SamuĂ«l Adebiyi, better known by his stage name FĂ©fĂ© (formerly FĂ©niksi), is a French singer and rapper. FĂ©fĂ© was born in Clichy, Hauts-de-Seine, France on 18 January 1976 to Yoruba parents from Nigeria. He formed the rap group OFX with KLR in 1996 where Adebiyi was known as PHNX (also read as FĂ©niksi). The two released the maxi Je n'ose y croire, after which a third member Vicelow joined in. The trio made a number of appearances on various compilations and mixtapes. KLR died in April 1998. OFX including FĂ©niksi became part of a bigger formation, the hip hop collective SaĂŻan Supa Crew, that besides OFX, included two other formations, Explicit SamouraĂŻ and Simple Spirit. After KLR's death, SaĂŻan Supa Crew released an album titled KLR in his memory in 1999. In 2002, OFX released the maxi OVNI 2. It was followed by another OFX album, Roots in 2003. In its turn, SaĂŻan Supa Crew would release X-Raisons in 2001 and Hold-Up in 2005. OFX eventually faded and is no longer active. Its remaining member FĂ©fĂ© has continued his career with solo releases like Jeune Ă la retraite released on Polydor on 12 October 2009, and on 20 May 2013, his second solo album Le charme des premiers jours again on Polydor. He co-wrote "Le malade imaginaire", a main song in the soundtrack of the 2002 film The Truth About Charlie, in addition to co-writing the track "Intro". In 2010, he sang the French version of "Wavin' Flag", the Coca-Cola-sponsored 2010 World Cup song. FĂ©fĂ© sang the French lyrics with songwriter, the Somalian-Canadian K'naan performing the English lyrics.
