The Chicago native’s breakthrough hit, 2022’s super raunchy “Point Me to the Slut’s,” was already blowing up on TikTok when it caught the ear of Cardi B, who joined Fendi on the ever-so-slightly more family-friendly remix (“Point Me 2”) in 2023. The remix, which spent three months on the US Shazam charts last year, brought Fendi to the Billboard charts; meanwhile, her viral momentum continued with 2024’s “Clock Dat,” a duet with social media star Shamar Marco, whose accompanying dance has since gone viral. (The latter was her first song to chart on Shazam outside the US when it hit the charts in Senegal, Ghana, and Cote d’Ivoire in October.)
