Early life Fimihan Uthman Akinola was born on 24 February 2001, in Nigeria. He moved to Greenwich in London with his mother and brother when he was three months old. They later moved around to Thamesmead, Newham, and briefly, Kent. He first started recording music after stealing a microphone on his fifteenth birthday and using headphones from his school computer lab. Akinola studied fashion marketing in university and had to repeat his first year twice. He eventually dropped out to pursue music.
Career After dropping out of university, Fimiguerrero traveled to record in cities such as Manchester and Copenhagen, releasing multiple projects. He released two projects in 2023, the extended play Black and the mixtape Immigrant. The former contained a feature from rapper Lancey Foux.
On 16 August 2024, Fimiguerrero released his fifth mixtape, New World Order. On 8 November, he released a collaborative mixtape, Conglomerate, with Lancey Foux and Len to critical acclaim.
On 7 June 2026, Fimiguerrero released the EP The Statue Of A Fool, which featured Bassvictim and Fakemink. His next mixtape is planned to be titled Lost City.
Influences and artistry Akinola grew up listening to grime and UK drill along with his mother's collection of fuji music, Whitney Houston, and Celine Dion. When describing Akinola's 2023 projects Black and Immigrant, Ethan Herlock of the magazine Wonderland noted that consisted of rage with touches of Atlanta trap, plugg, club rap, Afroswing, and cloud rap. Akinola has also released music influenced by the jerk subgenre, including his 2024 collaborative mixtape, Conglomerate, which was described by Kieran Press-Reynolds of Pitchfork as "eclectic hyper-jerk".
