Michael Wayne Atha was born on 30th December, 1979 in Gadsden, Alabama, USA of White American and Cherokee descent.

Currently, he is working under the labels Interscope Records and Shady Records. Yelawolf has been active in the entertainment industry since 2003.
Yelawolf Net Worth $3.5 Million
Music is the main source of his income, which has allowed Yelawolf to be called a millionaire. It has been estimated that the overall amount of his net worth is $3.5 million.
The boy grew up in various places as his mother moved often during his childhood, having been very young (just 15 years old) when she became a mother. Unfortunately, she was hooked on cocaine and alcohol, and in these circumstances Yelawolf’s childhood was rather difficult. Luckily, the boy found his sense of living in music, precisely in hip hop.
It was a long and tough road to go through until the artist reached his goals. The story of his success begins with the reality competition series “The Road to Stardom with Missy Elliott” (2005) which Yelawolf took part in. However, although he was eliminated from the show, soon afterwards his first mixtape “Pissn’ in a Barrel of Beez” (2005) was released followed by his first studio album “Creek Water” (2005). Afterwards, two mixtapes followed, “Ball of Flames: The Ballad of Slick Rick E. Bobby” (2007) and “Stereo” (2008). Unfortunately, none of the above mentioned albums attracted the attention of hip hop lovers.
In 2009, the rapper started working with a new producer named WillPower. Their first mixtape wasn’t successful, though, but afterwards promotional works with Eminem were done and finally the studio album “Radioactive” (2011) appeared in 6th position of R&B and the 4th position of Rap charts in USA – this album has sold 400,000 copies. Following this success two collaborative albums “Psycho White” (2012) and “Shady XV” (2014) were released. Both became hits on the R&B and Rap charts as well as increasing the net worth of Yelawolf. These albums released after 2011 made him famous as well as significantly increased the net worth of the artist. Currently, the rapper is working on the studio album “Love Story”, and collaborative album “Country Cousins” which are going to be released soon. Hopefully, they will increase his net worth, too.
In one of the stages of Yelawolf’s life the now millionaire was homeless and lived in one of the parks in Berkeley, California. It was the moment when he was even ready to return to his mother’s home and had a ticket to Alabama. However, after travelling to Alabama, then Seattle, afterwards Washington he managed to get out of the poverty cycle.
Talking about his personal life, Yelawolf is in a long term relationship with his girlfriend, singer and songwriter Fefe Dobson. In 2013, the couple became engaged.

Tyga Net Worth $3 Million
Tyga grew up in Compton, California, and inspired by the music made by Lil Wayne, Eminem and Fabolous, Tyga delivered a mixtape to his cousin Travis McCoy, who helped him kick-start his career. In 2008, after his single “Coconut Juice” peaked at #94 on the Billboard charts and opened a wave of opportunities for Tyga, he went on to sign a record deal with the Young Money Entertainment label, since when Tyga has been active in the music industry, releasing both solo as and well as collaborative works. Tyga released his first album called “No Introduction” under Decaydence Records. The album did fairly well on the market, especially since one of the songs called “Diamond Life” was featured on a track list of several popular video games, including “Madden NFL 2009”, as well as “Need For Speed: Undercover”. Tyga then went on to create a mixtape called “Fan of a Fan”, on which he worked with Chris Brown, which became a hit among the listeners, and one of the songs called “Deuces” even peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. His net worth was well set.
Following the success of his collaborations, Tyga released his second album “Careless World: Rise of the Last King” in 2012, which also produced six singles. At the peak of his career, Tyga released his third album “Hotel California” in 2013, which featured guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Game and other famous rap artists. The album was released to mixed reviews and even though it did not do as well as his debut album, “Hotel California” made a significant contribution towards Tyga’s fame and net worth. Tyga then worked on “The Gold Album” with Kanye West as an executive producer, released in 2014.
Tyga is a recipient of MuchMusic Video Awards, and a nominee for Grammy Awards, BET Awards, as well as MTV Video Music Awards.
In his personal life, Tyga was in a relationship with a model and stripper Blac Chyna with whom he has a son. He is apparently residing with partner Kylie Jenner in California, in a luxurious mansion that he is rumoured to have bought for $6.5 million. He has had some legal problems with allegedly issuing unauthorised videos, and non-payment of rent plus back-taxes.
