Gorilla Zoe Net Worth $500,000
Gorilla started becoming known when he replaced Young Jeezy to be a part of Boyz n da Hood – the group is well known for their music called southern gangsta rap, and they collaborated with several artists from the same label. Zoe is seen in collaborations such as “Coffee Shop” and “Bottle Poppin” which were able to reach the Billboard charts. Eventually, he was signed as a solo artist for Bad Boy South and Block Entertainment, so his net worth was slowly improving.
The following year, he released his first single “Hood Figga”, which reached the 38th spot of the Billboard 100. The song led to his first solo album entitled “Welcome to the Zoo”, released in Ocotber 2007 and which peaked at the 18th spot of the Billboard 200, and reached the third spot of the Top Rap Albums. His popularity led to him being chosen for the XXL Freshmen cover in which he collaborated with Crooked I, Rich Boy, and Saigon. In 2008, he released the single “Lost” which promoted his second album “Don’t Feed da Animals” – the album sold 29,000 copies during its first week and reached eighth spot of the Billboard 200. He then released two more videos of the songs which are “What It Is” and “Echo”, adding to his wealth.
Since 2010, Gorilla has been working on mixtapes, releasing several through the website DatPiff.com. He has also released an EP entitled “I Am Atlanta 3” via iTunes. The following year, he released his third album “King Kong” but it wasn’t as successful as his first two albums, with it only reaching 56th spot of the Billboard 200 – the most successful song from the album is “What’s Goin’ On”. Zoe would take a two year break from music, then in 2014 released the mixtape “Recovery”. He also revealed that he’s signed to Flo Rida’s International Music Group.
Not much is known about Gorilla’s personal life; what is known is that he grew up in a neighborhood that had a lot of influences in rap music.
