It is the norm for rappers to flex their wealth as much as possible to prove that their bank accounts never end, but we've seen time and time again that much of that is just an entertainment industry illusion. While flashing cash and jewels is a quick way to capture the attention of the general public, not everyone is interested in trying to use their platforms to boast about their elevated tax brackets.
Vince Staples recently caught up with Big Boy for 92.3 in Los Angeles and during the conversation, he spoke about refraining from bragging about money and instead choosing to connect with fans, where they are. “If I know my consumer base and the people that supporting me is making minimum wage, I’m not gon' go show them a big old house, I’m not gon' go show them me on vacation, I’m not gon' show them a car, a watch, clothes. I’m not going to do that, personally,” Vince said.
