How did Lil Snupe Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on June 13, 1995, in Winnfield, Louisiana, Lil Snupe grew up in the city of Jonesboro, where he was raised primarily by his mother (his father was incarcerated when he was still a toddler). After pursuing music for a few years as a teen, he dropped his debut mixtape, 16 & Runnin’ in 2012. As it’d happened, he eventually caught the attention of Meek Mill, who signed him to his music label, Dreamchasers.
On the new label, he eventually came out with his debut single, Melo. Released in April 2013, it proved to be a hit among fans, having racked up over 8 million streams on Soundcloud to date. On Youtube, the accompanying music video has also been played more than 10.4 million times.
As a follow up to that, Lil Snupe eventually came out with his second album titled, R.N.I.C. (Real Nigga In Charge) later that year. Featuring guest appearances from Meek Mill, DJ Khaled, Twinn U, and Jay Knoxx, among a few others, the track list included the titles I’m That Nigga Now, In the Air (Freestyle), Nobody, Ballin’ In the Mix, and Headed Str8 to the Top.
Tragically, it wasn’t long after his second album release, that he was gunned down in his Louisiana home. According to reports, Lil Snupe had been playing video games, when he got into an argument with a player and was subsequently shot multiple times in the chest; he was eighteen years old. Following the incident, police officials located and charged 36-year-old Tony Holden for the first-degree murder.
A year and a half after his death, a third album titled, R.N.I.C. 2 Jonesboro was released posthumously. Some of the tracks that it contained included Come Back Freestyle, Y’all Ain’t, Meant 2 Be, How I Feel and Ride for Me. On Soundcloud, the playlist has since been streamed tens of thousands of times.
At the time of his death, it was said that Lil Snupe had a net worth of $500,000, most of which came from the success from his records.
