Performing artist Bhad Bhabie is better known as the “Cash Me Outside” girl, but now the 19-year-old internet sensation says she’s moving past her former fame.
Danielle Bregoli catapulted to fame in 2016 during an episode of “Dr. Phil” dealing with unruly teenagers. She became famous on the installment, titled: “I Want to Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried to Frame Me for a Crime.”
Her iconic catchphrase came as a response to what she perceived as the audience laughing at her as she bragged about stealing cars from people who were irresponsible enough to leave their keys lying around in her presence.
“Cash me outside, how bout dah?” Bregoli sneered at the audience. Her mother, who appeared alongside her defiant teen, was forced to translate for Dr. Phil and the show’s guests, explaining that her daughter was suggesting they go and fight in the studio parking lot.
“Cash me outside” is arguably the line that made Bregoli famous. The episode racked up 14 million views and spurred so many memes and copycats. However, the performer recently told TMZ that she’s trying to revamp her image and reputation.
“[People think] I’m so in love with being the girl who got famous for being on ‘Dr. Phil’ and saying some crazy s***. That’s not how I feel!” Bregoli said.
“Call me the youngest female of the decade to go platinum. … Call me some s*** like that!” she continued. “Call me the girl who got a million-dollar makeup deal! The girl who made over 50 million dollars on OnlyFans!”
The rapper recently made headlines for paying cash for a $6.1 million dollar Florida mansion. The sprawling 9,200-square-foot home is reportedly situated on an acre of land in an exclusive, gated community.
Her wealth comes from a combination of sources, including a lucrative OnlyFans account which saw her earning $1 million in just a few hours post-launch, New York Post reported. An insider said the account was on track to earn $5 million in revenue in just 24 hours.
OnlyFans is not her sole source of income. In 2017, Bregoli became the youngest female rapper to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her single “These Heaux.” She also scored a record deal with Atlantic Records, which helped launch a subsequent reality show and makeup brand.
It’s unlikely Bregoli will be able to shed her “Cash Me Outside” legacy so easily. The phrase became the title of a rap single in 2017, mixed by DJ Suede The Remix God. There was also an accompanying dance that went viral on YouTube.
