Féfé
French rapper of Niger origin
Samuël Adebiyi, better known by his stage name Féfé (formerly Féniksi), is a Nigerian singer and rapper.
Early life and career
Féfé was born in Clichy, Hauts-de-Seine, France on 18 January 1976 to Yoruba parents from Nigeria. He formed the rap group OFX with KLR in 1996 where Adebiyi was known as PHNX (also read as Féniksi). The two released the maxi Je n'ose y croire, after which a third member, Vicelow, joined in. The trio made a number of appearances on various compilations and mixtapes. KLR died in April 1998.
OFX, including Féniksi, became part of a bigger formation, the hip-hop collective Saïan Supa Crew, that besides OFX, included two other formations, Explicit Samouraï and Simple Spirit. After KLR's death, Saïan Supa Crew released an album titled KLR in his memory in 1999. In 2002, OFX released the maxi OVNI 2. It was followed by another OFX album, Roots in 2003.
