Although Rich Homie Quan has flourished musically over the past year, many dont know the turmoil him and his family are enduring. “I almost thought about giving up rap for a moment,” says Quan. “My uncle got shot this year. My dad got shot this year–he’s still in the hospital. My mother’s in the hospital now. I just lost my grandmother a week ago.

“What I’ve learned the most is: Save your money. Save. Your. Money.” He learned this the hard way, he says, after his father gave him a chin check about finances early on. “Secondly,” adds Quan, “your circle should be small; surround yourself with people who have genuine love for you and want to see you win.” He goes on: “I want them to be able to tell me ‘no’.”
Hopefully Rich Homie Quan’s 2015 is way better to him!
