About
Nasir Fard, known professionally as Gillie Da Kid, is an American podcaster, former rapper, and actor. Born on January 1, 1984, in North Philadelphia, he rose from the city's underground hip-hop scene to become a prominent media personality. Gillie is best known as the co-host of the massively popular podcast Million Dollaz Worth of Game, which he runs with his cousin Wallo267. The show, distributed through Barstool Sports, blends street wisdom, industry stories, and life advice, attracting millions of listeners.
Before podcasting, Gillie built a reputation as a skilled lyricist and ghostwriter, most famously claiming to have written for Lil Wayne on Tha Carter. He released independent albums like Welcome 2 Gilladelphia and Million Dollars Worth of Game, and acted in films such as Caged Animal and Force of Execution. In 2024, he became the unofficial hype man for the Philadelphia Eagles, going viral for his oversized team merchandise and energetic tunnel dances.
Gillie's authenticity and unfiltered style have made him a beloved figure in Philadelphia and beyond. He continues to expand his brand through a record label, clothing line, and book, while using his platform to uplift youth and promote positive change.
Early Life & Background
Gillie Da Kid grew up in North Philadelphia in an environment marked by poverty. He has described his childhood as being "behind the eight ball already fucked up, busted and disgusted." Despite the challenges, he found an early passion for music in Philadelphia's vibrant underground hip-hop scene.
In 1999, he joined the seven-person rap crew Major Figgas, which signed to Suave House Records. The group released the album Figgas 4 Life in 2000, which charted at No. 29 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. When Suave House lost its distribution deal with Universal, the group disbanded in 2003. Gillie then went solo, signing with Cash Money Records but failing to release any music during his tenure. He left the label in 2006.
His first major break came when he publicly claimed to have ghostwritten songs for Lil Wayne on Tha Carter, sparking a highly publicized feud that put his name and lyrical skills on the map.
Career Growth
In 2007, Babygrande Records released Best of the GDK Mixtapes, a compilation of Gillie's earlier work. He made his acting debut in 2010's Caged Animal, starring alongside Ving Rhames, Nipsey Hussle, and Robert Patrick. He later appeared in Force of Execution with Steven Seagal and Danny Trejo.
In 2011, Gillie co-founded Relumae Records with NFL player Tamba Hali. He released his debut studio album Welcome 2 Gilladelphia in 2015, followed by Million Dollars Worth of Game in 2017. That same year, he launched the podcast Million Dollaz Worth of Game with his cousin Wallo267. The show quickly gained a massive following and was picked up by Barstool Sports in 2020, becoming one of the platform's top podcasts.
In 2024, Gillie became the unofficial hype man for the Philadelphia Eagles, going viral for his oversized Eagles merchandise, running out of the tunnel with the team, and leading dances to Too Short's "Blow the Whistle." He earned the nickname "Chauncey Gillups." In July 2025, he feuded publicly with former NFL quarterback Cam Newton over Newton's ranking of Jalen Hurts.

Fame & Fandom
Gillie Da Kid commands a significant, localized following centered on Philadelphia culture and hip-hop history rather than global mainstream ubiquity. While his digital footprint spans millions of followers across social platforms, iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated this person, but they do not currently hold a placement in the published rankings (Global Top 1,000 or a Top-100 scope list). The fanbase has no formal name; it is primarily defined by their geographic connection to Philadelphia and their association with his specific projects, particularly Major Figgas. His influence manifests most visibly through his role as a pregame hypeman for the Philadelphia Eagles, where he has cultivated a ritualistic bond with the local sports community. This connection was solidified in September 2025 when he introduced a viral dance routine set to "Encore" by Cheryl Lynn, which quickly replaced his earlier "Candy" dance to become a mandatory part of the game day experience at Lincoln Financial Field. Fans rally around these performances and his unfiltered podcast content, engaging deeply with his interactions on *Talk With Flee* and his public feuds that keep the conversation alive within the hip-hop sphere.
Interesting Facts and Legends
Gillie Da Kid maintains close friendships with boxing legend Mike Tyson and received an early career cosign from Will Smith. His collaborative discography includes work with Pusha T, Beanie Sigel, Yo Gotti, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, and Cassidy, notably appearing on Cassidy's 11-minute posse cut "City of Brother Slugs." Beyond music, he actively supports youth by gifting cars and promoting emerging artists while running ventures like Relumae Records, a clothing line, and authoring a book. A defining chapter of his legend began in 2006 during a high-profile feud with Cash Money Records and Lil Wayne, which established his reputation as a fearless Philadelphia hardcore rapper and cemented his underdog status. His evolution into a media icon is marked by his beloved status as the Eagles' pregame entertainer; in September 2025, he launched a new viral dance to "Encore" that became an instant cultural phenomenon among fans. Another story fans still retell involves an incident where Gillie and Wallo allegedly intervened to prevent an anonymous NBA player from having a mental breakdown after discovering infidelity, reinforcing his image as a grounded counselor to athletes. Additionally, a viral moment saw guest Tip roast Gillie for his nearly 30-year rap career without a mainstream hit, a joke fans now embrace as proof of his authenticity over commercial success.
