Fabolous, produced John David Jackson on November 18, 1977, is an American Hip-Hop artist from Brooklyn, Ny. Those singles and more, as well as successful records and film appearances, have earned this rap star vast amounts over the course of his career. Fabolous now has one son named Johan Jackson by his long-time girlfriend and stylist Emily Bustamante. As a high school senior, Fabolous turned to Hip Hop for a way from his brutal living conditions. He was eventually invited to perform on DJ Hints popular radio show on Hot 97. This got him the recognition and exposure he wanted.
Fabolous Net Worth $23 Million
He got to work immediately by offering his talents to numerous DJ Hints mixtapes and by collaborating with well known musicians of Roc-A-Fella Records. Fabolouss first album, Ghetto Fabolous, premiered on September 11, 2001 and sold almost 150,000 copies its first week. During this span he also released three volumes of his mixtape collection There’s No Competition and had a cameo role in Scary Movie 4. He later starred in his own films Losos Way and its sequel Losos Way 2. As of now, He’s estimated to have a net worth of $23 million. That goes to say that hes not your typical rapper. Fabolous has two Grammy nominations, one BET Hip-Hop award, and has five nominations between Teen Selection and Source Awards. While his awards history isnt remarkable, he’s among the few veterans on the market who has kept his sway and whose career continues to be lively and strong.

I've been around for almost 10 years in the game but somehow I still look like I'm like on my second or third album or something. So it's good cause it doesn't blow up my age.

I'm so devoted to my music and becoming the best artist I can be. I don't want to devote too much time to anything else before I say I've conquered that. I just wanna become bigger and I'm never satisfied with just what I am today, I just always want to be bigger. If I was Bill Gates, I would double Bill Gates. That's the mindstate you should keep in any profession, just keep striking iron and trying to get bigger and better.

There's no New York rapper who's out that is competing with me because first of all, I'm the best.

I hate to see somebody get locked up, especially someone as talented as Lil Wayne. You know Wayne is a strong figure in the hip-hop marketplace, and for him to go away for 8 months, you know it's sad for hip-hop as a whole.

It's okay to lose your pride over someone you love. Don't lose someone you love though over your pride!

Everybody's not always open to everything. People have biased feelings about certain things, especially in the hip-hop world. The hip-hop world hates homosexuality.
