Kevin McCall Says He’s on EBT, Claims Chris Brown Owes $25K for Four Co-Written Songs

His tearful podcast disclosure spotlights royalty gaps that can leave credited writers with little income.

Overview

  • McCall displayed his EBT card on the Back On Figg podcast and said past Chris Brown hits no longer pay him meaningful royalties.
  • He asserted he is owed about $25,000 tied to four tracks he co-wrote with Brown, a figure reported from his account without independent confirmation in the coverage.
  • He became visibly emotional during the interview and was consoled by the hosts as he discussed his finances and estrangement from Brown.
  • McCall said prior catalog sales and business missteps reduced his residual income, illustrating how contract terms can undercut songwriter payouts.
  • Young Thug publicly offered to give McCall the $25,000, while the reports noted no public response from Brown.
