Donavin Rashad Hogan (born January 15, 1990), better known by his stage name D The Business (formerly known as Lil' D and Little D), is an American rapper, actor, entrepreneur, songwriter and real estate agent. D The Business gained fame as a young street rapper in the early 2000s at just 10 years old along with his cousin Romeo Miller (formerly Lil’ Romeo) after signing with No Limit Records, which was founded by his cousin, Master P. He was one of the few artists featured on Romeo's debut album Lil' Romeo, which charted the US Billboard 200 at number six and went on to be certified gold, selling over 500,000 copies within a month, which went on to be certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

He was billed on early commercial releases as Lil' D or Lil D before eventually changing his stage name to D The Business in 2012. This name change was accompanied by his breakout street single We So Bout It featuring Master P, Black Don, and Lil Wayne.

In 2019, he released the song Fancy featuring Black Don, and in 2020, he released the single Flex featuring Romeo Miller & Young V. In 2022, he released the mixtape Back To Business.

Aside from music, D The Business is also an actor, realtor, and founder of numerous companies. Hogan also co-founded the independent label L.I.E. Entertainment and played a pivotal role in the creation of the record labels Guttar Music and No Limit Forever Records.
