Bobby Lytes Net Worth $1.5 Million

What is Bobby Lytes’ net worth?

Bobby Lytes is an over the top, charismatic, always extra television personality and rapper who has a net worth of $1.5 million. Younger cousin of the famed rap star, Trina, Bobby Lytes is trying to solidify his place in the world of celebrity as an outspoken entertainer, skilled lyricist, artful rapper, and a representative for the LGBTQIA+ celebrity community.

The problem is, this peripherally famous charmer just can’t stop getting himself into trouble.

Bobby Lytes—whose real name is Robert Nico Wade—was born on October 24, 1990, in Homestead, Florida.

Of Dominican-American descent, Bobby’s mom is Dominican and his father is African American.

He was raised by his mom.

Bobby Lytes has some superstar lineage in his family—his cousin on her father’s side is famed rap star, Trina.

Trina made her rap debut back in 1998 on Trick Daddy’s Billboard Hot 100 hit, Nann.

Early on in the new millennium, she dropped her debut album—Da Baddest B*tch—and she has since enjoyed A-list levels of fame, and dated people like Lil Wayne and French Montana.

Not much is known about Bobby Lytes’ education, although he has confessed on Love & Hip Hop: Miami that he has street smarts…but not necessarily the academic kind.

He went to high school at South Dade Senior High School.

Love…

Bobby Lytes was linked to Jeffrey Jermaine White, a supporting cast member on the first ever season of Love & Hip Hop: Miami.

White—a fellow Dade County native—is a model and designer of men’s swimwear, and he had been dating Bobby Lytes for around 18 months when he made his debut on Love & Hip Hop: Miami.

As the first season progressed, Jeffrey—who had once dated self-proclaimed stylist and socialite Malik—broke up with Bobby to jump-start a relationship with his ex again.

The move sparked a major feud between Bobby—a flammable character at the best of times, Jeffrey White, and Malik.

Malik ended up dumping Jeffrey live, on stage.

Jeffrey did not return for the show’s reunion show or appear in the next season.

Always a fan of a challenge, Bobby Lytes has also confessed that he once made moves on famous rap star Lil Nas X.

Lil Nas X famously outed himself in 2019, at the height of his mainstream success with the Billboard hit, Old Town Road.

Bobby couldn’t hide his admiration for the rap star for his bravery.

Lytes also thought Lil Nas X was hot, so there was that agenda, too.

Whatever his reasons, Lytes posted a picture of the rapper asking his followers to let Lil Nas X know Bobby was trying to “riiiide till I can’t no more!” in reference to the star’s song lyrics.

He doubled down on his antics when he met his crush at the 2019 Video Music Awards, trying desperately to get Nas X’s attention.

The star wasn’t interested, according to Bobby, and he endured some harsh roasting on social media for his efforts.

Daddy Drama

It looks like romance isn’t the only thing giving Bobby Lytes a hard time.

On an episode of Love & Hip Hop: Miami, Bobby—who has been open about not having his father around—revealed that his dad had actually suffered from drug addiction.

Wade Senior had also been to prison a few times, and Lytes admitted they didn’t have a relationship.

Following on from the state ruling that prison inmates who had committed non-violent crimes may be eligible for parole early, Lytes was advised to get a lawyer for his dad.

His response in the episode:

“If I get a lawyer? First of all, lawyers are expensive.”

Some of Bobby’s fans criticized his response, calling it cold and uncaring.

Others backed him up, pointing out that none of his fans know what state the pair’s relationship is in.

Bobby was right though—lawyers are expensive.

Lytes would know that, too—he was arrested for grand theft, larceny, and violations of his parole in 2014.
