Rich The Kid made it onto Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s recently released Vultures 1 album. The duo collectively known as ¥$ recruited the NYC-born, ATL-raised rapper for the “Carnival” track.
While Rich celebrated working with Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, Hip-Hop journalist Elliott Wilson did not seem to share in that excitement. On Monday (February 12) Wilson tweeted, “Rich The Kid is the luckiest n#### on the planet.”
About an hour later, Rich The Kid quote-tweeted Elliott Wilson’s X (formerly Twitter) post. The Rich Forever label founder responded, “How the f### I’m lucky? N##### made that song from scratch… hating is not cool, bro.”
