Santana grew up with some notoriety for being a disobedient student, being involved in fights as a teenager, and even had an incident with a teacher. It became obvious that his outlet was to be music, and after matriculating that’s what he concentrated on.
His first mixtape was released in 2012 entitled “It’s a Scary Site” which featured production by Young Chop and TM88, and guest appearances by Lil Herb, Lil Bibby Lil Reese, King L, and Lil Durk. Fredo then went on to release a second mixtape the following year entitled “Fredo Kruger”, which continued his collaboration with Young Chop, and this time featuring 808 Mafia, plus other artists including Soulja Boy, Juelz Santana, and Migos. The mixtape would also be available for retail through iTunes. Fredo would then make a cameo contribution in the music video entitled “Hold On, We’re Going home” by Drake, in which he had the role of a kidnapper. More opportunities started to open up for him, which would increase his net worth.
In late 2013, he released his debut album entitled “Trappin Ain’t Dead”, which also featured PeeWee Longway and Kendrick Lamar. Just a month later, a new mixtape was released entitled “Scary Site 2”, then in the following year he decided to work on a collaborative album with Keef entitled “Blood Thicker Than Water”. He also revealed that he was working in a new album entitled “Walking Legend”, which was subsequently released as a mixtape. He also has numerous upcoming projects which will have a hand in further building his net worth.
Fredo’s also gained a lot of money through sponsorships and sales of his mixtapes. He has tried his hand at helping manage a record label, entitled Glory Boyz Entertainment, of which he was co-CEO alongside his cousin.
For his personal life, nothing is known about any romantic relationships; Santana still resides in Chicago, Illinois, but also owns property in New York City. He does show some aspects of his personal life through YouTube, and is active in social media, having nearly 600,000 followers on Twitter and over 1.4 million on Instagram. His pages are updated regularly. In 2017, he was rushed to the hospital due to kidney and liver failure – later reports stated that the organ failures were the result of drug use.
