Frederic Scruggs (born April 18, 1973), better known as Fredro Starr, is an American rapper and actor from South Jamaica, Queens best known as a member of hardcore rap group Onyx.
Onyx split with Def Jam Recordings after their 1998 release Shut 'Em Down, and temporarily broke up, during which Starr released his first solo album, Firestarr, in 2001. Onyx reunited the next year and released Bacdafucup Part II, and Starr's next album, Don't Get Mad Get Money, arrived in 2003. He formed a new group called Yung Onyx in 2006.
On television, Starr had a recurring role on Moesha as the title character's fiancé. He appeared in three episodes of HBO's The Wire as Marquis "Bird" Hilton. Starr co-hosted Paramount Domestic Television's daily half-hour urban dance competition, Dance 360, with actor Kel Mitchell. The program aired for one season in 2004 before being canceled due to poor ratings.
Starr also filmed guest appearances on NYPD Blue, Law & Order, (in which Sticky Fingaz starred in the title role), and "Promised Land." He also played Ricky Gannon on a episode that aired February 2, 2009.
He also appeared on New York Undercover in the episode entitled "Student Affairs".
