I don’t recall who said it, but recently a veteran asked how these new rappers are all rich.
In my opinion they either have one foot in the streets doing something illegal, or they are giving the illusion of being rich by spending their advance money on rented homes and rented cars.

If someone can start a business offering financial literacy classes to artists they would make a lot of money. In my opinion a lot of artists don’t know how to handle their money especially if the go from having nothing to having everything in a short period of time.

most rappers aren't making the kind of money they're showing. a lot of their jewelry, cars and clothes are loaned to them for marketing and they end up broke once their run is over.

lupe seems responsible tho so he may not be rich but i'm sure he's comfortable and will be good if he just wants to chill and not work anymore.

There’s levels to richness. Jay Z/ Nas/ drake/ Kanye are on that super rich level

but Lupe rich. If you’re a rapper who doesn’t need a 9-5 like a lot of old school rappers have to do and income streams coming in with you just chilling then with no worries you’ll go in the red you’re doing fine and by most standards you’re rich

you ain’t ballin but you’re comfortable

This.

last week I seen him on Live with Mickey Facts eating a delivered Alaskan King Crab omelette for breakfast on a weekday like it was nothing.

He may not be ballin, ballin, but that's rich ppl shyt lol. Ordinary ppl do not live like he does.:pachaha:

I’m curious…No offense, but I’ve never seen Nas’ name on any Forbes list , or any list indicating he is super rich.

I’m not saying he’s broke, I’m sure he has a lot more money than the rappers who brag on social media however, I’ve just never seen his name on any list. Please feel free to correct me though.

Nas' recent investments really paid off or so that's what I've been reading. Apparently he's in that tier.

The word rich is subjective.

"I got money nikka"

He's a millionaire.

In 2018 he was number 6 amongst Hip Hop celebrities on Forbes List

6. Nas ($35 million, tie)

Nas Has Made The Forbes Hip-Hop List For The First Time In His Career


And 98 overall

He was also profiled for his investment in Coinbase

What does Lupe consider rich :comeon:
$5-10 million liquid. He says it in the stream.

To be clear and he said in the video 5m liquid is considered rich and he said he doesn't have that but he has money.
I know for a fact Lu has a Ferrari collection.

But Uzi Vert just stuck a diamond worth 25 million in the middle of his forehead. U sure breh?
uzi vert is like in the 1% class of rappers who make stupid money off rap. it's really 1% or less.

most rappers are not rich or millionaires.

rap fans need to stop believing this

nikkaz got everyone believing that everyone making 100k a show type money :duck:

5 million liquid is well beyond rich. He’s just rich enough that he’s out of touch on what being rich is. If your net worth is more than a million you’re doing very well and anything beyond 2 and you’re a multi-millionaire. A multi-millionaire is definitely rich. With a net worth like that you could live off investments and easily afford a middle class lifestyle with no further work on your part owning a home and car outright.
