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.

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.
