Rashard Ballard was a good student, but he had the dream of becoming a rapper from around the time when he was nine years old. Turns out his dream was meant to come true, as Chuckee was discovered by Lil Wayne via a video-shoot contest, and became the youngest rapper signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money Label after joining the Young Money Entertainment group in 2009. Guided by his famous mentor, Lil Chuckee had dropped five mixtapes by the age of sixteen and appeared in over 35 music videos. He was also a member of the rap duet Young Hot BOYZ, performing with Lil Twist. In 2012, Rashard performed in the BET Hip-Hop Awards, together with Lil Niqo and Lil Waah.

After leaving the Young Money in 2013, he began his own solo career. Release of the mix tape “Leborn of My Time“ in 2013 and “Overdue” in 2014 made him the author of seven mix tapes, which is a great result for such a young guy. Moreover, he has co-worked with other successful artists, such as Yo Gotti, 2 Chainz, Justin Bieber, Mr. Tony Elite and has released collaboration remixes. No doubt that Chuckee can associate his net worth to his musical career starting from a very early age and successfully spanning until the present day.

In his personal life, the Ballard family’s house in New Orleans was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, so the rapper had to move to Atlanta with his family. After this catastrophe, Lil Chuckee has performed in 250 shows for Hurricane Katrina victims as charity work. Later he established his own charity company in New Orleans, called S.O.C.K. (Save Our Community Kids). Unquestionably, this kind of activity has helped him to accidentally create quite a reputation, which is not very ordinary for hip hop artists.

Lil Chuckee’s nickname references the doll from the Child’s Play movies. His private life is quite mysterious since rapper has officially dated only one model and a member of the dance group The Twerk team, supposedly when he was 15 years old and, strangely, the model was twenty years old so even that one romance didn‘t look very promising. Moreover, there have been rumors that the young artist’s father is successful businessman, and rapper Bird. However, articles about Lil Chuckee accusing Bird for molestation were all over the internet.

According to sources, it has been estimated that Lil Troy’s overall net worth is $300,000, acquired through a singing career which started in the mid 1990s, building his name among the Houston rap scene. Since he is still active in the music industry, his wealth continues to grow.

Before emerging on the hip-hop/rap scene, Troy earned money as a drug dealer, using the money he obtained to fund his music business, founding Short Stop Records in 1988. However, his first notable success came when he joined the Mass187 group in 1995, whose song “Gangsta Strut” was featured on the local radio. Unfortunately, this led to him being convicted of using a communications device to commit a felony, and he was then sentenced to 18 months in prison, served in Beaumont, Texas.

Despite this setback, Lil Troy continued to make music and featured with numerous members of Houston’s rap scene during the ‘90s. With his hit single “Wanna Be a Baller”, which was produced by Bruce “Grim” Rhodes, Troy reached no.70 on the Billboard Hot 100, and then launched his debut album “Sittin’ Fat Down South”. The album turned out to be pretty successful, as it entered the Top 25 albums on the Billboard 200, thanks to which he was signed by Universal Music Group, which re-released the album a year later, this time distributing it worldwide, so “Sittin’ Fat Down South” was certified platinum by the RIAA as it sold almost two million copies. In 2001, Troy released his second album called “Back to Ballin”, this time by Short Stop Records, which reached no.24 on U.S. hip hop charts but failed to achieve the success of the previous one. His last album so far, “Paperwork”, came out in 2006.

Apart from his music career, Lil Troy also appeared in three movies: Back to Ballin’ (2003), “Hustletown Mobbin’”(2003) and “Diggin’ for Dollars”(2004), adding to his net worth.

In 2006 he also released a clothing line, which consisted of contemporary, upscale and casual clothes by his design.

His more recent activity apparently involves Troy working as a contractor for an Industrial Construction Company in Houston.

When it comes to his private life, Lil Troy manages to keep it away from the public, so not much information is shared, other than that he now lives in Houston..
