Yo Gotti was born on May 19, 1981 and grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. He used to play with some elder kids till her mother and aunts were served 10- 15 years after the raid by FBI as they refused to snitch. ‘Yo’ is the short of Mario given to him by the kids. As a rapper he started his career at the age of 14 and soon began to know as a famous rapper of his city. It is not surprising that he started the career from scratch and soon managed to sell millions of albums including more than 70 featured songs with the artists like Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Youngjeezy and Gucci Mane.
In the beginning he used to sell mix tapes with his own label ‘Inevitable Entertainment’ at a mom and pop record store. At present he is engaged in giving last touches to its new release ‘I Am’.
Controversial Issues With Gucci Mane
Since 2012 Yo Gotti and Gucci Mane are very much in the news just because of their controversial issues. Actually both the artists were going to release their mix tapes on the same day. The name of Gucci’s mix tape was “Trap God” where as the name of Yo Gotti’s mix tape was CM7-The world is yours. Later Yo Gotti changed the date of release of his album and thus resolved the matter.
Yo Gotti’s Own Record Label
Yo Gotti has founded his own record label and named it ‘Cocaine Music Group’, CMG. But later changed it to ‘Collective Music Group’ as according to him it more sounds just like a street band. Six artists in all signed the label. Yo Gotti’s latest album ‘I Am’ has also been released under the same label.
Though he is working hard yet his income is not equal to the income of Al Pacino and Bill Murray. Will he be able to compete with them in future?
