How old is Lil Pump and what is the rapper's net worth?
RAPPER Lil Pump shot to international fame with his hit song Gucci Gang and made headlines for endorsing Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
He's now been banned from flying with JetBlue after refusing to wear a mask and calling coronavirus as "hoax".
Who is Lil Pump and how old is he?
Lil Pump, real name Gazzy Garcia, is a 20-year-old rapper from South Florida.
He started his career making rap tracks on the streaming platform SoundCloud, under the growing genre of SoundCloud rap.
His cousin, Lil Ominous, introduced him to the music industry.
As a kid, Garcia was expelled from multiple district schools.
He later enrolled in an alternative education high school but was expelled for fighting and inciting a riot.
In his teens, his reputation in the South Florida underground rap scene developed.
His SoundCloud tracks were taking off - accumulating more than 70 million streams all together.
Lil Pump soon shot to international fame with his catchy track Gucci Gang, which now has over one billion views on YouTube.
Although the song was commercially successful, many did not take the song seriously due to its repetitive lyrics.
However, Lil Pump then did a shock collaboration with hip-hop legend Kanye West on their joint song I Love It, which premiered at the 2018 Pornhub Awards.
It hit a high of No3 on the UK singles charts.
The tattoo-covered rapper is 5'6”.
Lil Pump has stated on his social media that he is dyslexic and unable to read.
The rapper has been arrested four times.
In February 2018, he was arrested for allegedly discharging a weapon in his house.
He was held the same year for driving without a licence and possession of marajuana.
What has Lil Pump said about Trump?
The young rapper appeared at a campaign rally for President Trump late Monday night days after he shared a pro-Trump video on Instagram.
Before Lil Pump took the stage in Michigan, Trump fumbled the introduction and mistakenly called him "Little Pimp."
"Speaking of sound, music, and other things, one of the big superstars of the world, Little Pimp," said Trump.
“There he is. How’s it going?”
The president seemingly laughed at his own gaffe and repeated "Little Pimp" before Pump took the stage and delivered a speech.
On Election Day, Pump shared an Instagram photo of the moment he took the stage with Trump in Grand Rapids.
Lil Pump officially endorsed President Trump days before the election in a video shared with his 17.3 million Instagram followers.
The rapper shared a photoshopped picture of himself shaking hands with the president, captioned: "THE DAY I MET TRUMP #Trump202022020."
He took to Instagram to rant about Joe Biden's proposed tax plans, just like 50 Cent did.
Lil Pump said: "All I gotta say is Trump 2020, b***h. F**k I look like paying an extra 33 in tax for Biden.
"B***h a** n***a, f**k sleepy Joe n***a. Trump 2020, b***h."
