Russ continues to be upfront about what he makes, he says for motivational purposes.
In his latest lesson/stunt he posted his monthly earnings between 2013 and 2017.
He barely made $500 in '13. He was making millions in '17
For inspirational purposes. My come up. OWNERSHIP. Ups and downs is all part of the journey. STICK WITH IT. The big dip in fall of 2016 is when I partnered and moved my main earners over to Columbia cuz I wanted them on my debut album. I stopped it at 2017 cuz I don’t need y’all fully in my pockets like that 😂😂 but also, every dollar on this I kept (except taxes) cuz as some have liked to laugh at, I produced mixed mastered engineered and wrote all of this. I been laughing the whole time!!! 🤣🤣🤣 TAG AN ARTIST WHO NEEDS TO SEE THIS
Russ can be one self-righteous SOB. But you do have to admire him for his DYI hustle.
