Emily Ratajkowski’s High Low podcast has welcomed a roster of impressive guests since launching last year. Among them are Diplo, Law Roach, Iggy Azalea, Amber Rose, and, most recently, Bhad Bhabie. The Florida native spoke with the mother of one in today’s (April 25) episode. As expected, she dished on everything from her unhealthy relationship with her mother to her controversial OnlyFans account, which she says she’s earned over $50 million from.
The “Gucci Flip Flops” hitmaker charges $23.99/month for a subscription, and while she’s made a pretty penny thanks to her NSFW content, she cautions others that they likely won’t find the same success so easily. “It’s situational. I was kept covered up for so long, right, with how they were making me dress and shit. And I was young. It’s creepy but at the same time…18 is 18. That’s what they said it was, so that’s what they said it was,” Bhabie – born Danielle Bregoli – told Ratajkowski. At the same time, she said that her mom “don’t care where [the money] comes from,” she just loves to have it.
According to the 19-year-old, Barbara Bregoli has narcissistic tendencies. “You know narcissists, they like a crowd figuratively and literally they like a crowd,” she said when recalling her appearance on Dr. Phil at age 13 that sparked Bhabie’s initial rise to fame. After talking to the TV personality about her attitude problem, the young girl was sent to Turn-About Ranch in Escalante, Utah, where she says she was forced to sleep “in a sleeping bag on a hard wooden plank” inside a teepee. The rap diva spent six months there, and once she returned, she realized how popular she had become online while she was away.
“Imagine you get home from being in this f*cking f*cked up place for f*cking six months and then you open your phone and go on Facebook and all you see is yourself, and you’re 13,” she ranted in today’s episode. Elsewhere, the OF content creator discussed her experience with plastic surgery, as well as her dislike of confrontation. Stream Bhad Bhabie’s full appearance on Emily Ratajkowski’s High Low podcast exclusively on Spotify below. Afterward, tell us who you’d like the model to interview in a future episode in the comments.
At just 20 years old, Bhad Bhabie is living a life that most can only dream of. While she got her start from an appearance on Dr. Phil during which the TV personality attempted to correct her bad attitude, the young entertainer has since come a long way. Not only has she collaborated with the likes of Lil Yachty, Kodak Black, and Lil Baby musically, but she’s also made some serious cash thanks to her OnlyFans profile, where she sells salacious content to thirsty fans. Outside of that, Bhabie’s love life has also been thriving – so much so, in fact, that she and her boyfriend recently tattooed each other’s names.
As TMZ reports, photos are surfacing online of the “Gucci Flip Flops” artist’s latest ink. It’s a chest piece in bright red ink, which spells out her man’s name, “LeVaughn,” above her breast. Aside from that, Danielle Bregoli also sat through another decently sized session, this one adding “1111” in the same colour on her shoulder, located right beside her famous butterfly neck tattoo. It seems the numerical ink is also a tribute to Bhabie’s beau, who took a photo of her new additions for his Instagram Story, writing, “Scorpio 11:11 [if you know you know].”
Of course, LeVaughn also got some ink in honour of BB. For his part, he allowed an artist to write “Danielle Marie,” the rap diva’s first and middle name, across his neck in elegant cursive script. As expected, online trolls are slamming the Florida native over giving her man such a serious commitment, but she’s since made it clear that she’s not bothered by their opinions. “I love that man whether y’all like it or not, y’all gonna talk regardless,” Bhabie told the internet.
Elsewhere in the news, the internet star celebrated her 20th birthday just last month, at which time a controversial video of her twerking on her mom began making rounds across social media. See that for yourself here, and keep scrolling to check out Bhad Bhabie’s tattoo collection. Afterward, tell us which of her pieces is your favourite in the comments below.
Rising to fame in 2016 when she first appeared on the hit show, Dr. Phil, Danielle Bergoli, 19, also known as “Bhad Bhabie” quickly gained the likes of young teens when she gave no remorse for being exactly who she is. Her iconic quote “Cash me outside, how ‘bout that?” is what launched her career, as many people took her side in the drama between her and her mother, Barbara Ann Bergoli when she brought Bhad Bhabie on the show to discuss her daughter’s disrespect and criminal manner at home.
At Age 13, Bhad Bhabie Faced Grand Theft Auto Charges
On the show, Dr. Phil runs through the many storms Bhad Bhabie has caused at home. At the time she was 13 years oldfacing grand theft auto charges. Not only that, but Bhabie had tried to frame her mom as a drug dealer. She stole thousands of dollars from her family, physically assaulted her mom, and when Dr. Phil’s crew arrived to film at her home, Bhad Bhabie stole a crew member’s vehicle. Dr. Phil can be heard telling Bad Bhabie, “I’m your worst nightmare, girl” during their television interview, as he tries to break down the complex of the future rapper.
Bhad Bhabie Is Forced To Retreat Or Jail
Bhad Bhabie’s mom describes her daughter to Dr. Phil as, “extremely provocative” and that she’s “at the end of the road” after her middle-school dropout daughter had been arrested a handful of times all before the age of 13. Though Barbara was looking to put an end to the violent misbehavior, Bad Bhabie instead, extends her anger and street demeanor to Dr. Phil when he tries to set her straight before sending her to a wilderness program called “Turn-About Ranch” instead of serving time in jail for grand theft auto.
She Signed With Atlantic Records
The therapy that Dr. Phil tried to instill into Bhad Bhabie did have some influence on the troubled teen, moreover, he actually gave her the leverage that she never knew she needed to regain focus on respect and hard work. Actually, Bhad Bhabie was just getting started. Even though the world had no idea of her musical talent when she premiered on Dr. Phil, Bhad Bhabie soon gained momentum online from her striking personality, ultimately leading her to sign a record deal with Atlantic Records.
In 2017, Bhad Bhabie became the youngest female rapper to chart on Billboard Hot 100 with her debut single, These Heaux. A year later, Bhad Bhabie would release her first EP, 15, and again topped other artist’s releases with her single, Hi Bitch, which appeared 68 on Billboard Hot 100 and became platinum in 2020. And when Fuse asked Bhad Bhabie about wanting to be a rapper, she responded with, “I always loved music, but I don’t think there was ever anything in me that was like, ‘you’re gonna be a rapper one day.’ I wanted to be a nurse, I wanted to be in medicine. Something about taking care of people.”
Bhad Bhabie Makes Over $50 Million On OnlyFans
As of late, the rapper can be found on OnlyFans where she broke the internet after earning over $50 million dollars since she created the account. And when she turned 18 in 2021, Bhad Bhabie made over $1 million within the first 6 hours of launching herselfon the intimate platform. Though she agrees that most of her followers should be in jail for their requests and behaviors, Bhad Bhabie continues to work the NSFW (not safe for work) platform and isin the top .01% of its highest earners.
When discussing her OnlyFans platform and its success, Bhad Bhabie shared a video released by TMZ saying, “Call me the youngest female of the decade to go platinum. Call me s*** like that. Like, there’s way more things — Call me the ‘Gucci Flip Flops’ girl, the ‘Hi Bich” girl, the girl who got a f***ing million-dollar makeup deal, the girl who made over f***ing $50 million on OnlyFans.” In continuing, “Call me whatever you want. When you try to find a way to be annoying about something, it’s just kind of weird.”
As for her home life, Bhad Bhabie recently rewarded herself for her hard work in not only the business world, but for her work on herself, and bought a $6.1 million home in Florida…in cash,which is quite the way to live up to her “cash me outside” persona.
Here are her biggest public feuds.
1. Woah Vicky
When online personally Woah Vicky released a diss track against RiceGum, Bhad Bhabie felt it was distasteful and took to the streets to clap back on multiple occasions at the many insults against the YouTuber, and sheer disrespect against Bhad Bhabie. The two female teens end up fighting in a video released by Dj Akademiks where Woah Vicky can be seen holding Bhad Bhabie down by her hair without letting her go for far too long. The two have settled down since their 2019 Atlanta brawl, but if given the chance to square up again, the two would likely repossess their hatred for one another, as Bad Bhabie isn’t usually one to back down.
2. Skai Jackson
Though “dating” NBA Younboy was never confirmed by Bhad Bhabie, she did share multiple posts online about her love for the rapper and vice versa. She even went as far as getting his birth name, “Kentrell” tattooed on the side of her hand in a rather large script. But when Disney star Skai Jackson expressed interest in Bhad Bhabie’s best friend, NBA Youngboy, the two females had a feud that extended to Jackson filing a restraining order against Bhad Bhabie when she threatened the actress’ life.
When Iggy Azalea questioned her friend on why they would ever attend a Bhad Bhabie concert, Bhad Bhabie confronted Azalea inside a club where she threw water on the singer multiple times before the altercation ended in person. Though Bhad Bhabie was only 15 at the time, to no surprise, she held her own when comments started spewing about the incident, as she had the facts and accolades to back herself up against Azalea dissing the rapper and her talent.
4. Billie Eilish
After rapper XXXTentation passed away in 2018, Ellish began DMing Bhad Bhabie to console her, as X was Bhad Bhabie’s close friend. Ellish gained the adolescent’s trust and then ghosted her for no reason, and even went as far as nicknaming Bhad Bhabie her “baby sister” during their friendship before it ended. Bhad Bhabie remarked on the unreasonable diss from Ellish in an interview with ET saying, “I just feel like either someone got into her ear about me and made her think that I was a bad person.” In continuing, “Or she was getting too big to where she didn’t want to associate herself with my brand. And that’s perfectly fine, I understand that, but it sucks when you have a friend, and they just disappear.” Leaving Bhad Bhabie in the dark. It’s unknown if the two have reconciled.
5. David Spade
Though he would later make a cameo in Bhad Bhabie’s music video for Gucci Flip Flops, in 2017 actor He posted a photo of him and Bhad Bhabie inside a restaurant where the two ran into one another. However, Spade captioned the picture saying, “Unfortunately, she stopped being famous 5 minutes before this was taken.” Bhad Bhabie clapped back in an epic comeback saying she thought the comedian was a waiter. Though the two are unlikely to dispute again due to connecting on a few occasions since their discourse, Bad Bhabie certainly has no problem with standing her ground against anymore, man or woman.
After she checked herself into rehab in 2020 for PTSD and a prescription pill addiction, she then took to the internet to begin her OnlyFans, ultimately allowing the teen to retire basically any day now as her online earrings far outreach that of what she’d make in a record deal. Though Bhad Bhabie is headed towards bettering her health. She opened up to Fuse saying, “I feel like, I will always get my little attitudes, I will always get my little temper-tantrums, but I’ve definitely matured.”
Bhad Bhabie Launches Her Own Record Label, BHAD Music
Despite continuing to embody her ‘bad b**ch’ persona, in 2021 she launched her own record label, BHAD Music, in hopes of creating a safe space for artists that also allow them to own their masters
. In talking about her new business venture, Bhad Bhabie tells Variety,“Signing a deal when you aren’t established, artists don’t really understand that labels get to approve you doing features and have basically total control on when and if your music comes out. Not to mention they keep like 80% of all the money that comes in. It’s pretty f***ed up. … I’m finally ready to put out music I want on my own terms.” In continuing, “I’m going to just put out my own music on my label, but I am open to signing other artists. I have a platform to help launch them, and I want them to be able to own their masters as well.” What can’t Bhad Bhabie do?
In the time since she caught the world’s attention on Dr. Phil in the fall of 2016, Danielle Bregoli has shown a ton of growth. The Florida-born entertainer was firstly known for having a smart, landing her in plenty of trouble. Now, however, she’s been channelling her energy into making music, creating content on OnlyFans, and forging friendships with other women in the industry.
As it turns out, the “Gucci Flip Flops” artist seems to have become close with a former lover of Young Thug‘s, Jerrika Karlae. During a 2018 interview, the social media starlet told Paper magazine that she’s a fan of Bhabie. “She made right of her wrongs,” Thugger’s ex previously explained. Since then we haven’t heard much about the two entertainers, though they seem to have forged a strong bond behind the scenes as the 19-year-old recently got a tattoo of Karlae’s name.
Bhabie Flaunts Her Fresh Ink
@bhadbhabie/Instagram Story
On Sunday (February 24), Bhabie’s Instagram Story lit up with a photo showing off the latest addition to her arm. “Jerrika” appears on the back of her wrist in a cursive font, sitting pretty below a “1933” in Old English. Other small pieces of ink in the same area include a butterfly on her hand, and what appears to be the Bratz logo wrapping around her thumb.
Bregoli tagged Karlae in the post, though she either hasn’t seen it yet or opted not to repost it on her own Story. From the looks of her feed, the fashionista appears to be tattoo free herself, and it remains unclear if she plans to get one dedicated to Bhabie. In the same Paper interview, Karlae gave SZA and Nicki Minaj their flowers as well, though neither of them appear to have gone so far as getting ink dedicated to her quite yet.
Elsewhere on social media, Bhabie’s posts have continued to raise eyebrows. Her IG feed remains relatively quiet, but over on Twitter, she spent some time this past weekend expressing her feelings for Chief Keef. In one post on Saturday (February 25) evening, she asked her followers to go tell the “Love Sosa” hitmaker that she’s sorry and that she loves him.
Less than an hour later, she returned with another tweet. “He hate me, it’s cool tho. Imma [be] back,” Bhabie wrote, seemingly referring to her situation with Keef. Read what else the young recording artist had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
To car lovers, vehicles can almost feel like children. It’s easy to form emotional attachments to them, particularly the luxury models, as they carry you through monumental parts of life. Earlier this weekend, Bhad Bhabie had to say a tragic goodbye to her first-ever whip after totalling it in an accident.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, the “Gucci Flip Flops” hitmaker shared a photo of the black car. Its front passenger end is obviously destroyed. Through the windshield, the airbag is visible after deploying to protect passengers.

“I’m beyond devastated,” Bhabie wrote to her millions of followers in the caption. “My first car totalled and over with. If the car wasn’t so heavy, Tilan would probably [be] dead,” she revealed, speaking on her close friend and skin care specialist, @tilan_milan.
She went on to say, “This was my first car accident and I’m still shook up. [I] don’t even wanna get in a car ever again. This experience sure showed me who really give [a f*ck] and who don’t!”
“Thank God I wasn’t driving [because] I wouldn’t have [known] what [the f*ck] to do,” her post concluded. It remains unclear who was in control of the vehicle at the time of the incident. However, it does sound like all patrons thankfully made it out without injuries.
As we previously mentioned, the upload is no longer available on Bhabie’s Instagram feed. On her Story, however, some new messages have appeared for fans and haters.
“First of all, I delete all my [posts] all the time, y’all just looking for a reason,” she began ranting over a black screen. “But anyways, my bad. Forgot I need to keep y’all out my business [because] everything I tell y’all is just a gateway for y’all to drag me. Shit is weird!!!”
On a second slide, she continued, “My [posts] have been deleted, y’all just don’t pay attention [facepalm emoji.”

After her childhood stint on Dr. Phil, Bhad Bhabie has gone on to make a name for herself thanks to various personal endeavours. Her rap career has brought in some fans, but it’s the Florida native’s OnlyFans that really got the world talking.
Earlier this month, the controversial starlet shared her thoughts on those who subscribed to her NSFW paid page on her 18th birthday. Read everything she had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture updates.
An interview from last month is making the rounds today (January 10) after Sundae Conversation with Danielle Bregoli reshared highlights on TikTok. The outrageous interviews often steal attention, much like the chit-chat with controversial social media personality Bregoli or Bhad Bhabie. The 19-year-old first gained fame as a troubled child with an attitude on Dr. Phil, but these days, she’s making millions with OnlyFans content.
As soon as Bregoli turned 18 years old, she and her team immediately launched her OnlyFans content. She reportedly posed in lingerie and later would add other models to her video and photo shoots.

Quickly, the public pushed back on the popularity of Bregoli’s OF page because of her age. Some argued that for those first photos to be accessible, Bregoli would have had to be underage when she posed for the racy shoots.
When she sat down with Sundae Conversation, the rapper answered questions related to her career, some silly, but it was mentioned that she joined OnlyFans the day she turned 18.
“People subscribed right away?” she was asked, to which she answered, “Yeah.” Then, the question was raised, “Should they be in jail?” Bregoli responded “yeah” to that, as well.
While the masses seem to agree, Bregoli has been criticized for this newly circulating clip. The artist previously boasted about making tens of millions from OnlyFans alone, so many people were unamused with her wanting people jailed while taking their money.
Beyond the pushback, Bregoli has also used her voice to call attention to alleged abuses at the Turn-About Ranch in Utah. The purported rehabilitation center for troubled youth has come under fire after allegations of mental and physical abuse surfaced from former attendees.
Following her controversial stint on Dr. Phil, Bregoli was sent to the location. She detailed kids being forcibly detained, deprived of food and sleep, and staff ignoring complaints of bullying.
Watch Bhad Bhabie’s clip from Sundae Conversation above.
Young Thug’s currently incarcerated but if he never gets the chance to release another rap record, his impact on hip-hop will likely reverberate throughout the genre for the rest of his life and beyond. He’s influenced an entire generation — a generation that includes controversial Florida rapper and social media personality Bhad Bhabie of “catch me outside” fame, who called him the GOAT rapper in a new episode of Complex’s Goat Talk. The Florida rapper also gave her picks for sneakers, reality shows, movies, and more.
Pulling cards that asked for her GOAT in multiple categories, she enthusiastically used Thugger’s full government name when she came to the GOAT rapper card, leaning back to show off how she “got his f*cking lyrics tatted on the back of my leg.” “I’ll fight about it all day,” she vows. In addition, when the GOAT album card came up, she continued the Thug love fest, taking a moment to think about it before deciding. “I was gonna give it to Barter 6,” she admits, citing the 2015 mixtape named in homage to Lil Wayne. “But I have to give it to Slime Season 3, just because of ‘Worth It.’” Released the year after Barter 6, Slime Season 3 debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, which of course featured the fan-favorite Valentine’s Day anthem, “Worth It.”
You can watch the full episode above.
Young Thug is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
When social media star turned rapper Bhabie Bhabie bragged that she’s earned over $50 million from OnlyFans since starting her account a little over a year ago, there were plenty of people who expressed doubt online. The 19-year-old, who basically lives on social media, has since responded to her skeptics, posting receipts on Instagram that show that while her net income from the site is less than $50 million figure, it’s not far off — and her gross profits are indeed well over it before OnlyFans takes its cut.
Of course, those figures are pretty much in line with the totals that she boasted when she started the account in April 2021, just days after her 18th birthday. She said that in the first six hours, she’d accumulated over $750,000 in subscriptions and $250,000 from message payments, giving her $1,000,000 on her first day. While that kind of earning was likely unsustainable long-term, a year later, she’s made a little under a million a week, proving that whatever people say about her, plenty of them are willing to pay to follow her antics.
Even if they weren’t, she has plenty of other revenue streams besides OnlyFans and music, including her investments in a dating app alongside her mentor Lil Yachty. Bhad Bhabie may still be a controversial figure six years after her viral moment on Dr. Phil, but no one can say she hasn’t made the most of her humble, meme-ready beginnings.
