How much money does Kay One have?
Prince Kay One is a well-known German rapper . In 2013, the ” Bild ” newspaper estimated his fortune at around 2 million euros, which our editors were unable to understand at the time. From fees of around EUR 5,000 per performance and the sale of his music + advertising contracts, he probably only reached his first million at the time, according to projections. However, his fortune continued to grow through the shows on RTL and RTL 2 and the subsequent albums. We currently estimate his private fortune at around 5 million euros.
Through his quarrels and subsequent disstracks against Sido and Bushido , Kenneth Glöckler, as he is called by his real name, is becoming increasingly famous. In 2013, Kay One unpacked about Bushido’s machinations and publicly settled accounts with his former mentor on TV and in newspapers. They fought verbal battles via various YouTube videos, which were seen so often in a short time that they broke records. It remains to be seen whether everything was just a sophisticated marketing campaign or whether it is actually pure seriousness. The fact is, however, that many of those involved made good money and this caused a strong media presence.
The beginnings as a rapper
In 2001, at the age of 16, Kay One won the “Royal Rumble” , the largest rap competition in Germany. A year later he got a record deal with Royal Bunker together with Jaysus and they called themselves Chablife. In 2005, the rap duo split up and Kay One signed with Eko Fresh’s German Dream record label. However, that did not bring the hoped-for success either – he was broke and forced to move from Cologne back to Lake Constance.
Prince Kay One and Bushido
At the turn of the year from 2006 to 2007, Bushido invited Kay One to a New Year’s Eve party in Switzerland. From here, Kenneth’s life would change forever. The two rappers got along so well right away that Kay moved straight into Bushido’s apartment and was immediately invited to the “From the Skyline to the Curb Back” tour. In March 2007, Kay One then signed a record deal with Bushido’s label “ersguterjunge”. The following August, Kay One was featured on Bushido’s album 7, which reached #1 on the album charts. Bushido described his protégé and best friend at the time as the most talented German rapper.
At the beginning of May 2010, Kay One’s debut album ” Kenneth Alone at Home ” was released, which climbed to number seven in the German album charts . The breakthrough as a solo artist has now finally succeeded and brought Kay One to the top of German rappers. The second solo album ” Prince of Belvedair ” was released in early 2012 and made it to number 4 in the album charts.
Kay One and Bushido’s dispute – the end of the time together
After personal disputes and incidents, such as the blocking of the successful YouTube videos and the registration of the trademark rights to the name “Kay One” by Bushido, Kenneth announced his departure from the record label “ersguterjunge” on April 10, 2012 and thus turned his back on Bushido . The dispute was conducted publicly via various social media channels and attracted great interest from fans and later also from the press. A veritable mud fight ensued between the individual protagonists of the German rap scene. Allegedly, Kay One was even attacked with knives in May 2012 after two performances by masked people who were hired by Bushido. However, this statement could never be proven. Bushido himself denied these allegations.
In May 2013, Shindy (Bushido’s colleague) released the disstrack ” Alcoholized Pedophiles “ on Youtube by publicly settling accounts with Kay One. In it, he even referred to him and his father as pedophiles. In response, Kay One immediately announced that they would reveal the whole truth about the past with Shindy and Bushido and released the track ” Nothing but the Truth “ on August 1st, 2013 . As the climax of the dispute, Kay appeared on Stern TV on October 9th and unpacked Bushido’s mafia relationships with the Abhou Chaker clan . He then received several death threats and was placed under police protection.
Bushido’s reaction followed on November 22, 2013, when he published the ten-minute disstrack ” Life and Death of Kenneth Glöckler ” on YouTube. A new record was set with the track : over a million clicks on YouTube within seven hours.
Kay One’s solo albums under his own label
On October 25, 2013, Prince Kay One released the album ” Rich Kidz ” under their own label “AP Allstars”, which – as expected – was a complete success. This was followed under the label ” Prince Kay One GmbH ” in 2015 “JGUDZS – young enough to give a shit” and in 2016 the album “Der Junge von Zeiten”. “Makers Gonna Make” was released in 2018. It was always enough for the top 10 of the German album charts, but not gold.
Own jewelry collection
In the summer of 2013, Kay One was the first German rapper to present his own jewelry collection on the “Twelve Thirteen Jewelry” label. However, it was agreed not to disclose Kay’s earnings from this advertising deal. But it must have paid off financially.
Germany is looking for the superstar 2014
At the beginning of 2014, Kay One was seen together with Dieter Bohlen , Mieze Katz and Marianne Rosenberg as a jury member in the 11th season of DSDS (Deutschland sucht den Superstar) on RTL. Due to the hype he triggered around him, he is the perfect addition to DSDS, as the ratings have continued to decline in recent years.
Kay One – Princess wanted
Prince Kay One will have his own reality show on RTL2 at the end of September 2014 and is looking for his personal princess. It-boy Kaan Ertugrul “Goldpinsel” and butler “Kay Two” are there to help and advise the “Celebrity Bachelor”. It remains to be seen whether the rapper will really find his princess.
Louis, Louis and Senorita
Since things have been a little quiet lately, Kay One is back in May 2017 with the cover of Modern Talking’s song “Louis Louis” (platinum). In autumn he released the single Senorita together with Pietro Lombardi , which sold over 1 million copies and even received diamond status.
Pietro Lombardi señorita Lyrics
“Senorita”
(feat. Pietro Lombardi)
¡Hola!, ¿cómo estás, señorita?
I’ll check on Snapchat what you’re doing, what you’re doing
Mamacita, yes, I’ll show you the most beautiful places
in this world, have you packed yet? Have you already packed?
[Pietro Lombardi:]
Señorita, be my Adriana Lima
You’re addictive, just like FIFA
We’ll meet at Moloko and Shisha
Viva la vida loca, mamacita
I’ll book us
a flight to Costa Rica with Visa Direct
[Kay One :]
I’m driving a Bentley, you’re so sexy
And if you want, we’ll go jet-skiing
I’ll check your Instastory and like every picture of you
Add me to Snapchat, send your ex away
If you’re with me, I’ll knock you off right away
I check your Instastory and like every picture of you
Eh, man, I follow you on Instagram and check your stories
Fly over the clerks, everyone gets weak with your body
Me Give yourself doubletap and like your pictures
You don’t need it at all, that shitty dog filter
Nice like Kendall or Kylie
You can wear anything, baby, sneakers or high heels
Vacation, sightseeing, you can move in with me
and have a look like them ready, your Philipp-Plein-Jeans, eh
Love your kind, you are worth everything
I like you because you don’t worship me like a superstar
But I’m the one who worships you like a superstar
That’s why we’re cruising to the sea in the Lamborghini Huracán
Rappers want to talk about money, honey
But only I’ll show you the most beautiful hotels in every city
With the jet through the night, tomorrow we’ll land in Costa Rica
Pietro, sing it for the Mamacitas
[Pietro Lombardi:]
Señorita, be my Adriana Lima
You’re addictive, like FIFA
We’ll meet at Moloko and Shisha
Viva la vida loca, mamacita I’ll book us a flight to Costa Rica
with Visa Direct [Kay One:] I’ll drive in the Bentley, you’re so sexy And if you want, we’ll go jet-skiing I’ll check your Instastory and like every picture of you

If you’re with me, I’ll smack you right away
I check your Instastory and like every picture of you
Eh, I would say Cupid hit the bull’s eye, darling, because
you have one from today Goldrapper got
what, golf or chess? Baby, I’m more into action
Love your booty, because you like to shake your ass like a Kardashian
Love your brown eyes, love your brown skin
No matter where you are, people don’t listen start to be amazed
I really thought I could never trust a woman again
because most only see my money and they run out of
hundreds of thousands of likes on your photos
so sexy
And when I see you I’m in ripper mode
Tennis club, Kay One, blue and white polos
The Versace dress suits you best
But you’d rather wear shorts from More Money More Fashion
Pack your bags, tomorrow we fly to Costa Rica
Pietro, sing it to the Mamacitas
[Pietro Lombardi:]
Señorita, be my Adriana Lima
You’re addictive, just like FIFA
