"Gigolo" is a song by American actor 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 Nick Cannon. The single peaked at number nine on the Hot Rap Tracks chart, and number twenty-four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. To date, it is Cannon’s only song to chart. The Erik White-directed music video features Katt Williams & DJ D-Wrek making cameo appearances in the video.

Cannon has since expressed regret and apologized for working with the track's producer and co-composer, R. 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]
