Singer and rapper Kevin McCall recently made the news after he broke down crying while he was talking about his financial woes on the Back On Figg podcast. The 40-year-old claimed that he was now on food stamps and even showed his EBT card, TMZ reported. 

McCall also claimed that his former collaborator and friend, Chris Brown, owed him $25,000 for four songs. It appears that Brown’s frequent collaborator, Young Thug, became aware of McCall’s emotional outburst on the podcast, as he took to X on Tuesday to offer to pay up the alleged $25,000 debt.

Young Thug, in his post, also stated that he was sure Brown was going to pay McCall, and the hold up was because of the singer’s busy schedule. 

“Kevin McCall hit me my n*gga, I’ll give u the 25k u need, and i no CB would give it to u also bro he a real one,” Young Thug wrote. “N*ggas is busy sometimes brada.”

McCall and Brown haven’t been on good terms for several years, and it’s unclear if the latter will settle the alleged debt. Some social media users also cast their doubts on Brown paying up, as they made reference to a previous video of the Go Crazy singer seemingly making fun of McCall and showing luxury cars that he said he bought with the 40-year-old’s money.
