After holding his first live concert in 2014, the PA native has been on the road performing consistently. In total, he has headlined six different tours, including his 2018 Australia and New Zealand Tour.

Dicky’s debut studio LP titled Professional Rapper dropped in July of 2015. The 20 track project debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 chart and it’s since been certified as Gold by the RIAA in the United States.

Dicky is far from just a rapper though. In 2020, his FXX show called Dave premiered to critical acclaim. The show is co-created with Jeff Schafer and it depicts a fictionalized version of Burd’s life as a rapper.

Lil Dicky Earth

Backtracking to 2019, Dicky released a single called Earth, which highlighted the encouragement of better environmental practices. Although not perceived favorably by critics, Dicky gave some of the proceeds to relative charities.

The song’s music video contained appearances from the likes of Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and even Leonardo Dicaprio, amongst many others.

Like most entertainers, Dicky has a strong following on social media, which earns him an income steadily throughout the year. For starters, the rapper possesses 3.1 million followers on Instagram to accompany his 685,200 Twitter followers. Also noteworthy, he owns 7.8 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.

Another addition to his net worth is his merchandise, which he launched a handful of years ago. On the site, fans can purchase apparel as well as accessories which includes a “Dave Plush”.

The multi-talented content creator has amassed an impressive net worth through being successful in several different areas. He has consistently profited through rapping and acting over the last few years.

Musical Style

Dicky’s musical style has often been described as comical and relatable. In fact, the rapper’s true passion is actually comedy. He once stated that he started making music “simply to get attention comedically, so I could write movies, write TV shows and act”.

Also, he has cited his musical inspirations as being Childish Gambino, J. Cole, ASAP Rocky, and Snoop Dogg. As can be seen in the show Dave, Dicky is regularly the opposite of egotistical. Actually, he frequently takes aim at himself on his tracks.

Lil Dicky Girlfriend

As far as the public is concerned, Dicky has seemingly only had one serious relationship since he broke into the rap game. The girl’s name was Molly and Dicky even made a song titled after her.

Dicky is currently single as far as we know. In the show, his love interest is a kindergarten teacher named Ally. It’s been theorized that she is based on a past or current love, but that has not been confirmed.
