Lil Pump is a famous rapper known for his tunes like ‘Gucci Gang’ and ‘I love It,’ featuring Kanye West. He is quite controversial due to his lyrics, fashion sense, and how he carries himself.
Lil Pump’s Background
Lil Pump goes officially by Gazzy Garcia and was born on August 17, 2000.
He was a troublesome kid in school, seeing that he got expulsions from different schools. He was later admitted to an opportunity school, where he incited a riot and got into a fight, and this incident earned him yet another expulsion.
He is of mixed ethnicity, the only child of a Cuban father and Mexican mother. Lil Pump made headlines in the run to the 2020 presidential election.
He endorsed the incumbent president, Donald Trump, for the presidency.
Lil Pump’s Net Worth
Lil Pump is evidence that controversy sells. His short stint in the entertainment industry drew him riches worth $8 million, and here is how he makes his bucks.
Unpaid Taxes for $1.6 Million
The rapper known as “Gucci Gang,” whose real name is Gazzy Garcia, owes the Internal Revenue Service more than $1.6 million in back taxes from 2018.
According to reports, the organization put a lien on Lil Pump’s $5 million Miami property, which he bought soon after the publication of his second album.
The IRS will probably start taking possession of the house if he doesn’t make the required payments on time.
The 22-year-old rapper hasn’t commented on the claim in the media.
Lil Pump has previously had significant tax problems. The IRS claimed the musician owed over $90,000 in delinquent taxes from 2019 back in April.
Pump’s aforementioned Miami house was purportedly the subject of an IRS lien, but he promptly debunked the claims on social media, claiming the $89,378.68 charge was pennies to him.
His music
While still in school, Lil Pump met with aspiring rapper, Smokepurpp. The two became good friends and set their eyes on the SoundCloud rap scene. They used to rap over instrumentals and upload their work on SoundCloud.
Over time, the two became popular in the Florida underground scene. Among his popular joints at the time included Lil Pump, Gang Shit, Elementary, and Ignorant.
Each of them had over three million streams on SoundClou, showing how popular he was growing.
In 2017, Lil Pump made significant strides in his music career, starting with D Rose’s release. Together with Boss, another single from the same year, they had a combined 70 million streams.
In July of the same year, Lil Pump released one of his best-performing songs, Gucci Gang. At the moment, the tune has over 1 billion YouTube views.
He had earlier signed a record deal with Warner Records, and his riches started building up.
Other Ventures
There is a high possibility that Lil Pump is into influencer marketing. He has a significant following on social media. For instance, he has around 16.6 million followers on Instagram, a potential client base.
From his following, he can earn good money by influencing deals. In 2019, the rapper was in agreement with Gen Z, a weed company.
He assumed the position of a brand ambassador and spokesman. The agreement possibly brought him good returns to boost his wealth.
