ScHoolboy Q has revealed he’s made “a lot of money” from golf despite encountering racism in the sport.
The TDE rapper was a guest on the latest episode of Lil Yachty‘s A Safe Place Podcast, where he opened up about his lucrative earnings in the golf world after taking it up as a hobby five years ago.
“I was able to relax for five years,” he said, referencing the long wait between his albums CrasH Talk and Blue Lips. “I didn’t make that much money off rap. I made a lot of money off rap, but I would say golfing helped me a lot in times where I probably needed it.
“I made a lot of money off golf, like a lot, [from connections on the golf course] and offers. I made more than a lot of pro golfers. It’s not even cool. I hit a goldmine at the right time … they was just throwing any and anything at me.”
He added: “Golf is already popular but as soon as I started playing golf, the Hip Hop world embraced it more. And they would be lying if they say I didn’t.”

ScHoolboy Q went on to detail the downside of his golfing success, saying he was subject to racist treatment while immersed in the sport.
“That’s another reason why I made this album, certain lines and the term ‘Blue Lips’ ’cause it’s like, ‘Go be Black for those white people,'” he explained.
“That’s really how they was treating me and that’s why I stopped doing a lot of things golf ’cause I was like, ‘Woah.’ I started saying ‘no’ to things. These muthafuckas tell me, ‘Make sure he put his grill in.’
“They told me out on set. ‘Hey Keem, is Q gon’ wear his grill today? Can you make sure he put his grill in?’ … I’m like, ‘I ain’t putting a fucking grill in. I’m already Black.'”
He continued: “Like, how Black do they want me to fucking be?’ Goddamn. You can tell I’m Black. If you look at me, I’m Black. One of the things they got me shining a rim at the beginning of it … I’m like, ‘Bruh, I’m cool, bruh. I’m done with this shit, bruh.’
“But I made a lot of chicken and it’s not cool. But when a fucking golfer is grinding all day every day and the way they pay golfers? Bruh, you think streaming bad. Bruh, these golfers be in debt. In debt debt.”
How the fuck are successful people playing victim!!! This shit is systematic. It has to be! Beyonce on down… at what point are we victorious!
Who is playing victim? He is speaking on his interactions and speaking up for golfers who he believes should get paid more.
Yeah. He’s saying he’d get paid more for style. That’s racist??
When the GOAT golfer is black and the GOAT rapper is white, you know real “racism” is dead. All thats left is people getting paid to act offended by words on the internet.
When you measure a system by its extremities/exceptions then you completely misread the lay of the land.
what sucks is all these forty year old rich kids in this brain dead genre lowering standards for everyone else. they gamed the system pretending to be ghetto kids then locked real folks out by celebrating the worst filth imaginable. Now this clown wants to brag about being a rich kid the whole time with full cocksckeer media support
I don’t see how it’s an example of racist treatment though. They wanted Q for one reason. His style and celebrity status. He isn’t a top tier golfer. Same way female rappers are told to dress and act like hoes. Because it’s what gives ratings and sales. Racist? No, just chasing clicks and popularity.
typical race card. stfu and enjoy your earnings otherwise hes be a pill.poppin junkie like the rest
