Lil Pump showed gratitude for his loved ones on Sneako’s stream.
On Wednesday, the Miami native opened up about what he’s grateful for in advance of Thanksgiving.
“I’m most thankful for my family, man, my fans, and just everything in general, bro. I’m thankful for you, bro,” Pump told Sneako. “Having good friends like this ‘cause bro, you don’t run into good people like this nowadays, bro, like it’s hard.”
Sneako then said Pump is “realer” than the “alpha males and these fake red pill manosphere types.” He added, “That’s why you lasted this long because you’re real.”
Pump also opened up about going broke, saying he “went all the way down to zero dollars,” and Sneako “was there for me.” Pump added, “I was dead broke.”
While the 25-year-old hasn’t been too candid about his finances in the past, in 2023, he made headlines for reportedly owing the IRS over $1.6 million in unpaid taxes. That wasn’t the first time rumors swirled about his debts. In 2021, he denied owing the IRS $90K in back taxes.
The SoundCloud rapper rose to fame with the release of his 2017 songs like “Gucci Gang,” “D Rose,” and “Boss.” Around that time, in April 2017, he also shared a snippet of a song titled “Fuck J. Cole.” J. Cole appeared to respond, with many speculating that his April 2018 song, “1985,” is a response to Pump and the rise of other mumble rappers.
The pair later sat down and settled their differences after meeting each other for the first time at Rolling Loud in Miami in May 2018. Cole shared their conversation, which took place at the Sheltuh in North Carolina, where Pump was asked how the phrase "Fuck J. Cole!" came about.
Pump said he noticed a lot of fans were commenting "Fuck J. Cole" on his social media accounts, so he started doing it. "It wasn't even serious," he said. "I fuck with your shit. That shit's hard."
