Kevin McCall, once a rising star in the music industry and co-writer of Chris Brown’s smash hits like “Deuces,” broke down in a recent interview as he revealed he’s currently relying on an EBT card to make ends meet. His emotional confession highlights the often unseen financial struggles of artists behind the scenes, even those credited on chart-topping records.
While Chris Brown recently wrapped a tour that grossed an eye-watering $90 million, McCall says he hasn’t seen fair compensation for his contributions. “People think I’m rich because of the music I helped create, but the reality is I’m struggling,” he shared through tears, sparking debate about royalties and artist support in the music industry.
Fans and fellow artists have taken to social media in support of McCall, calling for transparency and reform in how songwriters and collaborators are paid. His story sheds light on the darker side of fame—where success isn’t always shared equally.
