9 Rappers You Had No Idea Are Now Tech Entrepreneurs

When rappers get big on their one gimmicky hit, whether it’s Soulja Boy’s “Crank That” or Chamillinaire’s “Ridin’ Dirty,” they quietly disappear into irrelevance — or so you thought. The reality is that many rappers who haven’t had a hit in a while have actually been hard at work taking over a different industry — the tech world. Seriously, you’ll be surprised to learn how many rappers are now app developers, co-founders of tech companies, or outright making millions investing in Silicon Valley startups. I guess songs about “then superman dat oh” can only get you so far. Below, a few rappers who are now blowing up the tech game.
