Skillibeng net worth is estimated at between $500,000 and $2.5 million USD as of 2026, according to varying third-party estimates.
The wide range reflects the fact that the Jamaican dancehall artist does not publicly disclose his finances, and no audited figure exists.
What is clear from the public record is that revenue streams span recorded music royalties, a major-label deal with RCA Records, a worldwide publishing agreement with Sony/ATV, touring, and an expanding international profile built on high-profile collaborations.
This reference page compiles every confirmed fact about Skillibeng’s career earnings, deals, and assets, and will be updated annually as new information becomes available.
Who Is Skillibeng?
Emwah Ryan Warmington, born December 23, 1996, known professionally as Skillibeng, is a Jamaican singer, songwriter, and rapper noted for his works with Vybz Kartel, DJ Khaled, Sean Paul, Nicki Minaj, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Wizkid, Rich the Kid, Kali Uchis, Popcaan, French Montana, and Moliy.
Warmington was born in Saint Thomas Parish and grew up in the rural community of Lyssons. He developed an early interest in music influenced by his father’s diverse tastes ranging from reggae to techno, as well as artists like Vybz Kartel, Popcaan, and Lil Wayne.
He began writing music in high school, using his admiration for poetry and English class as inspiration, and freestyled for friends throughout school and hustled as an independent artist after graduation, but decided to take his career seriously following a 2018 car accident.
It was at school that he got the name Skillibeng from his school friends.
Career Timeline and Key Milestones
In October 2015, he released his first official single “Pain & Emotion,” followed weeks later by “Skilli She Love.” Early tracks released in 2015 and 2016 took an electronically led approach to the genre. During this period Skillibeng remained independent, building a local following in St. Thomas.
It was the 2019 hit “Brick Pan Brick” that would prove the artist’s breakout moment, and the multi-million-streamed track found immediate success in Warmington’s home country. In August 2019, he released his nine-track debut extended play, “Prodigy.”
In January 2020, Skillibeng released his 35-track debut studio album The Prodigy; the album debuted on the US Current Reggae Albums Chart and peaked at number 16. From there, Skillibeng had a relentless release schedule, dropping 43 singles in 2020 along with his debut album The Prodigy.
His signature hit “Crocodile Teeth” in 2020 and 2021 has amassed over 49 million Spotify streams (as of November 2025) and a remix featuring Nicki Minaj that has exceeded 69 million YouTube views.
The Crocodile Teeth album sets Skillibeng apart from his contemporary dancehall peers by pushing against the genre’s typical sounds, thanks to a fusion of drill, rap, reggae, electronic, and pop, with highlights including the Bobby Shmurda-assisted remix to his “Crocodile Teeth” smash, dancehall queen Spice on the haunting “Richer,” a Stefflon Don feature, and Popcaan and Rich the Kid on “Rocket Launcher.”
In 2020 and 2022, The Face and I.D. magazine profiled him as Jamaica’s new dancehall hope and as Jamaica’s hottest artist.
Skillibeng is the winner of Best Caribbean Music Act at the MOBO Awards 2022. He won the Best Caribbean Music Act award at the 25th annual MOBO Awards, held on November 30, 2022, at the OVO Arena Wembley in London, marking his first win in the category after four previous nominations.
“Jump” is a song by South African singer Tyla, American rapper Gunna, and Jamaican rapper Skillibeng, from Tyla’s self-titled debut album, released on May 14, 2024.
Jump entered multiple charts, debuting at number 14 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart and at number 6 on the US Afrobeats Songs chart, while also debuting at number 1 on the UK Afrobeats Songs chart.
The Afrobeats, dancehall, and hip-hop fusion was certified gold by the RIAA for surpassing 500,000 units in combined sales and streaming equivalents, and has achieved gold certification in other territories including Brazil, Canada, and New Zealand, while being certified silver in the UK and platinum in South Africa.
Skillibeng performed “Jump” live with Tyla and Gunna at the 2024 BET Awards.
In 2025, Skillibeng released his third solo album, International. The album featured a guest list of stars like Ty Dolla $ign, Young Nudy, and Major Lazer.
Record Label and Publishing Deals
Skillibeng, who is signed to EastSyde Records, joined the RCA Records roster in a new deal, amid a resurgence of interest in Jamaican music among major labels. The deal was first reported in October 2021 and formally confirmed in March 2022.
His music is licensed under RCA Records, an American label under the Sony Music Entertainment group, and the deal was described as “a major one for dancehall music” that could push him on the international stage and allow him to tap into music distribution markets worldwide.
At RCA Records, Skillibeng joined Protoje, Lila Iké, Sevana, and Jaz Elise, and Koffee, who is signed to Columbia Records UK with RCA Records as her US licensee.
Skillibeng also secured a worldwide publishing deal with Sony/ATV Publishing UK (part of Sony Music group), announced in 2020.
Publishing agreements of this kind generate income from synchronization licenses, mechanical royalties, and performance royalties on every commercially released composition. The financial terms of both the RCA and Sony/ATV arrangements were not publicly disclosed.
Skillibeng Net Worth: Estimates and Income Breakdown
Because Skillibeng is a private individual who does not file public financial disclosures, all net worth figures in circulation are estimates from third-party tools and entertainment biography sites. Readers should treat them as informed approximations rather than verified totals.
Published Estimates
- As of 2025, Skillibeng’s estimated net worth is between $500,000 and $1 million USD, according to Contents101.
- MarriedBiography placed his net worth at around $2.5 million as of 2023.
The gap between these figures illustrates the uncertainty inherent in valuing an independent-leaning Caribbean artist whose catalog spans self-released material, an independent imprint, and a major-label licensing arrangement.
A reasonable working range, drawing on both sources, sits between $500,000 and $2.5 million USD, with no single figure publicly confirmed.
Streaming and Digital Revenue
One platform, Popnable, forecasts Skillibeng’s music-streaming revenue at approximately $140,800 for 2025, with a possible range of $139,400 to $180,600. The same platform estimated revenue of $47,500 in 2024, with a range of $46,900 to $60,700.
These figures cover catalogued streaming performance only and do not account for live performance fees, merchandise, brand deals, or label advances.
The SkillibengVEVO YouTube channel has accumulated over 332 million video views. The VEVO channel launched on YouTube in July 2020 and generates an estimated $4,130 per month based on third-party modelling. These are algorithmic estimates and are not confirmed by Skillibeng or his management.
Social Media and Influencer Income
One analytics platform estimates Skillibeng’s total annual income across all social media revenue streams at approximately $1,617,704 to $2,064,461, based on a combined audience of roughly 1.9 million users across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
The platform uses a proprietary algorithm that considers subscriber and follower counts on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, along with engagement rate and viewership figures. These figures represent earning potential rather than confirmed payments and should be interpreted accordingly.

Key Collaborations That Drive Earning Power
A major factor in Skillibeng’s revenue growth since 2021 has been strategic featuring credit on high-profile records.
Skillibeng has worked extensively with Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel and has also collaborated with DJ Khaled, Sean Paul, Nicki Minaj, Wizkid, Rich the Kid, Kali Uchis, Popcaan, J.I the Prince of N.Y, and French Montana.
Each featuring credit earns a negotiated share of master recording revenue, and when an album chart positions at a major level, those residuals compound over time.
Key highlights include 2022’s gritty “Whap What” with F.S., 2023’s trap-inspired “16CHOPPA” featuring Nardo Wick, and 2024’s hit Tyla and Gunna collaboration “Jump.”
Personal Life
Skillibeng was born on December 23, 1996, in Lyssons, Jamaica, and grew up in a musical family, with his father and uncle both being DJs. He completed high school at Morant Bay High School. He and his partner Taveionn welcomed a son in September 2021.
He is known to be a private person regarding his personal life and maintains a strong connection to his EastSyde crew, a collective of artists and producers based in his hometown of St. Thomas.
