In 2006, Gordy, under the stage name Sky Blu teamed up with Redfoo to form LMFAO. The band started in Miami, Florida and released rap songs over electronic beats. They are known for their hit songs "Party Rock Anthem" and "Sexy and I Know It," which were released in 2011. [1] Redfoo later announced that LMFAO would go on hiatus in 2012. Earlier that year, LMFAO performed alongside Madonna at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime. Gordy later claimed in a Facebook post in 2016 that Redfoo had tried to claim all of the band's royalties for himself and that the latter had announced LMFAO's hiatus a year after not speaking with Gordy, who had suffered a serious back injury.
