Bandokay

Artist

Kemani Duggan (born circa 2001-2002), better known as Bandokay, is a UK drill artist who represents OFB (Original Farm Boys) from Broadwater Farm in Tottenham. Bandokay is well known for his trio that consists of Double Lz, SJ and Bandokay, which was previously called y.OFB.

His father was Mark Duggan, the man who’s death by police shooting led to the 2011 England Riots. In an interview by The Guardian, Bandokay credited music for keeping him away from crime, and stated his desire to be away from police as a motivator:

Whenever [the police] see me, they stop me, I get what they’re trying to do – they’re trying to take weapons. But I know they purposely stop me more than anyone else. They know who I am. They know who my dad is. So that’s why I’m trying to go through music and do something positive, so they don’t have nothing to say about me.

Bandokay’s popularity soared as the trio made hits such as Ambush and Purge, and continued to rise even more through other releases.
