Whew, chile… the internet’s been watching this one unfold. Kevin McCall has been back in the headlines recently after claiming Chris Brown still owes him $25K for their hit song ‘Deuces’—and even revealed he’s currently on food stamps. But now, a resurfaced interview from 2019 has the internet side-eyeing hard, as Kevin detailed his spending habits and how he first got paid off he song.
Kevin McCall Opens Up About Blowing His ‘Deuces’ Bag
In a resurfaced 2019 interview with BET’s ‘Blew A Bag’ series, Kevin opened up about his early success and how fast the money slipped away. He recalled Chris calling him after the release of ‘Deuces’ to celebrate the song’s success and video plans, but admitted he only received $10K at first—which he ‘spent up in no day.‘ Later, when a six-figure check finally came in, he confessed he didn’t know what to do with it, and the money started pouring in from so many angles that it became hard to manage.

Kevin shared that he knew he “blew the bag” when he had to move back in with his parents, later catching another $10K royalty check that helped him get back on his feet… for a while. But after losing his apartment and ending up at his grandmother’s house, it became clear that the struggle was real. Coincidence or cautionary tale? Fans can’t help but wonder if this is all bad luck—or just bad money management.

From Breezy To Thugger, The Drama Keeps Unfolding
Whew, chile… this whole situation’s been a rollercoaster. If you haven’t been keeping up, Kevin McCall recently got real about his struggles during an appearance on the ‘Back On Figg’ podcast, revealing he’s currently on government assistance and even revisiting his past work with Chris Brown. In an emotional moment, Kevin called out Breezy directly, saying, “N****s are at Breezy Bowl, making $90 million, and it say, ‘K-K-K-K-Mac.’ Can I get $25,000 for them four songs I owe you, bro?” But it didn’t take long for Chris to catch wind and clap back subtly on Instagram with a message that read, “Remember this: you can’t walk across a burnt bridge. And you know what’s funnier than a troll? A BROKE one.”
And just when it looked like Kevin might’ve had a saving grace, things took another turn. Young Thug hopped on X to offer Kevin a helping hand, writing, “Kevin McCall hit me my n*a, I’ll give u the 25k u need, and I know CB would give it to u also bro, he a real one. N**s is busy sometimes brada.” But fast forward a day later, and Thugger seemed to backtrack, posting, “Sorry Mc lol ain no this was all happening kid.” While no one knows what made him change his mind, fans definitely noticed the quick switch-up and the TL’s been side-eyeing the whole situation ever since.
