"Gigolo" is a song by American actor, comedian, and rapper Nick Cannon featuring vocals and sole production from R. Kelly. It was released on October 18, 2003 as the third single from the former's self-titled debut studio album.
"Gigolo" peaked at number nine on the Hot Rap Tracks chart, and number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. As of 2025, it is Cannon's highest-charting entry on the latter chart, and the first of his two entries on the chart in his career. The Erik White-directed music video features Katt Williams and DJ D-Wrek in cameo appearances. Cannon has since expressed regret and apologized for working with Kelly, since the January 2019 airing of the Lifetime television documentary Surviving R. Kelly, which depicted graphic revelations of sexual abuse by the singer.[1][2][3][4]
