Maxo Kream gave a financially struggling fan some blunt advice by telling them to enter the drug game.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, a fan of the rapper sent him a lengthy message about his issues on Sunday (June 16)
“I damn sure hate asking. but i got into a wreck in my brothers car after being in jail back to back and my moms bailed ya boy out without me even asking,” he said.
He continued: “Back working to pay em back for it. but shid if u can fwm with 2k that can help at least paying my lil bro back.”
In a curt reply, Maxo said: “Go sell sum dope.”
The fan’s comment was sparked by a viral tweet that read: “I dare you to tag a celebrity and ask for 2k. If they give you, you get times 2 again.”

Maxo Kream has been battling his own issues of late, including a RICO case.
Last year, Maxo handed himself in to authorities, although it is still not known what charges he was facing.
The rapper described the jail bid as “light shit” and promised fans he would “never bend break or fold” and cooperate with the government.
It was not the first time the rapper came head-to-head with RICO charges.
In 2016, CW39 Houston reported that eight members of the Kream Clicc gang — including Maxo Kream — were arrested in a raid and hit with a wide variety of charges ranging from drug trafficking to money laundering.
At the time, Maxo — who insisted he was innocent — posted $200,000 in bail and told his fans that he did nothing wrong.
“They’re out here saying organized crime, bro,” he wrote on social media. “I’m organizing music for my album….Doing right….Trying to take care of the family.”
Two years later, Maxo took to Instagram to announce that he — with the help of his attorneys — beat the RICO charges.
“Laws hit me wit the RICO but my Power Attorney had the Cheat Code,” he wrote in the caption at the time.
Maxo Kream also had to deal with the murder of his brother in March 2020.
According to KTLA 5, officers responded to a shooting call inside an apartment at around 4:25 a.m. local time on March 9, 2020.
When the police arrived, they found the 27-year-old victim on the floor with a gunshot wound. He was declared dead at the scene.
Maxo took to Instagram to share his grief, confirming the report in the process.
“No words or caption can explain wat I’m goin thru … I never expected this or ever lost somebody this close to me,” he wrote alongside a photo of his brother.
“I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.”
He continued: “You don’t get over it, you just get through it. You don’t get by it, because you can’t get around it. It doesn’t ‘get better’; it just gets different.
“We must embrace our pain and burn it as a fuel for our journey. Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it. Long Live @mmadu_kream.”
