David Andrew Burd (born March 15, 1988), better known by his stage name Lil Dicky, is an American rapper, comedian, and actor. He first received recognition after the music video for his 2013 song "Ex-Boyfriend", became a viral hit—earning over one million views on YouTube in 24 hours. His 2014 single "Save Dat Money" (featuring Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan) marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and preceded his debut studio album, Professional Rapper (2015).

The album, also supported by the gold-certified single of the same name (featuring Snoop Dogg), peaked number seven on the Billboard 200 and saw favorable critical reception. His 2018 single "Freaky Friday" (featuring Chris Brown) yielded his furthest success on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number eight. The following year, his charity record single "Earth" peaked within the top 20 and received platinum certification by the RIAA, although critical reception was largely negative. In March 2020, Burd and producer Jeff Schaffer created Dave, a television comedy series based on Burd's life, for FXX.^[2] The show ran for three seasons and was met with positive reviews.^[3]^[4]
