we all know that rapping can make you millions or even billions but if you're not careful that money can vanish before you know it and it looks like that's exactly what's happening with these 10 rappers they're burning all their cash faster than they can make it and will soon run dry do you want to know which rappers are most at risk of going broke watch till the end to find out number nine Kanye West all right let's start with Kanye West the Rap Genius who's no stranger to controversy Kanye West was once among the Forbes billionaires but recently Kanye's bank account has hit a rough patch in fact it went from 2 billion directly to a more humble 400 million that was a big dent so where did all that money go well do you remember his Adidas deal his deal with Adidas was Kanye's golden ticket it had been fattening up his wallet over the years but then Kanye being Kanye it couldn't help stirring controversy by making some seriously anti-semitic comments after receiving so much hated response Adidas ended the deal with Kanye unfortunately kan's music which was once the stuff of Legends has not been doing so well either his latest dond 2 dropped exclusively on some fancy Gadget but hardly made a dent in his finances and let's not even start on the legal drama between paying out $200,000 monthly in child support and fighting lawsuits from unhappy former employees it's a wonder he has a scent left and Kanye he's still living the extravagant lifestyle he's always lived in fact Kanye is one of those rappers who splurges on everything they want fancy cars lavish gifts and let's not forget the time he and Kim spent cash on some seriously overthe toop luxuries like a bulletproof SUV for $1. 2 million and not one but two massive diamond rings that you could probably see from space they even spent a million bucks on beds yes beds and some goldplated toilets rumor has it that they might have purchased a private island for their daughter North's second birthday this means he loves to spend money and is still doing so this year Kanye's splurging hit New Heights when he spent $850,000 to get diamond costlier than Diamond's Dentures he designed for himself because why not right if Kanye doesn't pump the brakes on this spending spree he's definitely headed straight for brookesville and the real question is not if but when the same goes for this next rapper who spends as if he owns a money-making machine number eight Lil Wayne Lil Wayne is the singer behind hits like ailly and lollipop he's a legend in the rap world but when it comes to handling his dough let's just say he's not exactly nailing it according to sources like wealthy gorilla and money check his worth is around $150 million but shockingly Wayne himself hinted last year that he's not sitting on such a gold mine in fact he has a lot less than this actually but still low Wayne has never been shy about splashing cash from Diamond studded watches to fleets of luxury cars Wayne lives large he even bought diamond encrusted Beats worth $1 million and then he also spent 1. 7 mil for a Bugatti veyon because why Drve something modest when you can roll like a king but the thing is that the kind of financial troubles he usually faces he should not be spending this much without thinking it through not only is his lavish spending putting a dent in his fortune Wayne has also made some pretty questionable Financial moves between 2011 and 2012 he forgot about paying taxes yep that led to a massive IRS bill totaling over $14 million after this massive hit he never completely recovered Wayne has also been battling some personal storms recently he confessed to Rolling Stone that he's been experiencing partial memory loss a condition so severe he can't even recall the lyrics to his songs or discuss them with someone else with his health issues now coming to light it's important that Lil Wayne improves his financial strategy because if he doesn't start taking his finances seriously the Empire he built could start to crumble next is a rapper who recently escaped bankruptcy but it looks like he might not get lucky twice number seven Birdman the rapper that we're talking about is not other than Birdman AKA Brian Christopher Williams He the incredible artist behind Cash Money Records this guy helped shoot stars like Drke Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj to the top he even strutted his stuff on Forbes list for being so rich but hold up you can't stay lucky forever a while ago Birdman got himself into some trouble as he got a $1 million loan just to start a vodka brand he put up his Miami mansion as collateral but then and according to the blast arm man did not exactly play by the rules he allegedly used the cash to cover personal expenses instead it was a big mistake it landed him in trouble with the EMG EMG transfer agent who loaned him the money they demanded a whopping $20 million to settle the dispute the end result was that Birman had to wave goodbye to his house and he could not even manage to start his vodka brand then in 2019 Birdman and started to manage his finances by making more music but the problem was that the studio where he used to make his music was in the Mansion he lost so no Studio no music no money despite all his financial problems Herman's love for the Finer Things has not declined the man drives a Maybach accelero a car so exclusive it screams royalty and then he also owns a 1.
35 mil Maybach land delay apparently that wasn't enough because he also splashed out on an $8 million Maybach model 2 and let's not forget the Bugatti Veron because why have one ridiculously expensive car when you can have two now sitting on a net worth of just $150 million Birdman is still not hitting the brakes on his spending if he doesn't stop splurging he might just find his cash reserves running dry number six Whiz Khalifa Whiz Khalifa is the king of Chill Vibes and the High Life literally he's made a splash with his love for all things luxury this rap icon who's renowned for his Anthem black and yellow has been spending like there's no tomorrow with $70 million to his name you would think he's got it all under control but let's break down the bling and the big bucks flying out the window whiz Khalifa's collection of luxury cars is enough to make any Enthusiast Green With Envy he's often seen driving l ravish cars like a Porsche 911 a musclebound Dodge Challenger and even an eco-friendly Tesla no doubt he's got taste his wardrobe is just as extravagant filled with pieces from Top designers ensuring he always looks as past whether he's performing on stage or walking the red carpet and the parties legendary whiz throws down celebrations that would make anyone jealous at every album release party he flows champ pain like water but the thing is he doesn't have as much money as he spends with a lifestyle like his without a good budget whiz could see his bankroll take a nose dive it's a high stakes game and if Whiz Khalifa is not careful even a stash as stacked as 70 mil might not keep the party going forever and the story is the same for this next rapper whose net worth is less than 50 mil but he lives like a billionaire number five future future whose real name is nav adus Deon Wilburn has made quite the name for himself in the rap world according to rumors this Atlanta based artist earns 15 mil annually thanks to his chart topping tracks and the popularity of his music but the thing is despite his impressive income future spending habits might just be setting him up for bankruptcy let's see how exactly Futures garage is full of luxury cars at the top of the list is his Audi rsq8 a beast that cost him $300,000 after that his collection also boast a Mercedes Benz eqc a rugged Land Rover Defender and a Suave Rolls-Royce Ghost just imagine the maintenance bills for these high-end rides they're enough to make any accountant sweat but future spending spree doesn't end with cars he recently threw down 250 Grand to join the board ape Yacht Club and bought a rare nft while nfts were a great idea a few years back their value can be as volatile as Bitcoin on a bad day here today gone tomorrow and with it potentially all that cash after that the place where his money drains is his lavish $16. 3 million Waterfront mansion in Miami this is not just any pad it's equipped with a three car garage and even a parking spot for a yacht it's clear future is living the billionaire lifestyle even though he is not an actual billionaire with this level of spending without the foresight of solid financial planning future could well be on a path that might lead straight to bankruptcy the rapping world is full of such stories where rappers were not careful enough with their spending and went broke before realizing it if future doesn't tighten the Reigns on his extravagant expenditures he might find that his future is not quite as financially sec cure as his present while Future's extravagant lifestyle might become the reason for his downfall this next rappers poor decisions and legal troubles are what are going to make him broke number four 50 Cent 50 Cent whose real name is Curtis Jackson III made a huge impact in the music world with his debut album Get Rich or TI Tran the man sold over 30 million albums in the world alongside his music he made clever business moves like investing in vitamin water which made him around $100 million after Coca-Cola bought the brand despite these high points 50 cents net worth dropped massively you won't even believe the difference his net worth was $500 million in 2010 and now it's around 40 mil only this decline is due to various factors first of all the 2008 Global recession impacted his Investments and he faced several costly legal issues in 2015 he filed for bankruptcy which was a decision that he made after facing multiple lawsuits including a $17 million penalty related to a privacy violation from fellow rapper Rick Ross and a $7 million judgment in a similar case he also lost 17. 2 mil in a dispute with a headphone company these legal issues have been expensive costing him at least 23 mil in fees over the years however 50 Cent continues to spend generously he owns high-end cars like the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster and Ferrari FF he also indulges in luxury items for example he recently bought a Panter de cier ring which he got for 191 Grand in 2019 he also bought a Jackie Chan themed watch that's worth 1.
