Lil Yachty Said, Twitch Streamers Earn More Money Than Rappers

JAKARTA - Lil Yachty expressed his belief that Twitch streamers are currently making more money than 90 percent rappers.

Recently, this Atlanta rapper appeared as a guest in the web series 'Shopping For Shoes' for street clothing store CoolKicks.

At the end of the vlog, he and the host discussed the famous Twitch streamers Kai Cenat and Adin Ross who were both Yachty's friends.

"Enforced by the entire AMP [Cenat maker Group]," he said. Young people, young friends, they go crazy. Kai definitely gets more money than, in my opinion, 90 percent rapper. 90 percent rapper, in my opinion Kai gets more money than them. Adin too, of course!

Reportedly, in February, Cenat earned 300 thousand subscribers in one month, breaking the record for most Twitch subscriptions in a month.

At the time of writing, he had 7.3 million subscribers and had a net worth of $12 million.

Meanwhile, Adin Ross is one of the richest streamers in the world with a net worth of $40 million.

On the other hand of the video, Yachty claims that he and Post Malone were the first rappers to join Twitch.

I was the first rapper to stream. [In] 2017. Before anyone else, Twitch hasn't even appeared and I'm using Twitch. That's me and Post Malone on Twitch. 2017, no one was there. I thought I was there before Post Malone, but we were the only rappers. Seven years ago," he said.

Soulja Boy, who launched its Twitch channel in 2016, then responded to it in an online video.

"Lil Yachty, sit down, sit down," he said. Drake, you and Lil Yachty annoy me. What's wrong with all of you?

"Come on, you're not the first person to appear on Twitch."

Lil Yachty has yet to reply to Soulja Boy's scolding.
