“RNP,” which stands for “Rich Nigga Problems,” is the third and final single off of YBN Cordae’s debut album, The Lost Boy.
On top of a thumping beat, produced by J. Cole, Cordae and Anderson .Paak trade deep verses defined by swagger.
[Chorus: Anderson .Paak]
One of y'all niggas gon' be fuckin' with me
I got two bad bitches gon' be rubbin' my feet
I got three young niggas down to bust out the heat
And all y'all ain't got nothin' on me
Ooh, not one of y'all niggas gon' be fuckin' with me
I got two bad bitches gon' be rubbin' my feet
I got three young niggas down to bust out the heat
And all y'all ain't got nothin' on me
[Verse 1: YBN Cordae]
Uh, okay, put your fucking hands up, this the fucking anthem
Smiling 'cause I'm young, rich, black, and I'm handsome
Not to mention wealthy, ass on her healthy
Young millionaire, what the fuck can you tell me? Smell me?
Nigga, that's Chanel cologne
I'm in Europe with the tourists with no cellular phone
[Verse 2: Anderson .Paak]
Like ooh, sound like rich nigga problems
I hit a bad bitch with a fistful of condoms
And the randomness of risky ménages
Like get the head right, she can get what she wanted
The spits, then flaunt it, my drip like a faucet
She told me she was prego, I ain't even take the motherfuckin' dick out my pocket, yeah
[Verse 3: YBN Cordae]
The opposite
She want me to fly her, so I copped a jet
Must be thinkin' I'm a one way ticket on a runway
Drippin' in my feng shui, sippin' on a sundae
[Chorus: Anderson .Paak]
One of y'all niggas gon' be fuckin' with me
I got two bad bitches gon' be rubbin' my feet
I got three young niggas down to bust out the heat
And all y'all ain't got nothin' on me
Ooh, not one of y'all niggas gon' be fuckin' with me
I got two bad bitches gon' be rubbin' my feet
I got three young niggas down to bust out the heat
And all y'all ain't got nothin' on me
[Verse 4: YBN Cordae & Anderson .Paak]
I bought a Moncler coat for the times we were broke
I'ma wear it in the summer on LeBron James boat
Front row? Duh, bro, we don't sit on nosebleeds
Ain't your pockets obese? They won't fit in those seats
Ayy, we like a cold team, nigga, Shaq and Kobe
Like back in '03, I was only like 6
Shit, I was like 16, but I can give a sixteen
I can make a bitch scream, that's a bit extreme
I got a thick bald bitch, I call her Ms. Clean
My drip frosty like Halls and Listerine
We all all-stars, you hardly sixth string
Yeah, I had to ball hard to harvest these dreams
Swear to God, me too, no Harvey Weinstein
The coupe was lime green, my wrist was blinding
We party in South Beach, Ferraris and blue cheese
Fuck does that even mean? Nigga, just let the hook sing
[Chorus: Anderson .Paak]
One of y'all niggas gon' be fuckin' with me
I got two bad bitches gon' be rubbin' my feet
I got three young niggas down to bust out the heat
And all y'all ain't got nothin' on me
Ooh, not one of y'all niggas gon' be fuckin' with me
I got two bad bitches gon' be rubbin' my feet
I got three young niggas down to bust out the heat
And all y'all ain't got nothin' on me
RNP was written by Cordae & Anderson .Paak & J. Cole.
RNP was produced by J. Cole.
I was telling my dad about industry and rapper problems…He said to me, ‘Yo bro, you’re still living your dream. You make music for a living. These sound like rich ***** problems to me’. He put everything in perspective, so I wrote a song about it.

No, this track marks the first collaboration between the two artists.
Yes, YBN Cordae famously responded to J. Cole’s April 2018 diss track, “1985” with the May 2018 reply, “Old Niggas,” where he explained his perspective on the state of hip hop.
While it was listed as a single by Atlantic Records, YBN Cordae claims the track was dropped without his knowledge:
Yes, YBN Cordae made his TV debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon performing “RNP” with Anderson .Paak as well as instrumentation by The Roots:
Yes, YBN Cordae was seen playing a snippet of this song during Episode 1 of his “Life is Dope” docuseries on July 12, 2019. At the same time, he promotes the collaboration on Zane Lowe’s World Record.
In a 2019 interview with Billboard, Cordae explained that he had recorded a different song over the instrumental with Cole in Raleigh, North Carolina, a year before “RNP”’s release in July. He also confirmed that the first version did not feature Anderson:
Ok, so I did that jawn with Cole. The beat...
