by Daryl Nelson

These days, it seems that Lil Yachty is doing okay in the money department since he recently gave Kodak Black $50,000 as a get out of prison gift. But not too long ago, the Atlanta rapper was broke, which he explained on Twitter.

Today 5 years ago I stood in the yeezy show... I was still living with my mom and flew on a buddy pass to New York with probably $70 bucks to my name.. but I was mad excited and I feel like my life changed from this day on. My mom and friends cheered me on via text. Thanks Ian.<3 pic.twitter.com/B3CnTK9kDF
