Dominic Fike created music in jail
Dominic Fike was mostly known on the underground music circuit among his peers in Naples until he signed a contract with Columbia for four million dollars in 2015. As he grew to fame, he faced troubles with law enforcement.
According to Complex, Dominic Fike was charged with the battery of a police officer in 2016. Following the incident, he was placed on house arrest for two months. However, in 2017, the singer violated the house arrest and was sent to jail.
Speaking about his criminal charges, he said in an interview with the magazine that he was just at:
“A wrong place, wrong time, charge with my brother. It’s public information now, it’s all right there.”
During his time in prison, his manager David Fernandez brought music equipment to jail so that he could start making music. The two would then correspond on what must be made into the demo tape. Speaking about creating music behind bars, Fike said:
“We had fights over some of the songs and how the order would be for a little bit. Sometimes when the argument would get so heated, we would be back to the “we’re not even gonna do this” talk. Like 3 Nights wasn’t supposed to go on the EP at all. I pushed for that so hard. I was like, “that’s the zinger.””
Since his EPs release, the Phone Numbers singer’s career skyrocketed. His appearance on the hit show Euphoria also helped him garner a massive fan following. According to The Wikifeed, the Florida native is worth one million dollars.
During his recent appearance at Travis Scott’s softball game, the latter was presented with the Vanguard award for his dedication towards the Black community. Till date, the rapper has raised about one million dollars for 100 HBCU seniors.
