Over the years, Kim has flashed the glamorous lifestyle, but what hip-hop fans NEED to understand Being Gucci is a FRONT. Most rappers are flossing a FAKE lifestyle.

The label fronts them money and keeps tabs on every penny spent. They are cool with their artist spending like there is no end to the cash flow.

Try to have 7 sources of income, so when one ends it ain’t no thang!
