Peter Gunz, the renowned rapper who achieved fame through his collaboration with Lord Tariq, has transitioned into the world of reality TV, particularly known for his appearances on “Love and Hip Hop.” However, beneath the glitz and glamour of the reality show, Peter faces the financial challenge of providing for his extensive family, which includes more children than the figures in his yearly income.
Peter’s Extensive Brood
Peter Gunz is a father to an astonishing ten children from four different women. His children’s names are Whitney, Brandon, Phoenix, Kennedi, Cory Gunz, Bronx Pankey, Cori Gunz, Gunner Ethan Pankey, Kaz Pankey, and Jamison “Juice” Pankey.
Bronx and his older sister Cori were born during Peter’s marriage to his ex-wife, Amina Buddafly. In addition, Peter has three other children, Kaz, Jamison, and Gunner, from his 13-year-long relationship with co-star Tara Wallace, spanning from 2000 to 2013.
When Peter married Amina, he already had seven children. By the time their marriage concluded in 2018, Peter Gunz had become a father of ten and even a grandfather to one child.
Assessing Peter’s Net Worth
Peter Gunz amassed the bulk of his $1 million net worth during his prime years when he partnered with Lord Tariq to form a music duo. Their 1997 single “Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)” catapulted them to fame, reaching the top ten on the US Billboard Hot 100, claiming the number one spot on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart, and peaking at #21 on the UK Singles Chart in May 1998.
Their success was not limited to chart performance; Peter and Lord Tariq achieved platinum certification from the RIAA for selling over one million copies of the single. Following this triumph, they released their only album, “Make It Reign,” in 1998.
Peter has continued to bolster his financial status by appearing on “Love and Hip Hop” since 2013 and taking on the role of the new host for the long-running reality series “Cheaters” from 2020 onwards.
Peter’s Earnings from “Love and Hip Hop”
Peter Gunz is believed to earn an annual salary of $100,000 for his role on “Love and Hip Hop.” Although he hasn’t publicly disclosed his yearly income, reports suggest that his total earnings amount to approximately $400,000 or more annually.
Both Amina and Tara, Peter’s ex-partners, support his role as the host of “Cheaters.” According to Baller Alert, Peter explained his motivation for the show, saying, “I want to help people get into therapy and try to change relationships. I’m not here to mess up people’s happy homes, especially after all the s**t I did. My exes are extremely supportive of it. They’re not mad about it. They think it fits me, and they’ll get 80 percent of [the salary]. I’m not joking.”
The salaries of “Love and Hip Hop” cast members can vary significantly. For instance, co-stars like Karlie Redd and Tommie Lee reportedly make $50,000 and $17,000 per season, respectively. As a point of comparison, Rob Dyrdek, the host of MTV2’s “Ridiculousness,” receives $35,000 per episode for his hosting duties on the same network as “Cheaters.” Hence, it is reasonable to assume that Peter’s compensation is in a similar range.
Conclusion: Balancing Family and Finances
Peter Gunz, despite his noteworthy career and reality TV appearances, faces the financial challenge of providing for his extensive family. With ten children to support and a modest salary from “Love and Hip Hop,” Peter must navigate the delicate balance between his career and his role as a father and grandfather.
