AceShowbiz - Rich the Kid lets everyone know that he deserves to be recognized for his talent. After Elliott Wilson called him the "luckiest" guy for the success of Kanye West's "Carnival", the New York-born emcee took to social media to shut down the journalist's statement.
"How the f**k I'm lucky? N***as made that song from scratch..hating is not cool bro," the 31-year-old argued on X (formerly Twitter). He was responding to Elliot's tweet that read, "Rich the Kid is the luckiest n***a on the planet."
"Carnival" appears on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign's joint album, "Vultures". Rich takes the track's first verse, while fellow rapper Playboi Carti raps in the fourth verse.
The song was quick to become a hit among fans. As of Tuesday morning, February 13, it topped Spotify's Global Songs chart. It was also at No. 1 on Apple Music's Top 100: Global, Top 100: USA as well as Top Songs (All Genres) charts.
