Why is Kodak Black’s Net Worth So Low?
While Kodak Black achieved some success, he has not yet had the time to build up a large fortune since he is only relatively new to the music industry. What are the other reasons that his net worth is so low?
First, Kodak Black had been entangled in a few legal troubles. He has also spent time in jail on a number of occasions, which of course, didn’t permit him to earn money.
Another reason is he is not signed to a major record label. Kodak Black is signed to an independent label, which means that he doesn’t have so much marketing and promotional resources that other entertainers have.
In 2016, he was arrested on charges of false imprisonment, child neglect, and grand theft. In 2017, he was also arrested on drug charges. Because of these, he can’t keep a steady income.
Aside from his legal troubles, he is also known for not being practical in terms of his finances. In 2016, he was sued for failing to pay rent on his luxury apartment. He has also been accused of spending all his money on expensive cars and jewelry.
