FROM HITMAKER TO HEARTBROKEN Kevin McCall Breaks Down In Tears, Reveals He’s On An EBT Card While The Chris Brown Hits He Wrote Helped Breezy Earn $90 Million!

In a deeply emotional turn during a recent appearance on the podcast Back On Figg, singer‑songwriter and producer Kevin McCall revealed that he is currently relying on an EBT (electronic benefits transfer) card for food assistance — despite a career that included co‑writing major hits for Chris Brown.

The Background

McCall gained recognition in the early 2010s, most notably for co‑writing and featuring on the 2010 hit “Deuces” alongside Chris Brown and Tyga. He also co‑wrote “Strip” (2011) and released his debut single “Naked” in 2012.

On the podcast, McCall held up his EBT card and asked emotionally, “Why the f*ck I got an EBT card?” before calling out Brown with the line: “Can I get $25K for them four songs I owe you?”

He spoke of how royalties that once promised “income for life” have all but dried up for him. The contrast — his past credits versus his present situation — struck a nerve among listeners and the industry alike.
