“My life changed from&#8230;” &#8211; Broke Lil Yachty Only Had $70 Before Kanye West’s Yeezy Show, Rest Is History

Over the years, many musicians have left an impact on the music industry.
However, none of them has influenced the music industry in the way Kanye West
has. While in recent times, the rapper finds himself surrounded by controversies
and legal problems, West once influenced a generation of rappers with his music.
Renowned rappers like Kid Cudi and Drake have credited West and called him a
legend. But do you know, West’s show even helped Lil Yachty back in the day?

To achieve massive success with nothing but a “dollar and dream” has been a path
that most of the rappers have been on. Like many, the iSpy hit maker Lil Yachty
had a tough time when he first started. The rapper had to go through a tough
path and was almost broke. But do you know when the actor struggled for his
meals it was not music that helped him through.


LIL YACHTY WAS A MODEL FOR KANYE WEST BACK WHEN HE WAS “ALMOST BROKE?”

Almost a year ago, Lil Yachty took to Twitter where in he told his fans about
the days when he was almost broke. Back in 2016, the rapper had only $70 in his
pocket. And interestingly, it was not music but modelling that helped Yachty
through his tough time. Surprising as it sounds, Yachty revealed how he used his
buddy pass to fly to New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The Poland hitmaker
was broke modelling for Kanye West’s Life of Pablo/Yeezy show almost eight years
ago.

Furthermore, Yachty expressed his gratitude as the rapper wrote, “I was mad
excited and I feel like my life changed from this day on.” Meanwhile, the Speed
me Up rapper thanked his mother and even his friend Ian. Apparently, Ian Connor
is a model and it was him who invited Yachty to West’s show. As per Creative

premiering soon on HBO,
