Aitch’s Flashy Money Habits Are Concerning His Dad

Born Harrison Armstrong, Mancunian rapper Aitch has been on the rise since his feature on Young T and Bugsey’s 2019 track “Strike A Pose.” With seven top 10 singles under his belt so far, it’s fair to say that Aitch is a force to be reckoned with. On top of his burgeoning music career, he has a number of brand deals with Lynx, JD Sports, The North Face, and more. When he’s not scoring brand partnerships, or in the studio, he can often be found vlogging on YouTube, uploading content for his “Life Of Aitch” playlist. At just 22 years old, the rapper has even earned himself a place on the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 list.

With many different sources of income, Aitch has enlisted help with keeping on top of it all. Speaking to The Face, the young rapper said that his dad supports him with “financial things and whatnot. Property stuff, or whatever.” In fact, the rapper has spoken of the difficulty of adjusting to his fame (and fortune) on his debut album, Close To Home. On one track titled “Money Habits,” he raps: “Right now, I’m richer than ever/ But I can’t lie, I’ve felt better.” However, on “BelgraveRoad_1,” he shares the delight of having money to spend, detailing buying “Rollies” and booking flights. But the track finishes with a stern voice note sent by his dad. “Ey, kn*bhead. I need these receipts, rapido, you know?” he says. “I’ve got a f*cking Excel sheet in front of me here. You would not believe how much money you’re throwing away without f*cking receipts.” Find out just how Aitch is spending all of his money, below.

3 Ways That Aitch Makes His Money
