Although Trinidad James has struggled for a fair bit, he has made millions of dollars over his career. As of January 2020, he is worth $2 million.

James did not start his professional career as a rapper, in fact he was not even in the sic industry and worked at a fashion store in his hometown. Then in October of 2012, he released his first single All Gold Everything along with its music video.

The video showed him in his usually eccentric fashion sense. This single made him an overnight success and soon he was approached by Def Jam with a $2 million deal to collaborate with his own label and signed in the end of 2012.

After signing on with the label he started working on his music and soon had the EP “Don’t Be S.A.F.E.” released by the label. The EP flopped and got him a lot of criticism, soon after this in 2014 he was fired from his label.

Struggle After Def Jam Contract Drop

Tirnidad Jam tried releasing some new music after being dropped by Def Jam but none of his records managed to replicate the success of his debut. In fact, none of his work as a lead has made the charts after his debut single.

On the other hand, his collaborations with artists like August Alsina, ASAP Rocky, French Montana, Schoolboy Q, and ASAP Ferg has been certified Platinum.

When he was struggling to cope with his loss, he was called by his manager who told him that Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars wanted to use the line “don’t believe me, just watch,” from James’ song “All Gold Everything,” in their then-new project Uptown Funk.

He was given 8% royalty for the song and according to some online sources the song has earned him more than $150,000 since its release.
