Introduction
Lil Pump burst onto the scene in 2017 with his sick flows. He’s an American singer, producer and rapper who is known for his loud personality. In fact, you’ll often hear him using his catchphrase, “Esskeetit” which is a version of him saying “Let’s get it!”
He says what he thinks, and he doesn’t care what impact it has on others. He’s been very open about his drug use. Lil Pump also doesn’t care what his image is or his standing with the public. He’s often on social media doing drugs or illegal behavior.
Lil Pump became popular after releasing the song “Gucci Gang” in 2017, which made it all the way to the number three song on the Billboard Hot 100.
