Before They Were Famous

King Von is an extremely talented and exceptional rapper and songwriter who grew up on the mean streets of South Chicago. The man pulls from urban literature and his own experiences on the street to create his lyrics for hit songs like “Trust Issues”, “War wit’ Us”, and “Crazy Story” which got him enough shine that he was signed to close personal friend Lil Durk’s Only The Family record label. Von really only started releasing music a couple of years ago, back in 2018 to be exact. He spent the previous three years or so in prison, just narrowly beating out a Life Sentence. When he got out, King Von knew he had to turn his life around. He teamed up with Lil Durk and within six months, he had a ton of viral hit tracks on his hands – and more importantly, a whole ton of greenbacks. Since then, life has been one giant success story for King Von. He’s purchased himself a couple of different whips while also making sure to take care of the most important person in his life, his Mom. But there’s one place and one place only where King Von practically lives to spend money and it’s a pretty well-known jewelry store called: Icebox. If you ask me, it seems like King Von is finally living his best life with an estimated net worth of roughly $200K. Though, I think if you were to ask him, he’d have a slightly different estimation of his overall value. At least, that’s what he’s telling his buddies.

Before rapper Casanova would work on collaborations with the likes of Tory Lanez, Chris Brown, Gunna, Young Thug, A Boogie With A Hoodie, and more. Before Casanova would have a very public beef with Tekashi 6ix9ine and then proceed to squash that beef. Before Casanova would have over 66.6K followers on Twitter, 1.7 Million followers on Instagram, and 179K subscribers on YouTube at the time of this recording. Casanova would be one of the first people to tell you that he grew up under pretty good circumstances. Despite that, as a young man, he decided that a different lifestyle would be more enticing to him, so he chose a life of hustling on the streets, committing petty thefts that gradually over time led to bigger and bigger missteps. Eventually, he found himself committing armed robbery and was locked up for over seven years. While on the inside he had himself a pretty famous cellmate who we’ll get to a bit later on in this video and once Casanova finally found himself released, he decided that it was time to completely change his life-up. Cas decided to try his hand at the rap game and created hit songs like: “Don’t Run” and “Set Trippin”, which are aggressive, real give no-F’s type of bangers.

When Bad & Boujie came out in 2017, Offset got himself his first chain with the raindrop emoji which was an easy $50 thousand dollars. His pricier custom pieces include a trap house that weighs more than a kilo hanging on a Cuban chain that cost $250 thousand dollars. But now, he said he’s done with the ice and he’s ready to step his watch game up. Grown man stuff. None of which are less than 100,000. While working on his watch collection, he’s also focused on his sneaker collection: sneakerheads…this is for you. Offset came flexing on Instagram when he posted his rare collection of Air Jordan’s including the 4, 5, 6, 10, 13 & 14 with the caption “shoe game different”. Most of these Jordans have been reported to not even make retail shelves so he either shelled out thousands of dollars or were gifted them. Furthering his sneakerhead status, he recently splurged on a 30k sneaker shopping spree with Complex. When Offset and Cardi B were together, nothing was off-limits when it came to his bank account. He would buy the moon if he could. In an effort to get Cardi back after they separated that first time, he gifted her with four Hermes Birkin Bags with a sprinkle of two Chanel bags totalling over $135k. There’s more though…he also copped her a variety of Louboutin totalling $7,445 but he was tryna win her BACK so it would take more than shoes and bags. He tossed in some jewellery as well - two Cartier bracelets which retail for $43, 600 each.
The couple has officially called it quits as of September 2020 though - we recently covered the split here on Before They Were Famous with a new title…Before They Were Divorced so check out that video as well.

Before Among Us Memes would take over Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, and everywhere else online. Among Us is not a new game. Obviously — it came out in 2018. But at heart, it's much older than that.

These are social deception games, about a group of players trying to identify the traitor amongst them, and the card-playing version actually dates back to the 1980s.

Shannon and Shannade Clermont are no different. These two Haitian-Jamaican twins first dropped into our lives thanks to Bad Girls Club and ever since then, they’ve been popping up everywhere else.

Blac Chyna wasted no time in making bank off of her incredible body and began stripping when she was 18. But Chyna is a lot more than just a pretty face, or jumbo booty, or whatever it is about her that turns so many heads. Although she chose to spell both Black and Chyna incorrectly the young mother is well educated and while she worked the pole in high-end strip clubs under the name Cream, she was simultaneously studying business management in University. But her work in the club was garnering her so much attention, it didn't take long before her expertise on the pole would earn her shoutouts on tracks from Nicki Minaj, Kanye West & of course, Drizzy Drake.
