On July 29, ‘Good Morning America’ announced that the Trill Burgers location owned by UGK (UnderGround Kingz) rapper Bun B is one of the establishments that serves the ‘Best Burger in America.’ Michael Strahan, the show’s co-host, presented the rapper with a trophy and a check for $10,000 after he won the competition. A jubilant Bun B posted the following on his Instagram account: “We did it! Good Morning America has recognised Trill Burgers as having the finest burger in the United States.
The final battle took place on July 29 in Times Square, marking the conclusion of a week-long tournament in which the GMA team solicited votes from local judges in each location through a head-to-head showdown format pitting two of the city’s most popular burger joints against one another.
Following the rapper’s success, the comment section of his Instagram post was inundated with messages of congratulations from a variety of people, including Kareem Burke of Roc-A-Fella Records, Slim Thug, and former NBA star Quentin Richardson, amongst others. Bun B declared during the occasion, “We did it, baby, Trill Burgers. It has a fantastic feel. God is good, and my teammates are unbelievable. You’re going to get your hands on the tastiest burger this side of the Mississippi.”
Who is Bun B? What is his net worth?
Bun B, whose full name is Bernard James Freeman, is best recognised as one half of the southern rap group UGK, sometimes known as UnderGround Kingz. Bun B is currently 40 years old. Bun B was one of the founders of UGK in 1987, along with the late Pimp C. It is estimated that Bun B has a net worth of over $4 million. He has been married to Angela “Queenie” Walls since 2003, and the two of their children were born during that time.
In addition to his time spent with UGK, Bun B has also recorded five albums under his own name, one of which, Trill OG in 2010, was honoured with The Source’s highest possible rating of five mics. Additionally, Bun B is frequently found on the faculty at Rice University, which is located in Houston, Texas. ‘Tell Me Something Good,’ ‘Pocket Full of Stones,’ ‘Choppin’ Blades,’ ‘Front, Back, Side to Side,’ ‘Wood Wheel,’ and ‘Hi Life’ are just a few of the hit tracks that this artist has released.
Bun B is clearly passionate about automobiles, as evidenced by the numerous photos of him behind the wheel that he posts to his Instagram account.
It was on May 26 when two iconic Southern rap groups, 8Ball & MJG and UGK, went for a face-off in the newest battle of Verzuz in Atlanta. This was the final time Bun B was seen or enthusiastically spoken about on stage. The battle took place in front of an audience of hundreds, during which rappers representing both groups took turns performing their most popular bangers on stage.
Hip-hop fans had a great time watching the duel between the two renowned groups, but they were frustrated by the lukewarm reception they received from the Live audience. On Twitter, many users expressed their opinion that the Verzuz should have been held at a location other than Atlanta. In reference to the Verzuz battle, the co-founders Timbaland and Swizz Beatz kicked off the epic face-offs in March 2020. During these face-offs, we witnessed hip-hop legends such as Monica and Brandy, Snoop Dogg and the late DMX, Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, Nelly and Ludacris, Method Man and Redman, and Alicia Keys
