'''Flo Rida''', real name '''Tramar Lacel Dillard''' (born September 16, 1979), is a rapper and songwriter from UsefulNotes/{{Miami}}, UsefulNotes/{{Florida}}. He emerged in 2008 with the club anthem mega hit "Low" and has been consistently putting out Pop Rap radio hits ever since. One of the most egregious examples of a "singles artist", he has 11 Top 10 hits, and 7 songs in the Billboard end of the year Top 20, several of which have been certified gold or platinum. Meanwhile, his album sales have tended to be rather poor in comparison (none of them have been gold certified in the United States). Described by Creator/StephenColbert as "the last black man willing to be associated with the state of Florida".

grammy website states he has been nominated for 5 grammys but hasn't won any.


* EpicFail: Flo Rida, a Grammy Award-winning rapper, somehow lost to ''Wrestling/BoDallas'', a non-rapping novelty wrestler, in a freestyle rap off. To be fair, Bo used to do freestyle rap offs with Wrestling/AdrianNeville and Wrestling/SamiZayn back in Wrestling/{{WWENXT}}, but that doesn't mitigate the fact that Flo Rida is still a ''professional'' rapper who lost to someone that's supposed to be a complete amateur.
