Vincenzo Camille (born 29 January 2005), known professionally as Fakemink (stylised in lowercase) and previously 9090gate, is a British rapper and producer. A member of London's underground hip hop scene, his releases include the viral "Easter Pink", and one studio album, London's Saviour.
Early life
[edit | edit source]Camille was born on 29 January 2005 in the Essex town of Basildon. He is Indian Punjabi on his maternal side, while his paternal side is primarily Algerian. He began making music in FL Studio when he was ten years old, and started rapping in 2019.[1][2]
Career
[edit | edit source]Camille started his career under the name 9090gate; his first song on Spotify was a collaborative effort with fellow British rapper EsDeeKid and was listed to have been released under the year 1938.[3]
Having changed his stage name to Fakemink, he released his first studio album, London's Saviour, on 22 December 2023. In 2024, he released over fifty singles.[4] His 2025 single "Easter Pink" went viral and Pitchfork described it as "Bloghouse meets cloud rap."[5][6][7][8]
On 12 July 2025, Canadian rapper Drake brought out Fakemink as a surprise guest at the Wireless Festival in London.[9] Following his appearance, he was recognized by other musicians such as Clairo, Yung Lean, Yeat, Frank Ocean, and actor Timothée Chalamet.[10][11]
Fakemink was a friend of American rapper Nettspend and was set to release some collaborative work in the future,[12][13] but he released a speculated diss track towards Nettspend on 6 October, titled "Look At Me", following an online conflict.[14] On 14 October, Playboi Carti brought out Fakemink at the Crypto.com Arena during the former's Antagonist Tour.[15][16] On 17 November, Fakemink was featured in a Supreme x True Religion Fall/Winter 2025 campaign.[17][18] Fakemink also performed at Camp Flog Gnaw 2025 that same month.[19]
Fakemink will be releasing a new album in early 2026. The title, though unconfirmed, is reported to be Terrified.[20]
Influences and artistry
[edit | edit source]Fakemink's music has been described as a "mellowed" version of the jerk microgenre, although he does not consider himself part of it. He describes Dean Blunt as the "best artist of all time". He also cites the drums from Drake's 2011 song "Headlines" as a major early influence. Fakemink's other influences include Imogen Heap, Kanye West, Xaviersobased, Phreshboyswag, Drake, Hype Williams, and Nettspend.[21][1] Wendela Rang of New Wave Magazine called Fakemink "The New Prince of Digital Nostalgia".[22]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Fakemink is Muslim. He has said he abstains from alcohol both due to religious adherence and because he does not find it enjoyable.[1][23]
