Fareed “Freddie” Abdul Salaam

The Hustlin’ Cabbie Extraordinaire
Fareed Abdul Salaam a.k.a. “Freddie” is a veteran NY taxi driver, who gives new meaning to the expression “Customer is King”—his resourcefulness is legendary and his knowledge of the city is second to none. Unlike most cabbies, he isn’t one to discriminate and there is no address within Manhattan he refuses to go, becoming the cabby of choice for many a crook.

Working hard to pay off his gambling debts and feed his 9 wives, Freddie has taken to capitalism with a vengeance—running favors, serving as a go-between, and helping his fares make things happen in any way he can. His cab is his home, cruising Gotham’s streets 24/7, with few naps in between.

He sees an opportunity with Marcus to further his ability to “make things happen any way they can.”
