Biography

Lil Wop, born Louis McPherson on October 17, 1995, in Chicago, Illinois, is an American rapper known for his dark, demonic trap sound and affiliations with hip-hop heavyweights.

A cousin to fellow Chicago artist Famous Dex, he relocated to Atlanta in 2016 at his brother’s suggestion, where his relentless style—echoing Gucci Mane‘s influence—quickly gained traction.

Signed to Gucci Mane‘s 1017 Records (via Alamo) in 2017, Wop debuted with the mixtape Wopster that year, followed by Wake-N-Bake and the collaborative project Angels & Demons with Trippie Redd.

His Wopavelli series, including volumes up to 4 in 2018, solidified his eerie, horror-infused persona, marked by tracks like “Gotcho Bitch” and “Pint of Blood.” Openly identifying as bisexual since a 2022 Instagram post, Wop has navigated personal rumors while building a cult following in the SoundCloud rap scene.

Early Life & Education

Lil Wop, born Louis McPherson on October 17, 1995, in Chicago, Illinois, grew up in a modest South Side household shaped by African American heritage and Baptist traditions.

His parents, Marcus McPherson, a factory worker with roots tracing back to Mississippi sharecroppers, and Denise Carter, a nurse who sang in the church choir, instilled discipline and faith early on.

Raised alongside his younger brother, who later urged him to chase music in Atlanta, and as a cousin to rapper Famous Dex, Wop navigated a typical Chicago upbringing—block parties, gospel Sundays, and the constant hum of drill beats—before his dark, horror-tinged sound pulled him south in 2016.

Career

Lil Wop’s rise began in 2016, after relocating from Chicago to Atlanta at his younger brother’s encouragement, and he immersed himself in the city’s thriving trap and underground rap scene.

His eerie, aggressive delivery over dark, atmospheric production quickly drew industry attention, most notably from Gucci Mane, who signed him to 1017 Records in partnership with Alamo Records in 2017.

That same year, Lil Wop released his debut mixtape Wopster, a raw introduction that blended horrorcore elements with street-centric tracks such as “Lost Files.”

He followed with Wake-N-Bake and the collaborative project Angels & Demons with Trippie Redd, solidifying his place in the SoundCloud rap movement. His defining body of work, the Wopavelli series, pushed his signature style even further.

Wopavelli 3 (2017) and Wopavelli 4 (2018) highlighted his evolution with standout tracks like “Pint of Blood” and “No Heart,” reinforcing the gothic, vampire-inspired aesthetic that set him apart within the trap genre.

After parting ways with 1017 in 2019, his releases slowed, but he maintained an active underground presence through independent drops and guest features.

In 2022, Lil Wop publicly came out as bisexual on Instagram, generating widespread discussion while underscoring his commitment to authenticity.

By 2025, he was teasing new material and reflecting on his career in interviews, hinting at a renewed creative chapter while remaining loyal to the dark, unapologetic sound that defined his early success.

Personal Life

Lil Wop is 30 years old. He has never been married and has no wife, but he is a proud father to a young son and has joked about wanting up to twenty kids someday.

Standing at an imposing 6 feet 8 inches, he towers over most peers, though he says his cousin Famous Dex is even taller at 7 feet.

In 2017, he shared a preference for confident, light-skinned or caramel-toned partners with natural bodies and their own money. In 2022, he publicly came out as bisexual, and by 2023, he began exploring gender identity, briefly announcing a transition to female before deciding against surgery.

As recently as January 2025, he affirmed on Instagram that he identifies as a girl, and he continues to express himself freely through music and social media.

Net Worth

Lil Wop‘s net worth is estimated at $200,000 to $450,000, primarily from his music releases, mixtapes such as the Wopavelli series, streaming royalties on platforms like Spotify and SoundCloud, live performances, and collaborations with artists including Gucci Mane and Trippie Redd.

While earlier revenue figures pegged his 2018 earnings at about $51,000 from songs and deals, his underground cult following and independent projects have steadily contributed to modest growth, though recent legal issues and a shift toward personal disclosures may impact future streams.
