Bryan Quang “RiceGum” Le is a YouTuber, Twitch streamer, and music artist who is mostly known for his controversies involving other YouTubers as well as his diss track releases. He started on YouTube in 2012 at the age of 16, uploading Call of Duty gameplay with commentary. He has stated that the reason he began making YouTube videos was that he wanted to “retire my parents, buy some clothes, [I wanted to] not go to college, [I wanted to] have really pretty girls around me.”
He floated around YouTube and Twitch for a while, streaming gameplay for his viewers. He gained a substantial following during his early days on Twitch, while playing Call of Duty. He then began venturing into the diss track side of YouTube around the time it was trending in 2017, with his single “It’s Every Night Sis” featuring Alissa Violet, directed towards her ex Jake Paul. He joined a social-media influencer group named “Clout Gang” in the same year, parodying Jake Paul’s Team 10 set-up.
RiceGum is known for stirring controversies by getting into arguments with other internet personalities such as Jake Paul, Hasan Piker, Bhad Babie, Gabbie Hanna, and many others; he has also been criticized for his behavior on several occasions. One of those was when he spoke to a survivor of sexual assault, and another time where he promoted a scam site that used gambling-esque features to lure in their users.

How much is RiceGum’s total net worth?
RiceGum has made a sizeable amount throughout his online career, from multiple avenues. He is said to have a net worth of around $8 million as of 2022. He earns through monetization of his YouTube channel, through Twitch subscribers and donations, through the release of his music, and sponsorships. His music, largely consisting of diss-tracks, makes a lot of money considering the attention and virality they have gained. He was banned from Twitch in 2020 for showing nudity on his stream, which would have cut his revenue down for the duration of the ban.
On what platform does RiceGum stream?
RiceGum primarily streams on Twitch. He has 3 separate YouTube channels; “RiceGum” which acts as his main channel, “FamilyGum” for vlogs (inactive since November 2020), and “RiceLive” (inactive since 2020). He seems to be on a YouTube break at the moment, as his latest video, on his main channel, was uploaded 11 months ago. He streams once every week or two on Twitch.
How much does RiceGum earn?
RiceGum used to be very active on all his social media platforms. As of late, he has paused uploading on his YouTube channels and does not have a regular streaming schedule, streaming once every one or two weeks. Keeping this in mind, his earnings would have taken a hit as compared to when he was actively streaming. He is said to make anywhere between $4k to $6k a month on YouTube, and $48k to $72k every year. As his YouTube upload frequency has dropped, this number is subject to extreme change and could potentially drop by a lot in the coming time. With 8.4k active subscribers on Twitch, as of now, he would be making $21k off Tier 1 subscribers alone in a month. Through his music career, he earns an undisclosed amount of money in royalties as time passes.
RiceGum’s earnings over the year fluctuate quite a bit due to his irregular uploading and streaming schedule on his social media platforms. It should be at least 250k, assuming he makes an average of $60k from YouTube and $250k from Twitch subscribers.
RiceGum’s music career
RiceGum broke onto the music scene on YouTube around the time diss tracks were a viral trend, in 2017. His first one was a parody of Jake Paul and Team 10’s single “It’s Everyday Bro”, titled “It’s Every Night Sis”. The music video was filmed alongside Alissa Violet, who is Jake Paul’s ex. It peaked at #80 in Billboard USA’s Hot 100, #34 in Billboard USA’s R&B/Hip-hop chart, and #25 in Billboard USA’s Rap chart. Following the success of the single, he went on to release 2 more tracks later in the same year; “God Church” (a parody title of a line from “It’s Everyday Bro”), “Frick da Police”, and “Naughty or Nice”. His latest single was released in 2020, titled “Contract Money Freestyle” and he has featured on YouTuber and music artist KSI’s single “Earthquake”.
RiceGum’s Twitch career
RiceGum created his Twitch account in 2013, on the 22nd of February. He streams for an average time of 3.5 hours per stream and receives about 54k life viewers per stream. He started out streaming Call of Duty, although as of now, his most streamed categories are Fortnite, GTA V, and Just Chatting. Although his Just Chatting hours might break his GTA V’s record soon as RiceGum’s last 10 streams have all been in the Just Chatting category, with the exception of one where he also played GTA V. He has amassed a total of 1.18 million followers.
RiceGum’s YouTube career
RiceGum started as a YouTuber in 2012 when he would upload commentary videos while showcasing his Call of Duty gameplay in the background. His popularity grew exponentially in 2015 when he began to make comedy-type videos, his most successful one’s being his series where he would diss kids from the Musical.ly app (now known as TikTok). Capitalizing on the performance of these videos, he eventually went on to release several diss tracks, which only aided the growth of his channel.
Earnings from his music career
RiceGum has released a total of 9 singles since 2017. While the exact numbers regarding how much he has made off of his music are unknown, taking into factor the popularity and charting positions of his music and the number of streams he earned, he has made a huge amount of revenue from his releases.
Earnings as a Youtuber
RiceGum’s earnings as a YouTuber have greatly fluctuated since the peak of his popularity. He does not upload content as frequently anymore and is not affiliated with any content house as well. However, his uploads featuring other content creators would gain a lot of traction. As of now, his monthly earnings from YouTube are said to be around $3.5k a month, and $42k a year, from just his main channel. “RiceLive” makes about $80 a month and $960 a year while “FamilyGum” makes $280 a month and $3.3k a year, on average.
Earnings as a Twitch Streamer
RiceGum is more active on his Twitch account compared to his YouTube but does not stream as frequently or as long as other Twitch streamers typically do. He currently has 1.8 million followers, 8.4k of them being active subscribers. That would net him a total of $21k a month and at least $252k a year. This does not include donations and higher-tiered subscribers.
Other Sponsorship Deals
RiceGum’s earnings from sponsorship deals are unknown. In 2019, RiceGum was sponsored by loot-box-related gambling site “Mystery Brand”, for which he received a lot of backlash. Other YouTubers came out and stated they were offered $100k to promote the very same website.
Expenditure
RiceGum’s expenditure is not known. He often shows off his wealth and luxury goods. When he was a part of the influencer group Clout House, he stayed in a 10-bedroom 13-bathroom multi-floored luxury property, which would have been very expensive.
In the News
RiceGum has been in the news many times due to the controversies he has been involved in.
RiceGum and iDubbbzTV had tension between them when the latter made a video criticizing the former. RiceGum responded to his video with a diss track titled “Frick da Police”, which was not well received by the public. His already damaged reputation took an even further hit by the public outrage following the track. He has also had several controversies with other YouTubers and content creators as well, such as Pokimane, Gabbie Hanna, and Hasan Piker. He used to live with content creator Pokimane back in 2016, but she has deleted all VODs and old videos featuring him, which lead to him calling her out in public.
RiceGum has also drawn flack for his behavior and words when he was speaking to a sexual assault survivor on a live stream. As the other person detailed their assault, RiceGum says the phrase “It wasn’t that bad”, and jokes around with the fact that they chose not to sue their assaulter, saying “So guys, if you want to rape her, she won’t sue you”.
He has fostered drama with him and (at the time) 14-year-old Danielle Bregoli a.k.a “Bhad Bhabie”. After uploading a video of himself criticizing Bhabie’s song “These Heaux”, going so far as to call her voice “annoying”; she retaliated with heated words and the two had a large back-and-forth.
In 2018, RiceGum was on the receiving end of severe backlash after uploading what others termed as a “racist vlog”. In the video that takes place in Hong Kong, he is seen making stereotypical “Asians eat cats and dogs” jokes which are very racially charged. He walked by several street food stalls and called the food “disgusting”. He also filmed his friend moving mannequins in stores to pose lewdly and made jokes playing on the stereotype that Asians do not understand English. This infuriated many, with him called “racist and ignorant”, and it was also compared to Logan Paul’s Japan vlog incident.
In 2019, RiceGum was paid a significant amount of money by a company called “Mystery Brand”, to promote their site, which garnered a lot of negative attention from viewers due to the site’s practices - it entailed spending anywhere between $5 to $1300 on loot boxes in hopes of earning an expensive item. Many complaints originated from there, stating that they never received their prizes and many called into question the morality of promoting such sites to one’s audience, especially when they’re of a younger, more easily impressionable demographic. RiceGum defended himself, explaining that other YouTubers had also done the same. Nevertheless, he gave away Amazon codes in apology to appease his viewers - codes that were stated to have already expired by the winners of his giveaway, as they were not able to redeem them.
