If you’re a major country music fan, you may already be intimately acquainted with Kane Brown. The country music singer , who is currently preparing for the release of his fourth studio album The High Road , has turned many heads with his inventive songwriting, charming personality and media appearances in everything from Nickelodeon’s All That to reality competition series The X Factor . Brown currently touts a listenership of over 15 million monthly active users on Spotify alone , with chart-topping tracks such as “Miles On It,” “What Ifs” and “Heaven” serving as his biggest records. Like many modern musicians, Brown marketed himself through social media and the internet without the assistance of the major music labels, making him something of an indie darling to his growing fanbase. Since Brown has been such a hot topic lately, it only makes sense that fans would be wondering about his current net worth. Though the singer is still a rising star, it seems that he has already...
GloRilla has revealed one of her greatest decisions since making her presence known in the music world. The Memphis, TN-born artist, born Gloria Hallelujah Woods, is known for her 2022 single “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” produced by Hitkidd, as AFROTECH™ previously reported. The song sold more than 1 million records, reached the top spot on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, and climbed to No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100, per Revolt. ”It didn’t take the song long to blow up. It blew up in like three days,” GloRilla said during an interview on “The Shop” podcast. “So, I was just traveling the world like two days after I dropped that song ‘cause all the labels were calling me everywhere. So yeah, my life changed, changed right after I dropped that song.” After that, GloRilla set out to prove she would not be a one-hit wonder through the release of “Tomorrow” and its remix with Cardi B; “Yeah Glo!”; “Wanna Be” with Megan Thee Stallion; and most recently “TGIF.” GloRilla credits her success to...
There appears to be no limits for 2 Chainz in his quest as an entrepreneur. Krystal As AFROTECH™ previously reported the “I’m Different” artist was named the head of creative marketing for fast-food chain Krystal, a venture that pays homage to his upbringing with its sliders and shakes.

Back in September 2021, AfroTech sat down with none other than Rick Ross, and we learned some pretty important lessons. But one of the things that consistently stood out was his comment that he “didn’t understand math.” “I was a jackass,” Rick Ross told us at the time. “Without a doubt, I was a comedian, I had a good sense of humor. I was the funny dude and all that. And I don’t think it was just because I naturally wanted to be, but [because] I didn’t know the answers to the questions and all the stuff [the teachers were] writing on the wall.” He then went on to explain that though he still doesn’t understand multiplication to this day, he knows enough to surround himself with a team to make up where he falls short. “I may be the head of this empire, but all of these people make up the backbone,” he said. “A backbone consists of many vertebrae, and if just one of them is out of alignment, the whole body suffers.” In other words, it’s important to always have the right people around...
