Where Kevin McCall’s Net Worth Stands Today – Chris Brown’s Hitmaker, Now Lives On EBT, Food Stamps

Renowned American rapper and songwriter Kevin McCall is not currently in the best financial position. Once listed among the richest rappers in the industry, the 40-year-old singer-songwriter recently made some shocking revelations about his financial condition, alleging he is now living off of an EBT card and food stamps.

McCall has been a prestigious name in the R&B world, having written and produced numerous chart-toppers in the past decade. He has written and co-produced several tracks that helped redefine the new era of mainstream R&B. Notably, he collaborated with rapper Chris Brown on multi-platinum singles like Strip and Deuces. However, their partnership ended in a public fallout after McCall accused Brown of mistreating him and failing to compensate him for his contributions.

McCall’s recent appearance on the Back On Figg podcast shed light on his ongoing mental and financial struggles. While Chris Brown performs worldwide on his Breezy Bowl XX tour, McCall tearfully claimed the singer still owes him USD 25,000. Amid his emotional revelations, let’s take a look at the rapper’s shocking net worth today.

Kevin McCall breaks down, sharing his financial struggles, and says Chris Brown still owes him money

During his recent appearance on the Back On Figg podcast on YouTube, which aired on October 21, 2025, Kevin McCall made some shocking claims about his financial condition. The once-celebrated artist broke down in tears as he recounted his struggles for the past several years. The emotional outpouring came after he discussed his fallout with Brown and his inability to sustain the success and affluence he once enjoyed.

In the nearly four-hour-long podcast, McCall opened up about the drastic turn in his life, expressing frustration over not receiving proper compensation from his past work. He pulled out his wallet and asked, “What the f*ck I got an EBT Card?” Speaking about Brown’s ongoing Breezy Bowl tour, the Strip co-writer looked at the camera and asked: 

“Can I get USD 25K for them four songs I owe you?”

The video has since gone viral, showing the once-celebrated artist breaking down over unpaid royalties and the exploitation of behind-the-scenes talent in the music industry. Many fans rallied behind McCall, while some others criticised the rapper for blaming his former collaborators instead of taking responsibility for his declining finances.

Where Kevin McCall’s net worth stands today

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kevin McCall’s estimated fortune currently stands at only USD 50,000, a shocking contrast to the millions he generated during his early years in the industry. As one of the richest rappers in India,  his net worth was estimated at USD 1 million in 2024, with some reports also claiming the singer-songwriter had amassed an estimated 2.2 million.

Despite co-writing Grammy-nominated songs and producing for major artists, McCall’s earnings reportedly dwindled due to unpaid royalties, contract disputes, and an inconsistent solo career. Over the years, he has struggled to maintain a steady income, releasing music independently while facing personal and legal setbacks.

Inside Kevin McCall’s career and fallout with Chris Brown

Kevin McCall rose to fame in the early 2010s after partnering with Chris Brown, co-producing and writing several tracks on the singer’s mixtapes, including In My Zone. Their collaboration gifted the world some of the most iconic B&B songs, most notably the song Deuces, which earned Brown a Grammy nomination and cemented McCall’s name in the industry.

Despite such successful collaboration, Chris and Kevin had a public fallout in the mid-2010s over alleged contract due credits. McCall accused Brown of “poor treatment” and withholding his rightful earnings, while Brown distanced himself publicly, ending their creative relationship. 

Throughout his career, McCall has collaborated with numerous artists, including Joe Jonas, Keri Hilson, Faith Evans, and The Notorious B.I.G. He has also continued to release independent projects, such as Sincerely, Kevin and A.D.H.D. (Bangerz). However, none matched his early commercial success with Brown.

McCall’s battle outside his professional life

Beyond music, Kevin McCall’s personal life has also been under prolonged media attention, given his years of turbulent relationship with model and actress Eva Marcille. The estranged couple are parents to a daughter, Marley Rae, but they are no longer together. Their relationship ended in a bitter custody battle that left McCall estranged from his child. Marcille accused him of abusive behavior, while McCall claimed she alienated him from their daughter.

Young Thug steps up for McCall’s financial support

After Kevin’s emotional revelations on the YouTube podcast, his fellow industry colleagues are stepping up to make this easier for him. Fellow rapper Young Thug (aka Jeffery Lamar Williams II) won hearts with his act of generosity as he offered to give McCall the USD 25K that he claimed Chris Brown still owes him. Taking to his X account, Young Thug wrote:

“Kevin McCall, I’ll give you the 25k you need, and I know CB [Chris Brown] would give it to u also, now, he a real one. He is busy sometimes, brother.”
