Lil Yachty made it apparent on Sunday, July 28, that he is wealthier than the internet suggests.
His and Ian’s Friday, July 26 song “Hate Me,” which featured the Nuthin’ 2 Prove artist spit, “Know I’m richer than your favorite rapper / If I’m not, then, God, kill my momma, huh,” received mixed reviews on social media over the weekend.

A Twitter user asked, “What possessed him to put this on his mom?” A screenshot of Playboi Carti, Kendrick Lamar, and Lil Yachty’s stated net worths—$20 million, $90 million, and $8 million, respectively—was shared by someone else in response. “Damn, he willingly jumped on that crack [with] both feet,” they commented in addition.
Yachty corrected the record shortly afterward by joining the conversation. “In my first eight months of rapping in 2016,” I earned $8 million. On God,” he said, quoting the message and continuing, “You guys are letting the internet lead you.” I’m telling you, s**t is different in real life.
After becoming a rap sensation in 2015 thanks to the song “One Night,” Yachty has collaborated with numerous brands and at one time launched his own. In addition to working with Sprite, Target, Adidas, and McDonald’s, he was named Nautica’s creative director in 2017.
Pierre “P” Thomas of Quality Control Music asserted at the same time that Little Yachty had made $13 million in just 16 months. Who the hell cares what you n**gas think? The majority of the rapper’s income, according to Complex, came from endorsements, live performances, and features.
Regarding music, James Blake and Lil Yachty released their collaborative album, Bad Cameo, in June. Even though it didn’t have any guest writers, it produced hits like “Save The Savior,” “Midnight,” and “Woo.”
In a teaser video released in February, the Georgia native asserted, “I mean, granted, I think James has worked with [quite a] substantial amount of Hip Hop artists, but this project is so left for both of us.”
