Yung Miami is blossoming right before our eyes. The rising rap superstar — who is also one-half of the super-smash Hip-Hop duo, City Girls — has a successful music career, several side businesses, plus more. And she shows no signs of slowing down. Throughout her short career, Yung Miami has earned an impressive $2 million net worth, per Distractify. She’s also been making moves such as the one with her new Revolt show, “Caresha Please,” which has none other than Sean “Diddy” Combs as the executive producer, which could add to that. Let’s take a look at some other fun facts about the rising superstar. Editorial note: The net worth listed in this piece is a speculative estimate drawn from a variety of online sources.

From benefits to ballin’, this Black woman millionaire story is nothing if not inspiring. Arnita Johnson-Hall told her inspiring story to CNBC, and her achievements are nothing if not remarkable. The story begins in 2007, when she was a single mother living in Dallas, TX, and working a dead-end job making a measly $12/hour. Because she was making such a pittance, this future millionaire qualified for all sorts of public assistance programs — including Section 8 housing. And without it, there would be no way she’d have survived. “ My entire income went towards rent, gas, daycare, and, regrettably, payday loans in order to survive until my next paycheck,” she explained to the outlet. When Johnson-Hall was offered a $60,000/year job, it looked like there was a light at the end of the tunnel. But then, when the company ran her credit, she was denied for having a score below 400 (It’s worth noting that while some states — including Texas — permit employers to run credit checks on their...

Lil Uzi Vert has proven that you can be emo and successful. The Philadelphia native-born Symere Bysil Woods has had a string of Hip-Hop hits, including “Money Longer” and “You Was Right” since he first exploded onto the scene in 2016. But, these days, he’s been making a different type of money move. As AfroTech previously reported, Lil Uzi Vert made headlines when he reportedly used the cryptocurrency, Ethereum, to purchase a car for his longtime girlfriend, City Girls superstar JT. And he clearly has the money to plunk down for such an impressive car. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the “emo rapper” — who claims to be a fan of rock acts like Paramore and My Chemical Romance, and claims they’ve influenced his rap style — is one of the top-paid rappers in the industry today. Between September 2017 and September 2018, he earned an impressive $20 million and that was based solely on the strength of his album and single sales. On the streaming side, Spotify reports that Lil Uzi Vert...

The City Girls are here to stay, whether their haters like it or not. In a recent report for Rolling Stone, it was revealed that Summer Walker was enlisting the aid of JT for her newest album, “Still Over It.” The outlet confirms that in the teaser video for the album — which is set to drop in November 2021 — Walker is featured on the phone with JT. While arguably controversial, it’s also just in the City Girls style to flip a negative into a positive (since the video was dated two years ago, it’s meant to imply that it was recorded during JT’s incarceration). Since they first burst onto the mixtape scene in 2017, JT (born Jatavia Shakara Johnson) and Yung Miami (born Caresha Romeka Brownlee) have been making waves everywhere they go. They’ve certainly come a long way from their humble beginnings — born and raised in poverty, JT and Yung Miami worked in fast-food joints and Whole Foods Market before making it big. From appearances on hit songs (Drake’s “In My Feelings) to...
