A year ago, both Addison Rae & Charli D'Ameilo were virtual nobodies -- just talented youngsters with a passion for dance, looking for a platform to call their own. Now, both girls have the ability to make millions of dollars and have a team of agents, managers, and lawyers working tirelessly on their behalf behind the scenes.

Then came the bombshell when Tekashi called out Snoop by name. That same weekend, he got down to business, posting a video of himself watching an old interview of Suge Knight. Once he heard of the accusations, Snoop loudly denied the charges, pointing out that he and Suge have the same lawyers.

Names like Blac Chyna, Safaree Samuels, and even Aaron Carter have started cashing in on this new way to connect with their fans and absolutely rake in the dough.
