Lil Dicky

Personal context

Summary

Lil Dicky, the stage name of David Burd, is a rapper, comedian, actor and creator of the series Dave. His comedy-driven work often draws on sex, insecurity and the tensions around his place as a white Jewish rapper in hip-hop; songs such as “White Dude” and “White Crime” use those subjects for comic effect. His 2019 song “Earth” promoted climate awareness and directed a portion of its proceeds to environmental and conservation nonprofits. No public statements on DEI, identity politics or social-justice activism are on record.
