The United States produces famous rapper after famous rapper, it’s a craft and talent that sells well in America. American pop culture would be incomplete to talk about without mentioning the major role of rap music and hip pop. Much of what he raps about seems to come from his own life. It would appear that his fan base can relate to his trials and tribulations and Trick Daddy seems to the be the real deal. The rap number Uncle Luke from the album by the same name, is testimony to that. His chequered past has contributed to his fame, but there are other reasons why Young has become famous beyond his gangster image.
Initially, Trick Daddy’s debut album Based on a True Story was only popular in the Miami area. Since then the album has received much wider acclaim.
Trick Daddy’s real name is Maurice Samuel Young. Most of the big names in rap music come from big cities like New York, Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angelos. For Trick Daddy however he comes from Miami’s Liberty City, he was born in the part known as Liberty City. He shared his early life with 10 brothers. The family lived in an apartment complex called Liberty Square. Trick Daddy, or Maurice, joined the family on September 27 1974.
Trick Daddy’s father was allegedly a local pimp, according to Wikipedia. Problems with the seemed to have followed this Miami based family. By the age of 15, Young was allegedly dealing cocaine and was eventually arrested for drug and firearm possession according to Wikipedia. Worse still, at the age of 20, he was sent to prison on an attempted murder charge for shooting a man during a street fight, again according to Wikipedia. We do not have any first hand knowledge of any of Trick Daddy’s alleged crimes so we are basing what we are saying off of external sources that we are self have not verified.
When he got out, the owner of Slip-N-Slide records encouraged Young to focus on a musical career. One thing is for sure though, Trick Daddy may not come from the big cities known for gang violence and rap scene influence. Yet he definitely has had a hard life, in fact his brother was murdered when Trick Daddy was just 15 years old. In 2020, Trick Daddy was arrested on a DUI and cocaine possession charges, according to Miami Herald.
Signing with a specialist record label has done the trick. Trick Daddy has been active since 1996 and has had some fantastic mentors both on a professional and personal level. His net worth is estimated to be something that Trick Daddy does not like to talk about for some reason. But, it is thought that his annual income is in the region of $25,000 to $50,000.
In 2009, Trick Daddy took to the silver screen. He appeared as a drug dealer in the movie Just Another Day. Many who saw the movie have said it was a highly realistic performance (likely from his personal experience, considering his previous legal issues). In 2018, Trick Daddy started to appear in the reality show Love & Hip Hop: Miami.
You can also catch his podcast which is co-hosted by Supa Cindy.
It would appear Trick Daddy does his best to try to focus on his career. But with an upbringing like that, it can’t be easy. Maybe that is why he has had a few problems with the police. He has been accused of everything from DUIs to possession of cocaine, according to ABC.
Unfortunately, drugs have been found on his person which led to an arrest. He has also been arrested for possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, according to Miami Herald. The day he was released, Young was arrested on an attempted-murder charge for shooting a man during a street fight.
Trick Daddy is a professional artist and has the ability to connect with people. He works hard and has probably come to realize that breaking old habits is hard but worth while. His success as a rapper far outweighs in our opinion the trouble he seems to have gotten himself into.
He really does not need to back-up his income with illegal activities. Trick Daddy is a talented guy but his old friends from years past may pull him into situations that he should not be in anymore. Perhaps they are hoping he will share his success with them, yet it happens to often that people from the past pull successful rappers down. Take it from Snoop Dogg’s Rules.
Summing-Up
Trick Daddy has revealed he is fighting the inflammatory disease lupus. That is not the only fight he has had to tackle in recent years. He has also been forced to declare himself bankrupt on three occasions.
As of 2023, Trick Daddy’s net worth is estimated to be $125 thousand. Which is incredibly low considering his peak net worth was is estimated to have been $1 million, in the early 2010s.
Who said life was going to be easy though? As we all know, it is not and we all have to do the best we can. Looking at the life of Trick Daddy, that is exactly what he is doing but it is not proving to be easy for him, like everyone else. However he keeps on grinding and is rebuilding his wealth.
