The rapper revealed how much she banked from her Something’ ‘Bout Kreay debut album last year.

According to Kreayshawn, she only earned $0.01 from her debut album’s sales. The rapper, representing Oakland, took to Twitter to make light of her incredibly low earnings, sharing a picture of her PayPal account. Kreayshawn garnered major attention in 2011 with her overnight smash hit “Gucci Gucci,” which lead on to a major label deal with Columbia. Unfortunately for her, the album debuted at No. 112 on the Billboard 200 in its first week of release, making it the all-time lowest first week sales by an artist signed to a major record label, this according to HitsDailyDouble.

Kreay’s former White Girl Mob member Lil Debbie previously told SOHH she thought Kreay experimented too much on her debut.

“I’m going to keep it real. I really wasn’t surprised,” Deb told SOHH when asked for her reaction on Kreayshawn’s Somethin’ ‘Bout Kreay’s first-week sales. “I really wasn’t surprised. I think that what had happened was she came out with ‘Gucci Gucci’ and people really liked ‘Gucci Gucci’ and then I think she put out an album and she put too much random sh*t on the album. People couldn’t really tell who she was. I think it was just too different. You’re going to put out ‘Gucci Gucci’ and that’s great, and someone else is going to write it for you and it’s great, that’s how the music industry is but if you’re going to do that and do an album, then do it with the same person that did that ‘Gucci Gucci’ song for you. Or do an album that’s going to relate to the ‘Gucci Gucci’ song. I think she put ‘Gucci Gucci’ out and she sat around too long.” (SOHH)
