Remember Kevin McCall? He was the voice behind some of the early 2010s hits, especially those he collaborated on with Chris Brown, like the chart-topping single “Deuces.” Well, McCall recently resurfaced, and he’s sharing some candid details about his current financial situation, even asking Brown for a significant sum of money.

A Plea for Financial Help

During an appearance on the YouTube show “Back On Figg,” McCall revealed that he’s currently struggling financially, going as far as to pull out an EBT card and ask, “Why the f*ck I got an EBT card?” He then directly addressed Chris Brown, referencing the success of Brown’s “Breezy Bowl” tour and asking, “Can I get $25K for them four songs I owe you?”

The situation became emotional as McCall broke down in tears, emphasizing his difficulties in making ends meet. This public display has understandably garnered mixed reactions from fans online, with some expressing sympathy and others questioning his financial management post-career peak.

Industry Reactions and Support

While Chris Brown has remained silent on McCall’s public appeal, another prominent figure in the music world has stepped forward. Rapper Young Thug took to X (formerly Twitter) to offer his assistance, writing, “Kevin McCall hit me my n***a, I’ll give u the 25k u need… N****s is busy sometimes brada.”

This offer of support highlights the complex relationships within the music industry, where past collaborations can lead to lasting connections, even amidst personal struggles. Young Thug’s response suggests a belief in Brown’s potential willingness to help as well, framing the situation as one of busy schedules rather than unwillingness.

A Look Back at Collaborations

Kevin McCall’s name is closely tied to Chris Brown’s early career success. Beyond “Deuces” in 2010, McCall also contributed to Brown’s 2011 single “Strip.” McCall did release his own debut single, “Naked,” in 2012, but his profile has remained lower compared to his former collaborator.

This situation unfolds as Chris Brown recently concluded his “Breezy Bowl XX” tour, which spanned across Europe and North America, featuring artists like Summer Walker, Bryson Tiller, and Jhené Aiko. The contrast between Brown’s current touring success and McCall’s expressed financial hardship is stark.
