Gotti) - 2019
  • Bounce Back (with Yo Gotti) - 2019
