17 kids?? Man was serious when he said "X gon give it to ya" 💀

17 fatherless kids… wow. I don’t understand how a man can abandon their kid and just move on and have another with another woman and so on. I could never walk out on my son. That’s a weak man thing.

Respect to 50 for working his way outta debt and respect to T-Pain for being humble and honest about his situation at the time.

T pain has the healthiest reaction to it all, but 50 having the biggest drop AND the biggest comeback is a hell of a thing

It never fails me to see the irony of rappers singing about how rich they are and get bankrupt a few years (or even months) after they plateau

As a rapper, you either die a hero or live long enough to become broke

to lose $70 MILLION dollars in 3 years? that would last me my whole lifetime AND afterlife

T-Pain is such a fine example of solid work ethic and unwilling to just sit in misery when he's down. Much respects to him.

Even if I was worth billions, I couldn’t justify wasting 100,000$ a month to rent a house. Why not just buy a house and not have rent to pay. 😂

Just hearing about some of the ways these people lost money was physically painful.

50 filed chapter 13 which is essentially like reorganizing your money that’s scattered all over the place. Chapter 7 is the “I can’t pay shit” bankruptcy

Plot twist: This video was originally going to be about rappers that made wise financial decisions until it became apparent that the video would only be 25 seconds long.

Bankruptcy is so powerful that it can touch MC Hammer

Every story starts with a brief moment of "oh my gosh, how'd they lose that much money?" Immediately followed by the answer "he bought 21 cars, 8 mansions, flew everywhere by jet, and blended $50000 into a smoothie every morning."

MC Hammer: “Can’t touch this” Debt: “Hold my beer”

Imagine winning the social lottery and becoming famous with tons of money, and then all of it disappears because you had 17 children.

Rappers feel like their money is perpetual. What baffles me is how Tyga managed to buy other cars and these dealers dont do a background check if he could afford it

mc hammer's story was insane. a pool shaped like hammer pants? statues of himself scattered throughout the mansion? my man thought he was living in a cartoon

I love the way you perfectly transition from one person to the next 💯💯🙌🏽

Its incredibly impressive that 50c managed to get back on his feet in the manner he has

Honestly this is a feel-good video for me. Sure these guys have lost more money than I'll ever own - but it still makes me happy to know I'll never make a single financial decision as stupid as some of these

how does the government expect you to pay 1.3 million after you get out of prison for being broke

I saw MC hammer at Heathrow a few years back around 2018. He was just walking alone at the airport, but wearing the most glorious pair of hammer pants I had ever seen. It took me some time to google him to make sure it was him and I wish I would have talked to him.

Really great warning for us to learn from their mistakes, thanks.

All he had left was 50 Cents. 💀💀💀

I still can’t comprehend how someone can waste millions and millions of dollars in less than two years 😂😂😂😂

It doesn't matter how much money you have, it all matters in how you save, invest and spend it.

You're getting better and better at transitioning between topics

50 cents wasn't that bad with money compared to the rest of them on the list honestly. 5k for gardening per month isn't as insane as 1million a month for 50+ staff... just made bad investments and was unlucky with the financial crisis, while the rest of the people on the list were completely stupid due to drugs and laziness.

Imagine making $132,000 a month and needing to "get back on your feet"

Can’t even imagine spending my money like these guys. To many hurting people around me to ever think like this.

It's nice that you give credit for the idea in the description. You don't have to, but it's the right thing to do

My mother gave me a piece of advice that has always stuck with me. "Pay your bills first and anything left over is yours to keep". I'm still poor but I dont owe the Tax man a million dollars.

Tyga must hate the GTA 5 mission : *Repossession* 😂

Meanwhile, Vanilla Ice is sitting back and laughing all the way to the bank.

i love T-Pain's demeanor even after his experience, he knew what he did wrong and learned his lesson. Good man

50 Cent really living up to his name. 💀

Never heard of T-Pain before but man, he seems really likeable. That's so rare in modern rap

This is a great video, showing that one needs a financial education and advisor to keep the money growing!

LL Cool J, one of the few fiscally responsible rap artists out there, got so tired of seeing other rappers go broke that he actually started hosting a Personal Finance Class for Rappers. It goes without saying that none of the people in this video attended.

I had no idea all those people at DMXs funeral were his kids.

RIP DMX but damn his pull out game was weak asf 😂

man i really don't understand their obsessions with having billion rooms mansions like, what's the point (besides flaunting your money) like you're not even gonna use a tenth (i'm generous) of that house, so yeah really what's the point

...losing $70M in 3 years, man, I'm planning to retire early with only $1M... 🤣🌊

the transition are so slick

Imagine being a multimillionaire and renting a home.. Money doesn't buy intelligence.

Moral of the story: Sometimes, just be happy with what you got.

Definitely learning from all of them

You've a very rhythmic and musical way of narrating. It's like organic dub step.

The financial literacy of rappers never fails to completely boggle my mind..legit feels like middle school kids being handed millions 😅

This makes my $1700 in medical bills not seem that bad any more lol

This video is hilarious 🤣

I dont understand why these people cannot be financially responsible. If i had millions of dollars i would not waste it on such frivolous things, money is far to valuble to throw around as if it is nothing.

T-pain a real G. Keeping it real and not lyin to make himself look better. Even trying to help school younger new musical artists. Keep being you T-pain

The craziest part is that these guys could be taken care of living a good life with just a few or maybe one of the royalties from a good song but they get so bougie they lose it all and then some. It can happen to anyone.

MC Hammer basically was playing a mix of GTA and Saint's Row with his money

Imagine taking financial advise from these people 💀

‘ a previously unclaimed baby’ 😂

@10:04 Steve-O sounds like Ned from South Park 🤣😭

Damn it is almost like the life they promote in the music isn't actually viable for the real world....

DMX really did his best Nick Cannon impression

You need to make a video about country artist, rock artist, and pop artist who went completely broke and who got hooked on drugs

Major respect for 50 Cent's hustle.

I don't care how much someone is worth, a million in child support is absolutely insane

I remember hearing 50 Cent talk about his bankruptcy, and he talks about how people don’t know the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, where 7 is all about liquidation of the assets, and 11 is all about being legally allowed to take every penny out of one business, to restructure it into another, which is why he pulled out stacks of cash to take pictures with. He did it for one night, took the pictures so the IRS would see, and then he put it right back into another business lol. Actually a pretty smart move.

It’s 2 am that means sunnyv2 is in my recommended

DMX’s pullout game was literally non-existent 😂

"x gon giv it to ya." ="as your former lover, I will provide you with financial support for the kid(s) we have together."

It's interesting how different their scenarios and mindsets are. It ranges from narcissism-fueled extravagance, to habitual bad choices, naïvety, and simple misfortune. In particular, I like how down-to-earth and honest T-Pain was about his issues, and I respect 50 Cent's drive for coming back from what would have sunk a lot of other people in his position.

T-Pain is a good man who took it on the chin and actually LEARNED his lessons on money.

I GOT A ADD FOR THE SCOTT GUY MID VIDEO LMFAOO

Man MC Hammer went wild with his spending. I'm a bit of an impulse buyer myself, but even I wouldn't go that crazy if I had that kind of money. What did he need a race horse for?

Honestly, 50 just seemed like he made some bad investments and eventually turned things around, unlike most of the other entries on the list who spent money recklessly.

Tbh seeing T Pain now, I’m glad he was able to fix his financial problems and turn his life around

“…his BAR-BAR” ✂️✂️✂️💈💈💈

T-Pain is a good man, he realized what happened

11 women.. 17 kids. Wtf😂😂

I don't understand how people would get bored of money to a point that they'd finally say: "Y'know what? I wanna hole in my nose and a variety of heart problems. I'm gonna do cocaine until I can't."

Absolutely insane to blow that much cash! I do not feel sorry for them but I am curious if it's better to have it and lose or too never have it at all! You got to imagine being broke after blowing multiple millions and the regret you would carry with you forever!

This sunnyv2 channel appears outta nowhere for me and releases these absolutely fine quality videos

Having that many children is irresponsible imo. There’s no way to spend time with and help raise 17 kids

This isnt just rappers or ball players. This is the story of every person that has seen millions at a young age. Especially if they grew up poor.

This happens to alot of rappers that have never had anything in there life , what happens is they go crazy over the money they have coming in

In all honesty, I feel bad for these rappers going bankrupt but at the same time, these are people who never took responsibility in paying off the stuff that were lend to them. It's like a 'sorry not sorry' type of situation

50 Cent is the only one that actually invested his funds into business deals and industries instead of just material frivolities. I'm impressed.

For whatever reason T-Pain always seemed like a pretty normal/cool dude. I'm glad he got his shii together and turned things around

A single million dollar would change my life forever. Insane to see people just burn money.

crazy that no matter how much some ppl make, its never enough and they never seem happy

"Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants." - Epictetus

Can't wait for the stupidest athletes version

It's not possible to feel bad for these people.

When stupid people come into money. Buying a mansion is legit just burning your cash.

You know what the kicker is? All of those people likely had financial advisors. So either they had inept advisors, or more likely, they simply did not listen to the advice. Edit: Actually, I wonder how many on this video got screwed over by crooked advisors? Plenty of stories about such cases.

"A fool and his money are soon parted" LITERALLY!🤣🤣

I love watching Getto Dwellers PROVE how smart they are 😅mindset in 6 hr reality. Bird man NICE HEAD ! Lmfao

One of the biggest raw deals in the music is new talent, which, more often than not, don't have experience for the amount of money that starts to come in. Its like winning the lottery. The one who didn't end up like broke probably got financial advisors.

Imagine borrowing money and buying burger king with it

The saddest part is when your money goes you find out who your real friends are. One of my best friends in high school had a very generous father. He'd take not only his son's friends out and about (even to Europe for 2 weeks with an 'allowance' to spend), but also their girlfriends or just a friend of theirs. His dad hired some real estate guys that lied about their credentials and they did some shady things. Being his dad was the one legally responsible he ended up in jail and later died due to them thinking his diabetes was just a game. All those friends were really well-off to begin with told stories that his dad killed someone or worse. I wasn't a real close friend of his at the time, but we started hanging out during the mess. I asked my parents if he could live with us to finish off high school and they agreed. We only had room enough for a sleeping bag/air mattress in my brother and I's room as my mom and dad were both hospitalized the previous year and had to downsize (due to my dad's job firing all the senior staff to replace with those making fractions of the salaries since those that built the organization had made it sort of turn key). My friend graduated and ended up in Law Enforcement of all things focusing on going after gangs and organized crimes.

I do this kind of stuff too. I was 20 k in debt last year and so I went and got an Impreza and put a thousand watt stereo in it which made me have to sell it all the next week.

the way he makes a "uhh" sound at the end of his sentences make me want to fight him
