Since having his hit song Old Town Road inspire
the Yeehaw challenge on Tik Tok, Lil Nas X
has been the talk of the town.
As many of you know, he would have the original
version of his song removed from the Country
Billboard Charts because, according to Billboard
the song was “not [embracing] enough elements
of today's country music”.
Many were quick to jump to Lil Nas X’s defence,
including Billy Ray Cyrus who would remix
the song, and help Lil Nas X become an even
bigger star.
But Nas would pay Billy back by gifting him
a Maserati.
We’re gonna tell you all about that and
more on Lil Nas X, including how he’s been
able to obtain a net worth of 4 million bucks
in just a few months, here for you on the
Rich Life.
What's up cowboys and cowgirls?
My name is Jarred Bronstein and today we are
going to take a look at the financial come
up of Lil Nas X and what they spend their
fortune on here for you on The Rich Life.
We got a Before They Were Famous on Lil Nas
X as well so be sure to peep that after this
video.
And today’s trivia question, who remixed
the song and changed the title all together.
I’m obviously not talking about Billy Ray,
someone took the beat of the song and made
their own song from it.
Let me know who, and what the name of their
remix is in the comments below.
As always, be sure to let us know who is next
in the comments down below and I'll see you
guys after the intro.
Lil Nas X, real name Montero Lamar Hill, was
born on April 9th, 1999 in Atlanta Georgia.
His parents would divorce when he was just
6 years old, so he’d spend a few years living
with his mother and grandmother in Bankhead
Courts, which was a housing project in Atlanta
before it was destroyed in 2011.
Lil Nas X would move in with his dad when
he was 9 years old, living in a suburb in
Cobb County.
While attending school Hill would show an
interest in music playing trumpet but would
quit after fear of being uncool.
He would graduate high school in 2017 from
Lithia Springs and go to the University of
West Georgia for a year before dropping out.
His parents weren’t too happy about that,
so he’d move in with his sister and support
himself by at Six Flags.
Although Lil Nas X would struggle financially,
it wouldn’t be too long before he’d get
a taste of fame and the finer things in life.
Be sure to check out our Before They Were
Famous on Lil Nas X, where we go into much
more detail about the guy’s come up to fame.
Today, we’re focusing on what the guy spends
his money on, so let’s get right to it.
After Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road would top
the billboard charts, and his remix with Billy
Ray Cyrus would take the world by storm, Lil
Nas X would find himself performing before
a Stanley Cup Finals game in Boston, steal
the show with a live performance at the BET
Awards, and release his first EP on June 21st.
And you can be sure the man’s been getting
paid for all of it.
For starters, Lil Nas X showed his appreciation
for what Billy did by gifting him a Maserati
GranTurismo, which has a starting price tag
of $150,000.
This was to celebrate their hit song being
number 1 for 7 weeks.
The song would also break Drake’s record
for most US streams in one week with 143 million.
In a week, that’s wild.
But I mean it’s a song that anyone can rock
to, from kids to adults, it seems everyone
was able to get behind the Horses in The Back.
Lil Nas X is a rapper, just to clarify, but
he loves to dress like a cowboy.
I mean he is from Atlanta, and they got their
fair share of cowboys down there.
I think.
Either way, Lil Nas X can be seen rocking
a pair of Off White Cowboy boots, which come
in $1705.
He also has a Saint Laurent Jacket which is
$3,990 and as well as a Saint Laurent Shirt
for $1,990.
Let’s not forget his $4,800 Gucci Jacket,
$1,700 Gucci Shirt, and $5,400 Gucci Pants.
Maybe the guy should collab with Gucci Gang
CEO Lil Pump.
Yeah, what he said.
Now all of the clothing I just mentioned is
from one magazine alone.
Teen Vogue, which Lil Nas X is photographed
wearing for his first cover story.
He’s also got a few cowboy hats like every
cowboy should, and although prices vary depending
which hat he’s rocking, on average cowboy
hats, real ones at least, can cost anywhere
from $50 up to over $1500, if you buy this
one from Louis Vuitton.
But Lil Nas X also loves to rock his bling.
I couldn’t find much info on his rings unfortunately,
but I do love his silver horseshoe ring.
It just looks sick.
But that's not all the ice this man rocks.
He’s got some drip courtesy of King Ice,
such as this 15MM 14K Gold CS G-Link Chain
which comes in at $200, or his 14k Gold Long
Horn Gold Necklace which costs $120.
He also, of course like any good rapper, has
got himself a pair of grills.
Although the price for the grills hasn’t
been released, I can tell you he went to Mr
Bling Grillz for the diamond teeth and I doubt
they were very cheap.

Just like our boy Mike!
Although I can’t find where Lil Nas X is
currently living, he’s been touring all
over so it’s more than likely he just jumping
from hotel to hotel.
I also don’t know what car he drives, because
he probably just gets around on a horse.
What I can tell you is he’s a fan of the
Stilo Parachute Carrier, which can be seen
here and costs $220 bucks.
As we previously mentioned, Lil Nas X just
dropped his EP called 7.
It’s got a total of 7 tracks, including
the original Old Town Road and the remix,
a song called Panini which might be his next
hit single, and a feature from Cardi B called
Rodeo which is my personal favourite.
The EP has gotten mixed reviews but at the
time of this recording, 3 of Lil Nas X’s
songs are in the top 10 of the top 100 songs
world wide according to Apple Music.
So it’s safe to say the man’s going to
be making even more bank as his EP continues
to grow on people and the charts.
But all the fame and fortune wouldn’t come
without some drama as it always does.
Just the other night on twitter the hashtag
Lil Nas X is Over Party was making its rounds
on twitter.
Over the past few months, Lil Nas X has been
linked to a suspended twitter account with
the handle NasMaraj.
Although Lil Nas X has said multiple times
the account was not his, and that he has no
connection to it, many people think he's lying.
Why would he lie about having an old twitter
account that got suspended?
Well, there are screen shots of that twitter
account tweeting out islamophoic things such
as “Stop pretending there is no correlation
between violence and Islam.”.
Of course this caused a twitter frenzy, but
Lil Nas X, who has claimed he has nothing
to do with the account, took the time to tweet
about it.
He tweeted a video with an animation and his
track Panini playing in the background captioned
"Me at the Lil Nas X is over party”.
Obviously he doesn't seem too concerned about
it.
It’s also important to note that a lot of
people tweeting “evidence” linking Lil
Nas X to the old twitter account are fan accounts
of Taylor Swift and K-pop fan accounts.
People are saying these die hard fans are
just trying to get Lil Nas X off the charts
so their favourite artists can reclaim their
titles.
Kinda messed up if you ask me.
But as always only time will tell whether
or not Lil Nas X has any relation to the former
account.
It is important to note Lil Nas X did have
an claim to run an older twitter account titled
Nasmarai, which also claimed to be the successor
to Nasmaraj.
As always I want to know your thoughts on
this whole situation and of course Lil Nas
X’s new EP 7.
Let me know in the comments down below and
its time to respond to some of your comments
from a previous video!
In Bol Bol’s before they were famous, I
accidentally said in his debut album instead
of debut game.
My bad on that one.
A lot of you guys also called me out for saying
Bol Bol’s dad, Manute Bol was the 2nd tallest
player to play in the NBA.
Although a lot of you seem to think he was
the tallest, according to the Guiness Book
of World records he wasn’t.
Gheorghe Muresan was and still is the tallest
to ever play in the NBA.
Manute Bol was measured at 7’7 but according
to Guiness, who takes their records very seriously,
Manute Bol was 7 ft 6 and 3/4th of an inch,
making him literally just a hair smaller than
Muresan.
Aright guys, I'm wrapping up
this video here, but before we do that, we
gotta answer our trivia question.
Aside from Billy Ray Cyrus and Young Thug,
up and coming rapper Cupcake decided to remix
Old Town Road with her own version, called
Old Time Hoe.
Unfortunately we can’t play a snippet on
here but be sure to give it a listen.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy as much as I did.
