Phillip Hudson Net Worth – $2 million
What is Phillip Hudson’s net worth? Does Phillip Hudson have a daughter?
Introduction
Phillip Hudson is an American internet personality and occasional rapper and actor.
He is best known for his popular YouTube collaborations with his brother, Emmanuel Hudson.
Hudson also has a recurring role on the VH1 improv-comedy show Wild N’ Out.
The Origin Story
Hudson was born in Mississippi on July 11th, 1992.
The exact city or town in which he was born is unknown.
His parents are named Roger and Glenda Hudson, and Hudson is the youngest of eight siblings.
At the age of six, Hudson and his family moved from Mississippi to Jonesboro, Georgia.
He and his older brother Emmanuel quickly established themselves as class clowns, and the two of them were inseparable from a young age.
The pair took great pleasure in making people laugh and playing practical jokes, much to the chagrin of adults around them.
YouTube Fame

Hudson and his brother uploaded their first video in May 2012, entitled “Stanky Breath Fine Girls.”
The low-fi video is a tongue-in-cheek love ballad about an attractive girl who is suffering from halitosis.
In the video, the boys are humorously straight-faced as they sing passionately about the girl with “stank breath.” This video enjoyed moderate success, with 11,000 views approximately.
It was their follow-up video, “Ratchet Girl Anthem,” that boosted the boys to new levels of popularity. The video sported much higher production values than their first, with a professionally-produced and –shot music video.
In the video, the boys wear feminine wigs and act like the titular “Ratchet Girls” – i.e. trashy or lower-class girls that are boorish and rude. Again, the boys demonstrated their flair for deadpan comedy and gift for observational humor.
Since “Ratchet Girls,” Hudson has not uploaded many YouTube videos.
Hudson uploaded a ‘Harlem Shake’ music video a year after “Ratchet Girls,” which featured a whole congregation dancing to him and his brother’s music.
Aside from this, his YouTube channel features a handful of Q&A videos. There are also a handful of comedy skits.
Hudson’s last upload was on April 20, 2013. The video – “Teach White To Be Black” – was a skit in which Hudson and his brother humorously teach a white man how to act more “black.”
Hudson and his brother frequently tour internationally as a comedy double-act. They also released a comedy album entitled “LOL” in 2012, which remains available on iTunes and Spotify.

The show, which has been likened to the popular show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, sees two teams participate against each other in games that revolve around improv comedy.
Hudson appeared in seven episodes of season 18, and has returned for season 19 in 2023.
Personal Life
Hudson is, outside of his YouTube work and VH1 appearances, a very private person.
It is unknown if he is married, or even whether he has a partner or not.
However, it is known that Phillip Hudson has a daughter, Parker Bailey Hudson, who was born in 2014.
