Kevin McCall has certainly made headlines lately, and not just for his music. On the “Back On Figg” podcast, he got real about his financial struggles, breaking down in tears as he shared that he’s currently relying on food stamps to get by. Imagine being a seasoned artist revealing your EBT card on air! It’s a moment that’s both heartbreaking and a shocking glimpse into the other side of fame.
During his candid discussion, McCall opened up about his complicated relationship with Chris Brown, revealing that they’ve been estranged for over a decade. But it’s not just the emotional pain that has him tearing up; it’s also the money. McCall claims he’s still waiting for $25,000 for songs he co-wrote that Brown is performing on his “Breezy Bowl XX” tour. That’s a lot of cash for a guy who’s trying to figure out how to put food on the table.
Despite the heavy topics discussed, McCall managed to wrap up his nearly three-hour podcast appearance on a positive note. You can’t help but admire his perseverance! If anything, this story is a reminder that even those we see in the spotlight face tough battles behind the scenes. What do you think? Is there a stigma around artists discussing financial struggles? It seems like McCall’s vulnerability might just spark a much-needed conversation in the industry.
