Jorden Kyle Lanier Thorpe (born December 29, 1989), better known by his stage name Pardison Fontaine, is an American rapper and songwriter from Newburgh, New York. He is best known for his 2018 single "Backin' It Up" (featuring Cardi B), which peaked at number 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100, received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and led him to sign with Atlantic Records. The label released his debut studio album, Under8ed (2019), which failed to chart.
Along with his recording career, Thorpe has been credited as co-writer on songs for other artists, such as Kanye West ("Yikes", "Ghost Town", and "All Mine"), Cardi B ("Bodak Yellow", "I Like It", "Wild Side", "WAP", and "Up"), and Megan Thee Stallion ("Savage Remix" and "WAP"). At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, Thorpe won Best Rap Song for his contributions to the latter's single, "Savage Remix".
Career In August 2015, Fontaine released his debut mixtape, Not Supposed to Be Here. In 2016, he met fellow New York City-based rapper Cardi B, with whom he would work closely in the years following. In June 2018, Fontaine co-wrote songs for rapper Kanye West's eighth studio album, Ye, including "Violent Crimes." In August 2018, he released the single "Say What I Want". In September 2018, he released the single "Backin' It Up" (featuring Cardi B), which peaked at number 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. They performed the song live at the 2018 BET Hip Hop Awards.
Fontaine released his debut extended play (EP), Sext8pe on December 12, 2023 — the same day the music video for its lead single, "That's Cute", was published on YouTube. Fontaine has stated that the EP is an "audio mashup of the creative [he's] become." He also called it a "brief overview of who [he's] become as a person" and that it was inspired by "love, heartbreak, and all the highs and lows of these things we call relationships. A wide spectrum of emotions and texture, a taste of what is yet to come." The only collaboration on Sext8pe was "Sexyy & Conceited" which features Southern rapper Sexyy Red. "Shake Sum," the EP's second single, was accompanied by a music video published on January 17, 2024.
Personal life In November 2016, Fontaine's daughter was born.
He was in a public relationship with fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion from 2020 to 2023.
In November 2023, Fontaine responded to cheating allegations concerning his past relationship with Megan Thee Stallion through the release of his single "Thee Person". He later denied the accusations in an interview on radio program The Breakfast Club.
