Nah, Tekashi had like $2M if I remember the report right from court and that’s despite everything not bad for a guy who had been on for like a year and he had at least a quarter million in jewelry.

Juice WRLD estate just came out today at 3.3M with a $450,000 jewelry collection on top of that.

These nikkas not broke lol. At least the ones that have tours, have hits, do a lot of club walk through, endorsements, sold records, and have side gigs like acting and modeling.

house and jewelry collection probably have a balance on it :manny: plus juice wrld was big as fukk

We don’t know that

The narrative is rappers are broke. Juice had $3.3M, a nice condo, half a milly in jewels. His spending habits are well documented a lot of clothes, food, cars, drugs, rolled with a large entourage, probably had family he took care of.

He was still a millionaire by 20 and only had like 2 years in the game.

Even a more average rap artist in terms of stardom like Dave East has a nice house in Bergen County, drives a cocaine white Range Rover, takes care of his daughter and parents.

Rap pays :manny:

rappers getting entrepreneurial, cam invested in toilet paper. he was just laughing about that the other day.

'Rule number one, never count your homie pockets thinkin' you deserve it
Rule number two, never trust a bytch that'll fukk you for some purses
Rule number three, save you some of that money, shyt you better stop splurgin'
'Cause when it's all said and done and you back at the bottom, they gon' treat you like you worthless
Respect the game'
