American rapper Ken Carson rose to prominence after his track “Oh Yeah” caught the attention of none other than Playboi Carti, ultimately leading to a major opportunity — a contract with Carti’s label, Opium. It’s safe to say that Ken Carson was already making waves before that big break, carving out a solid reputation in the vibrant Atlanta hip-hop scene. His journey began back in 2018 when he dropped his debut single, “Bag Full of Boof,” marking the first real step in what would become a rapidly growing career. The following year, he released “Bane,” a track that resonated with fans and eventually amassed millions of streams on Spotify, further cementing Ken Carson’s presence in the rap world.
Long before fame came knocking, Ken Carson was honing his craft, even teaming up with fellow rapper Nezzus during their high school days. Music clearly runs in his veins — his father, rapper I-20, is known for his collaborations with heavyweights like Ludacris, adding another layer to Ken Carson’s deep-rooted connection to hip-hop. Born Bobby Wardel Sandimanie III, he’s now stepping confidently into the spotlight, building a legacy all his own as Ken Carson continues to evolve as an artist.
So, you know, his stage name actually comes from a pretty personal place—back when he was younger, he spent a lot of time alone, teaching himself how to produce music. It was during those solitary days that the name destroylonely really started to make sense. Now, he shares glimpses of his life through photos on his Instagram account, which goes by the same name, destroylonely. Over time, he’s built up a huge following, and right now, he’s got more than 1.6 million people keeping up with him there. It’s kind of cool how something born out of isolation turned into such a strong connection with fans.
