LMFAO |
|---|
LMFAO is a Grammy-nominated electro-hop group from Los Angeles, California that consists of DJ/rappers Redfoo (Stefan Gordy) and Sky Blu (Skyler Gordy). Both artists are related to Berry Gordy—Redfoo is the son of the Motown Records founder and Sky Blu is his nephew.[2]
The group's name comes from an Internet conversation that Sky Blu had with his grandmother[3]. LMFAO is currently signed to Interscope Records.[4] They have a single titled "I'm in Miami Bitch"[5] (alternate title "I'm In Miami Trick") which peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100.[6] On July 1, 2008, LMFAO released Party Rock EP on the iTunes music store. Their full album Party Rock was released on July 7, 2009, containing 15 tracks.[7][8]
Their second single, "La La La," debuted at #61 on the Billboard 100. Their third single "Shots" has currently peaked at 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. LMFAO also provided the opening theme to Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami and Jersey Shore.
Controversy
In February 2010, LMFAO member Sky Blu was reportedly involved in an airplane altercation with politician Mitt Romney during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. The rapper claimed that, despite earlier press coverage[9] suggesting otherwise, Romney attacked first, putting a "vulcan grip" on him.[10] The claims were mentioned in a video [11] (that also shows Sky Blu being escorted off the aircraft by authorities) which was posted on TMZ.com.[12][13]
