From portraying iconic figures like Jackie Robinson to bringing Marvel’s Black Panther to life, Chadwick Boseman’s talent was undeniable. His performances thrilled audiences worldwide, and his commitment to his craft ensured he left a memorable legacy despite his untimely passing. But what was the net worth of this dynamic actor in 2024 According to MovieMeter, it’s around $4 million US Dollars.
The Journey To $4 Million
The journey to $4 million wasn’t an overnight success story. Like many actors, Boseman paid his dues in more minor roles before landing more prominent parts. His breakout role came in 2013 when he played Jackie Robinson in the film 42. He then played James Brown in Get on Up and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall. These performances showcased Boseman’s versatility and talent, bringing him international recognition.

Boseman’s net worth significantly boosted with his role as King T’Challa, the Black Panther, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). He first debuted as the character in Captain America: Civil War before starring in the Black Panther movie. The latter grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide, catapulting Boseman into global stardom and significantly contributing to his $4 million net worth. He reprised the role in two Avengers movies, further cementing his place in Hollywood and adding to his wealth.

Boseman’s earnings did not stop with his untimely passing in 2020. Posthumous earnings from films like Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Da 5 Bloods continue to contribute to his net worth. Further, the continuing popularity of his Marvel films and the royalties from his film and television work keep adding to his estate.

While it’s easy to get caught up in the glamour of celebrity net worth, it’s essential to remember that these figures are more than just numbers. They represent the culmination of a celebrity’s hard work, talent, and dedication to their craft. In Boseman’s case, his $4 million net worth is a testament to his impactful performances and enduring legacy.
The Legacy Of Chadwick Boseman
More than his financial worth, Boseman’s value lies in his incredible talent and the legacy he left behind. He was more than just an actor; he was a role model and an inspiration to many. His powerful performances continue to resonate, and his portrayal of Black Panther has become a cultural icon. His impact on Hollywood and the world far exceeds any monetary value.
In conclusion, Chadwick Boseman’s net worth in 2024 is estimated to be around $4 million US Dollars. However, his unforgettable performances, commitment to his craft, and impact on audiences worldwide truly define his worth. Through his roles, he continues to inspire and will always be remembered as an actor who gave his all to his craft.
In 2023 we said goodbye to several music icons, including 96-year-old Harry Belafonte. The late recording artist was best known for “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song),” though he also contributed significantly to activist movements around the globe. His work was sampled on several occasions in popular hip-hop releases, and he continues to be recognized as one of the few Black creatives to achieve EGOT status. When it came time for the annual Grammy Awards this month, many expected to see the show pay tribute to Belafonte for all his contributions. Unfortunately for them, Belafonte only briefly came up during the “In Memoriam” segment but failed to give any further acknowledgment as we saw other artists receive.
“Love @itstonybennett Love @tinaturner Love @sinadeocconor. Why the @recordingacademy [chose] not to do a special tribute to you I will #never understand!” the legend’s daughter, Gina Belafonte wrote on Facebook earlier this week. “Here is my Grammy tribute to you dad! So many winners you’ve mentored! So many winners you shared your stage with. You are the winner @theharrybelafonte and we are better because of your contribution!” she continued, giving her late father his well-deserved flowers.
“Belafonte’s career breakthrough album Calypso (1956) was the first million-selling LP by a single artist,” Gina reminded readers online. As AllHipHop notes, another of Harry’s daughters, Shari Belafonte, aired her grievances with the Grammys too. “While no doubt, Tony Bennett and Tina Turner were special indeed, Harry contributed far more to society and the music industry than those two put together, in my humble opinion. The Grammys missed a major moment.”
Harry Belafonte isn’t the only celebrity who seemingly got snubbed by the Grammy Awards. SZA’s fanbase was outraged after the TDE signee missed out on taking home Album of the Year, but for her part, she’s taking the loss with grace. “Only way from up is higher,” she declared following the ceremony.

Though Juice WRLD is a name you might associate with melodies, that’s only a fraction of his songwriting and emotive talent. For example, watch any of his viral freestyles — such as an hour-long Tim Westwood juggernaut -– and you’ll see his penchant for sharp flows, wordplay, rhyme schemes, and charming references. But the Chicago native’s just as potent when pulling together a song concept or emotive focus, even when most of it’s still off the dome.
With that in mind, we compiled seven of his best verses across his solo catalog (features and freestyle lists may come further down the pipeline). To varying degrees, they represent the “Robbery” hitmaker’s honest, vulnerable, and nuanced portrayals of love, mental health struggles, addiction, and above all, a willingness to be a beacon of hope for those battling the same demons he faced.
Furthermore, Juice WRLD has so many great verses that missed the cut (“Lean Wit Me,” “Conversations,” “10 Feet,” and more were so close), but we want to highlight “Burn” and its second verse in particular. It’s based on a real-life experience in which his girlfriend Ally Lotti woke him up from a troubled dream. Apparently, the 999 leader told her that he never woke up from it. That aside, to determine this list, we looked at the late legend’s versatility, performance (flows, bars, etc.), emotional potency, and how concisely they represent his artistry.
“The Light” (Verse 1)
One of Juice WRLD’s most recent tracks became one of his most loving, committed, and comforting. It’s dedicated to Ally Lotti, and over bright guitars and a poppy drum beat, he speaks on how she’s been the one to ground him away from his battles. Sure, Juice acknowledges their path wasn’t perfect, yet despite these bumps, he expresses more assurance, loyalty, and care because of them. “I owe fines, the devil say I owe him for life / But I could feel it, I got God on my side / Remember when He sent you to me that night” and “Wouldn’t be real love without rough nights / Can’t feel these drugs, but I feel your eyes” are particularly powerful lines. Even though his work is typically perceived as more melancholy than most, “The Light” is… well, the title says it all.
How could we leave off the song that got most of us into this singular artistry? The metaphor of lucid dreaming on this cut’s sole verse became such a succinct representation of this track’s themes of heartbreak, 20/20 hindsight, and not wanting to let go of someone despite their toxicity. Across multiple flows and a dynamic vocal performance, Juice WRLD bluntly, but powerfully, wears his heart on his sleeve, which may be his most special and resonant quality as a musician. “I take prescriptions to make me feel a-okay / I know it’s all in my head” and “I didn’t want it to end / I watch it blow in the wind / I should’ve listened to my friends / Leave this s**t in the past, but I want it to last” crystallize his processing of these troubles, and it helped make “Lucid Dreams” one of the 2010s’ catchiest verses.
“Empty” (Verse 2)
This is another heavily melodic offering from Juice WRLD, but that patient pace and clarity make his second verse on “Empty” all the more powerful. Out of his entire catalog, he dedicated this record the most overtly to his fanbase and those he tried to help. Of course, lines like “I ain’t suicidal / Only thing suicide is suicide doors / Fight for survival,” plus “Yeah, I was put here to lead the lost souls / Exhale depression as the wind blows” sum this up pretty well. In that last line in particular, Juice suggests the expulsion of his aches will dissipate them. He always sought that freedom, and from its second verse’s top to its bottom, this cut inspires others to follow suit.
While this is by no means the most important or emotionally potent verse in Juice WRLD’s catalog, this recent verse is easily one of his most fun to listen to. Not only do his rhyme schemes, wordplay, narrations, and charismatically cheeky lines put a smile on your face, but his chemistry with Cordae is something to behold here. Meanwhile, it’s impossible to convey all the great bars here. “I smoke ten J’s with two h*es that go both ways / Funny how two plus two equals foreplay,” “This isn’t mumble, it’s murder rap / Type of s**t your grandma understand with her old a**,” “The hair trigger Brazilian, you would get your whole hood waxed,” “Beef with anybody, even if you vegetarian / My flow on ebola, your flow just need Claritin“… and so many more. This song is a Juice-loving hip-hop head’s dream.
“Rich And Blind” (Verse 1)
Juice WRLD dedicated this song to XXXTENTACION and Lil Peep, who sadly passed away due to violence and drug use, respectively. This track– and “Legends,” too– see him reckon with these losses and ponder his own mortality. “I know I have a purpose, but I don’t see the purpose / They tell me the death of me gon’ be the Perkys / I know they laced pills, I bought them on purpose” and “I promise y’all I’m finna touch the world, yeah, I’ma touch the Earth / But hold on, your girl on my line, I think I may just f**k her first / Yeah, gotta have some crude humor/ Just to keep a good vibe going, keep the song grooving” are particular heartbreakers. “Rich And Blind” aged tragically, but few tribute tracks in the 2010s were as gut-wrenching and hauntingly self-aware.
When Juice WRLD ends this song with the line “Who am I to say that this ain’t one of my best verses?“, we truly believe him. From a pure flow and rhyme scheme perspective, this is one of his most impressive while retaining what makes his craft universally beloved. Juice tells his come-up story and delivers one of the most recovery-focused and confident pen performances of his entire career so early on. “Oxycodone got me sewed up, gotta remain focused / And these groupie h*es bogus, everybody knows it / But they turn me to a poet with the love commotion” and “[My momma] sent me Bible verses / Then I got distracted by some nudes from a sex worker / Who am I to not text back? That’s networking / Who am I to lie about my life? I know the truth hurts” cut like a knife.
“Juice WRLD Speaks 2”
Finally, “Juice WRLD Speaks 2,” one of his most recent and unique tracks, sums up what makes him so captivating. Jarad Anthony Higgins tackles his haters, his origin story, fake rappers, his substance abuse, his artistic mission, and so much more here, with a measured flow that no other song of his showcases and a drumless, somber, but peaceful instrumental. However, sharp lines still crack through: “Bunch of these n***as is my sons / I apologize to ’em ’cause I been a bad parent,” “I got a way with words, like I’m running with a phonics book / In school I didn’t do the homework but I still got the subjects / Money ain’t the object, money is the objective, gotta admit that,” and plenty more.
Most importantly, Juice WRLD takes accountability for his commitment to making others’ lives better. He even calls on his hip-hop peers to do the same, all with a focus and calmness that he rarely exhibits so tenderly. No matter what pulls you into Juice’s world, this lone, long verse has something for you to resonate with. It’s a powerful moment that arrived a couple of years after its recording, and that will offer solace to listeners for many more to come. LLJW.
It’s always hard to hear about young people losing their lives to senseless gun violence. When those crimes are also committed by underage Americans, emotions run even higher. The latest upsetting case to make the news comes out of Atlanta. There, 16-year-old Lil Purk and his co-defendants were sentenced for the murder of two boys – one 12, the other 15 – outside Atlantic Station in November 2022. As 11Alive News reports, four other individuals suffered injuries as a result of the incident. In total, five of the seven who were arrested have entered guilty pleas for violating the city’s Street Gang Act.
Purk was taken into custody by the Atlanta Police Department just days after the deadly shooting. For now, the other teens accused of killing the innocent locals remain anonymous. We do know that one was previously apprehended in New York and that they’ve been described as “shooters.” Before landing himself in this career-halting situation, Purk was growing a following thanks to his rhyming skills. “Walkem Down” went viral online, bringing in upwards of one million streams on Spotify. His debut project, Before The Fame, hit DSPs last year, only helping to grow his audience.
Lil Purk Sentencing Puts Him Behind Bars For Two Decades

“To all my family and fans I would like to sincerely apologize to y’all and to all the younger generation looking up to me,” he wrote in a statement on Instagram addressing his sentencing. “Let me and my situation be a lesson learned for our whole generation. Everything not what it seem and I’m still pleading my innocence. I love you lil hot and to the families hurt by this situation forgive me also still keeping faith alive 43va.”
Elsewhere in the world of crime and hip-hop, a recent delay in the YSL RICO trial is pushing Young Thug’s attorney to fight for a motion to dismiss the long-spanning case against his client. The So Much Fun rapper has been in jail for over a year and a half awaiting his fate now, with no end in sight at this time. Read the latest updates from Fulton County at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
The hip-hop world is a place where untimely deaths are tragically common, whether they be a result of gun violence or substance abuse. One of the most heartbreaking losses to fall into the latter category in recent years was DMX, who died in 2021 after a heart attack that came following a cocaine overdose. He was just 50 years old at the time, leaving behind an astounding 17 children and a musical legacy like no other.
Obviously, one of X’s best-known titles is the Swizz Beatz-produced “Party Up,” an anthem known to make any function rowdy. Not only is the beat sure to get a crowd dancing and jumping, but the late lyricist’s ferocious bars will also incite hunger in others too. “Off the chain, I leave ni**as soft in the brain / ‘Cause ni**as still want the fame off the name,” he spits on the second verse. “First of all, you ain’t rapped long enough / To be f**king with me, and you, you ain’t strong enough,” the New Yorker says afterward as his confidence grows.
Today (December 18) marks what would’ve been DMX’s 53rd birthday. Many of his children are posting about their late father on social media to keep his memory alive. Meanwhile, we’re playing throwbacks and looking back on all the insightful knowledge the Belly actor dropped on us throughout his prolific life.
Revisit some of DMX’s most famous bars from “Party Up” in the visual above. If the throwback isn’t already a staple in your workout playlist, make sure to add it on Spotify/Apple Music.

Losing a family member is never easy, and for many parents, one of their biggest hopes in life is for their children to outlive them. Such unfortunately wasn’t the case for Jeffrey and Lionel Dahmer as the notorious killer lost his life in a 1994 prison stabbing. The former wound up behind bars after he was found guilty of murdering, dismembering and cannibalizing at least 17 men between the years of 1978 and 1991. Lionel’s son was condemned by the public. Through it all, his father stood by his side, making the world gain a better understanding of what life is really like for those struggling with mental illness.
Before and after Jeff’s death, the Dahmer family patriarch spoke with public figures like Dr. Phil and Oprah to help others hopefully develop empathy for the convicted murderer. As TMZ reports, the father-son duo came together to do an MSNBC interview while the younger of the two was serving his 15 consecutive life terms. It’s obvious that he would’ve spent the rest of his life in prison had he survived Christopher Scarver’s stabbing.
Still, Lionel put non-stop focus into helping Jeffrey redeem his public image as much as possible. The elder Dahmer was 87 when he passed today (December 5) in a Medina County, Ohio hospice centre. At this time, the exact cause of his death remains unknown, but we’ll surely keep you in the know as more updates come.
Jeffrey Dahmer’s name has spent plenty of time in the mainstream news these past few years, largely thanks to Ryan Murphy’s series depicting the serial killer’s heinous crime. Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is available for streaming on Netflix, with Evan Peters playing the cannibal and Richard Jenkins channelling his father. Reactions online were all over, but the limited series undeniably shed necessary light on an unforgettable story. Thanks to the hype, his infamous glasses went on sale for a huge number, which you can read more about at the link below. RIP Lionel.

Albums like Private Dancer and Break Every Rule broke barriers and set records, earning her multiple Grammy Awards and the title “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Turner’s music, infused with a spirit of defiance and liberation, resonates as a symbol of empowerment.

Reflecting on Tina Turner’s illustrious career, it’s clear her $250 million net worth is but one aspect of her rich legacy. More than financial success, Turner’s true value lies in her enduring influence on music and culture. Her journey, marked by an unyielding spirit, continues to inspire generations. Turner’s legacy transcends monetary value, residing in the hearts and souls she has touched with her timeless music and extraordinary life.
Just days after the first anniversary of Takeoff’s tragic passing due to senseless gun violence, another rapper has allegedly lost their life. On Saturday (November 4) afternoon, reports of Tallahassee native NFL TueWop’s death began circulating across various hip-hop blogs. The rising star has fallen victim to gun violence in his hometown, according to the earliest updates, though we’re still waiting for further details to paint a more complete picture.
The late Southern star’s most popular work comes from collaborating with Kodak Black on last year’s Kutthroat Bill: Vol. 1 album. The pair joined forces on “Ammunition,” which has amassed upwards of 1.5 million streams on Spotify since dropping. On his own accord, TueWop had a particularly busy 2022, sharing a five-track EP called Last Soulja’s Left, followed by a single called “FreeTrappa.” Before meeting his demise this year, he delivered “Ruff N Rugged,” “Kut That Bricc” with GoldenBoy CountUp, and another short but seriously fire EP.
NFL TueWop Alleged Victim of Fatal Shooting in His Hometown

The last release to land on TueWop’s Spotify profile was his seven-track album from July of this year. On that, he connected with Dufflebagshotz, ProfessorGeek23, JakeJhitt8x, and Zaybostunna. Besides making waves with his musical work, the rapper is also known for having exposed Real Boston Richey’s (a fellow Florida-born artist signed to Future’s Freebandz) alleged snitching, which caused tension between them in the past. At this time it remains unclear if that beef is tied to TueWop’s rumoured passing, but investigators are sure to be exploring all their leads over the coming weeks.
Kodak Black’s health has been a cause for concern among his fans in recent months, particularly after the “Love & War” artist’s appearance on Drink Champs. Despite assuring social media followers that he’s doing fine, we can’t help but worry how he’ll fare when hearing the news of NFL TueWop’s tragic death.

Richard Roundtree was a Hollywood legend. The actor was best known for his role as private detective John Shaft in the 1971 movie Shaft and its sequels. Importantly, Roundtree came to be widely recognized as the first Black action hero in Hollywood for his portrayal of Shaft. Sadly, on October 24, 2023, the prolific actor passed away due to pancreatic cancer.
Roundtree died at home in Los Angeles, according to his manager, Patrick McMinn, who informed The Hollywood Reporter. He had previously battled breast cancer in 1993 and recovered after a double mastectomy. Roundtree lived up to 81 years and, throughout his lifetime, enjoyed a successful career in film and television. However, that does not soften the blow of his passing. While fans celebrate his life and career, they also mourn the death of the icon.
The Rise Of Richard Roundtree

Roundtree, born on July 9, 1942, was an acclaimed actor. While in high school, Roundtree was a proficient football player. However, he never went pro with it, choosing instead to go in a completely different direction with his career. After high school, he went on to attend Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois. However, Roundtree’s stay there was short-lived, as he dropped out at 19 to pursue his acting career. Although his journey in the entertainment industry began with modeling in 1963, he eventually transitioned into acting.
The Works Of Richard Roundtree
Roundtree was a prolific actor; his extensive filmography is a testament to that statement. Throughout his career, his appearances in film and TV showcased his versatility. He starred in many films, including City Heat (1984), Se7en (1995), Brick (2005), and all five installments in the Shaft series (1971 – 2019). In addition to his work in film, Roundtree made notable TV appearances as well. He starred in popular series like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990 – 1996), Desperate Housewives (2004 – 2005), Heroes (2006 – 2007), and The Closer (2005) among others.
A Cultural Icon

Roundtree made his first film appearance in the 1970 movie What Do You Say to a Naked Lady? It didn’t take long for him to rise to prominence afterward. Just a year after his film debut, he bagged his first lead role, portraying John Shaft in the iconic movie Shaft. The actor excellently embodied the persona of the tough and suave private detective. Consequently, Roundtree’s performance in the action film catapulted him to fame and immediately solidified his status as a leading man. Additionally, it made him a symbol of the Blaxploitation era, a cultural movement in American cinema that aimed to portray Black characters in leading roles.
His success in playing Detective Shaft also helped significantly in breaking barriers for Black actors in Hollywood. Richard Roundtree has been a cultural icon since the first Shaft movie was released, and deservedly so. Unsurprisingly, his impact extends beyond Hollywood. Upon the film’s release, he became a symbol of empowerment for Black audiences. He provided representation and a positive image of Black people at a time when such portrayals were limited in mainstream media.
Richard Roundtree’s significance in the entertainment industry, especially for Black actors, cannot be overstated. His longevity in the entertainment world served as a testament to his talent and the lasting impact he made on the film industry and society as a whole. Even in death, the legacy of Richard Roundtree will continue to go on. Moreover, he will always be remembered and revered as a trailblazer.
Unfortunately for music lovers, another pioneer of hip-hop has lost their lives far too soon. On Monday (October 23), TMZ shared the sad news of Paul Costict’s death, which reportedly happened unexpectedly at his home in Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday. A family member told the outlet that the 57-year-old’s cause of death is unclear at this time, though he was in good spirits during a phone call earlier on in the week. It’s worth mentioning that the B-Rock and The Bizz member recently dealt with an illness, though we’re not sure if that will be connected to his death in the long run.
Costict’s music career was relatively short, as his group became a one-hit wonder thanks to the success of “My Baby Daddy.” It landed back in 1997 and ultimately went on to peak at No. 10 on the Billboard chart at the time. Prior to his passing, the artist saw the single certified gold, though it went on to cause him some problems on an episode of Divorce Court.
Revisit B-Rock and The Bizz’s “My Baby Daddy” in Honour of Paul Costict
Costict found himself in a dispute with his ex-wife, Lasancious, over his commemorative RIAA plaque, which she wanted to hold onto during their separation. Besides his musical contributions to B-Rock and The Bizz, the deceased previously worked as a road manager for the group. His fellow band member, Thaddeus “T-Bird” Maye told TMZ he’ll remember Paul as “a very funny and Kool brother.” The two grew up together in Alabama, and enjoyed the time they spent together creating.
Even though posthumous releases are nice in thought, they rarely hit the same as music shared straight from the source. It’s unlikely we’ll hear more from Paul Costict, but we’re continuing to see others who have been laid to rest surpassing impressive milestones musically. Read the latest achievement from XXXTentaction at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates. RIP Paul Costict.
