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 quickly 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 initially—which he ‘spent up in no day.‘ Later, when a six-figure check finally came in, he confessed he didn’t know how to manage it, and the money started pouring in from so many angles that it became overwhelming.
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 poor money management.
The Innanet Kept It Real With Kevin Today
When the old interview resurfaced, fans wasted no time hitting the Golden Era Stories comments with their unfiltered thoughts. Some said Kevin put himself in this situation by mismanaging his money, while others pointed out it sounds like he’s already been compensated what he was owed. And of course, a few chimed in with the classic line—behind every sob story, there’s always a little bit of truth.
One Instagram user @ghova365_og_tribal_chief said, “Ohh he’ made himself broke ”
This Instagram user @porshayaw_ added, “So… he’s bad at managing money, I see.“
And, Instagram user @sensiboifl wrote, “Behind every sob story, there’s the truth”
Then Instagram user @msfunkydineva shared, “And we’re supposed to now give a d*mn that you’re on food stamps? ”
While Instagram user @deivysnicola added, “‘Never a millionaire till you lose your first million,’ he spent the whole eight ”
Instagram user @bayareastisha commented, “There! He said it! From BET to EBT“
Finally, Instagram user @frankiebmusic said, “Kevin This doesn’t even make sense brother lol“
@goldenerastories Kevin conducted this interview with BET in 2019 as part of their “Blew A Bag” series. Adding to his financial woes, he was ordered to pay $1.5 million to a former lover in 2023 following an alleged episode of domestic violence while driving on the freeway.

From Breezy To Thugger, The Drama Keeps Unfolding
Whew, chile… this whole situation has been a rollercoaster. If you haven’t been keeping up, Kevin McCall recently got candid 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 says, ‘K-K-K-K-Mac.’ Can I get $25,000 for those four songs I owe you, bro?” But it didn’t take long for Chris to catch wind and subtly clap back 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*****, I’ll give you the 25k you need, and I know CB would give it to you also bro, he’s a real one. N*****s are busy sometimes brada.” But fast forward a day later, and Thugger seemed to backtrack, posting, “Sorry Mc lol ain’t no this was all happening kid.” While no one knows what made him change his mind, fans definitely noticed the quick switch-up and have been side-eyeing the whole situation ever since.
