About Lil Dicky

David Andrew Burd (born March 15, 1988), better known by his stage name Lil Dicky, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, comedian, and actor. He first received recognition after the music video for his 2013 song, "Ex-Boyfriend" became a viral hit—earning over one million views on YouTube in 24 hours. His 2014 single, "Save Dat Money" (featuring Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan), marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and preceded his platinum-certified debut studio album, Professional Rapper (2015). The album, also supported by the platinum-certified single "Professional Rapper" (featuring Snoop Dogg), peaked at number seven on the Billboard 200 and saw favorable critical reception.
