Hip-hop and footwear have been intertwined ever since Run-DMC laced up their Adidas Superstars and dropped the iconic 1986 single “My Adidas.” The track didn’t just top charts—it changed history.
The group’s swagger-filled anthem led to a groundbreaking $1.6 million endorsement deal with Adidas, marking the first formal partnership between a fashion brand and hip-hop artists. That moment kicked off a long-standing love affair between rappers and footwear, one that continues today through exclusive sneaker deals, high-fashion collabs, and lyrical shoutouts.
But not all rappers command attention just by towering over the crowd—some of the biggest names in the game stand below average in height. Many of them share a common stage name prefix: “Lil.” While it may seem like a quirky naming trend, the “Lil” moniker often reflects something literal—their modest height. From Lil Uzi Vert to Lil Baby, these stars prove that stature has nothing to do with star power.
Many popular ‘Lil’ rappers tend to live up to the name with their smaller stature. However, a notable exception was the late Lil Peep (may he rest in peace), who stood tall at 6’1”.

For fun, here are some of the most popular rappers ranked by height, from the shortest to the tallest.
1. 42 Dugg: Surprisingly Short at 5’1” (156 cm)
This rapper shocked fans when they found out he stood just above five feet tall, as he appears much taller in photos.

A close collaborator of Lil Baby and Yo Gotti, 42 Dugg was incarcerated at the young age of 15 and spent six years in prison. During his time there, he found himself in solitary confinement several times, where he took the time to practice his lyricism.

After finally being released at 22, he quickly found success with his mixtapes Young and Turnt, Young and Turnt, Vol. 2, and Free Dem Boyz. 42 Dugg sometimes references his height in his lyrics, but in a way that is only truly funny if you know how tall he is.
For example, in “Been Turnt,” 42 Dugg claims he could steal a man’s girlfriend because the man has a “height on ‘em ‘bout four two.” Since 42 Dugg is a bit taller than that, perhaps he could.
2. Lil Uzi Vert: A Mere 5’4” (163 cm) in Stature
Lil Uzi Vert stands at just five feet and four inches, but their style—and sneaker game—is anything but small. Widely regarded as a sneakerhead, Uzi has been seen in everything from rare Jordans to custom designer kicks.
They even collaborated with Nike on a custom Air Force 1 Low, further cementing their place in sneaker culture. A regular guest on Complex’s Sneaker Shopping, Uzi has openly shared their love for standout footwear, often leaning into whatever’s bold, trendy, or boundary-pushing, just like their music and personal style.

But honestly, it surprised us that Symere Bysil Woods was that tall! Perhaps it’s just because of that iconic video where the rapper proclaims it’s only their “third day out here” that skewed our perception.
Though considered short, Lil Uzi Vert has found massive success, earning both commercial and critical acclaim for their albums and mixtapes, including Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World and Luv Is Rage 2.

Lil Uzi Vert keeps a positive, upbeat attitude and even pokes fun at their height while still proclaiming they are rich. In “Myron,” Lil Uzi Vert raps, “I stand on my money then my height, it turn to 9’10.”
3. Kendrick Lamar: Compact Power at 5’6” (168 cm)
The man they call Kung Fu Kenny is not only one of the most talented and influential rappers of his generation, but he’s also a major force in sneaker culture.
Since debuting his first sneaker collaboration with Reebok in 2015, Kendrick Lamar has steadily built an impressive lineup of footwear partnerships, collaborating with Reebok, Nike, and Converse across more than a dozen high-profile drops. His designs often carry deeper themes—unity, duality, and Los Angeles street culture—making them as meaningful as they are stylish.

From the gang-reconciliation messaging of his Reebok Ventilators to the culturally-rooted Nike Cortez “House Shoes” and his latest work with Converse through pgLang, Lamar’s sneaker portfolio reflects his artistry and personal narrative. As summarized by Sneaker Freaker, Kendrick’s sneaker journey not only mirrors his evolution as a musician and creative but also places him firmly among the most influential rapper-collaborators in modern footwear.
His first major-label debut album, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, released in 2012, set the stage for his astronomical success.
Though Kendrick Lamar doesn’t place his height front and center in his lyrics, he doesn’t need to. His words speak for themselves.
4. Lil Durk: Standing Tall at 5’7” (170 cm)
Another ‘Lil’ rapper, Lil Durk, stands well under six feet at five feet and seven inches. He is well known for songs like “Viral Moment,” “3 Headed Goat,” and “Backdoor,” and for his feature on Pooh Shiesty’s “Back in Blood.”

Like other rappers on this list, the rapper has had some legal troubles. He draws upon these experiences in his lyrics. Also, as in other rappers with ‘Lil’ in their stage names, we wonder if Lil Durk’s moniker was inspired by his slightly less-than-average height.
5. Eminem: A Formidable 5’8” (173 cm) Presence
Eminem is one of the most celebrated rappers of our generation, not just for his lyrical prowess but also for his impact on sneaker culture.
Standing at five feet and eight inches, he’s collaborated on multiple rare Air Jordan releases, including the coveted Eminem x Carhartt x Air Jordan 4, which has fetched prices over $20,000 on the resale market.
A longtime sneaker enthusiast, Eminem also invested early in StockX, the sneaker resale platform, further solidifying his influence in high-end streetwear and limited-edition footwear.

The rapper has been honored in Rolling Stone’s lists of 100 Greatest Artists and 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. He has won accolades, including 15 Grammy Awards, 17 Billboard Music Awards, 8 American Music Awards, and so much more.

An average American man stands at roughly five feet and nine inches. Though Eminem is slightly shorter than that, his aura and illustrious career make him seem larger than life.
6. DaBaby: Average Height, Extraordinary Controversy at 5’8” (173 cm)
Not a baby, but DaBaby, this American rapper formerly known as Baby Jesus, stands at five feet and eight inches. It’s a common height among the rappers on this list.
The “Rockstar” rapper recently came under fire for his “Beatbox Freestyle” lyrics, which referenced dancer and singer Jojo Siwa as a “b*tch.”
DaBaby turns heads at the 2021 BET Awards on June 27, 2021, in a vibrant yellow overcoat, stacked chains, graphic pants, and rugged black combat boots that added an edge to his bold red carpet look (Credit: Faye’s Vision / Cover Images)
Siwa’s fans quickly came to her defense, pointing out that the former Dance Moms star is actually two inches taller than DaBaby.
Fortunately, the rapper took to Twitter to clear up this misconception, claiming that he and his daughter were big fans of Siwa and the lyric was merely wordplay.
DaBaby’s semi-apology seemed sincere, but some fans still think he’s scared of Siwa. One person tweeted, “You just afraid because she taller than you. Get off…”
7. YoungBoy Never Broke Again: More Than His 5’8” (173 cm) Frame
Also known as NBA Youngboy (or even just YoungBoy), he has quickly become one of the most streamed artists on Spotify. It’s a massive achievement for someone as young as the 24-year-old rapper.
View this post on Instagram
A frequent collaborator of the late Juice WRLD (who stood at only five feet and seven inches), NBA YoungBoy’s career has been marred by several legal issues that began as early as 2016.
Though NBA YoungBoy’s stage name wasn’t inspired by his height, it was inspired by his age. Perhaps he will grow into an NBA OldMan in his later years.
8. Lil Baby: Not Just Average at 5’8” (173 cm)
An amalgamation of the “Lil” and “Baby” themed rap monikers, Lil Baby stands at a solid five feet and eight inches.

The 29-year-old rapper got his name from his mother, who often called him “baby.” His friends teased him incessantly by calling him “Lil Baby,” but the name just stuck.
Lil Baby is not remarkably short (and indeed not a baby), but with memorable hits like “Drip Too Hard” and “Yes Indeed,” he has a presence that makes him seem much taller than he is.
9. Kanye West: Larger Than Life at 5’8” (173 cm)
Out of all the rappers on this list, Kanye West feels larger than life despite standing only five feet and eight inches. As one of the top-selling musical artists in the world, Kanye West has won 24 Grammy Awards and a bevy of other accolades.
He also created the Yeezy brand with Adidas, one of history’s most influential fashion and sneaker lines. Though the collaboration has now come to an end, Yeezy’s legacy continues to shape streetwear trends and sneaker culture worldwide.

As of late, he has been in the news for more negative things than positive ones, but his expansive discography has undoubtedly significantly impacted the music industry.
His legendary albums, “Late Registration,” “Graduation,” “808s & Heartbreak,” “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” and “Yeezus,” will leave a lasting mark in the hip-hop world for years to come.
10. Travis Scott: A Towering 5’10” (178 cm) in the Spotlight
Travis Scott stands five feet and ten inches—comfortably in the taller half of this list—but his influence on fashion and footwear truly elevates him.
The Houston-born rapper has launched high-profile collaborations with Nike and Jordan Brand, including coveted releases like the Air Jordan 1 “Mocha,” Air Jordan 4 “Cactus Jack,” and Nike SB Dunks. These sneakers routinely sell out in minutes, cementing his status as a music icon and a driving force in modern streetwear.

In recent years, the rapper’s personal life as Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend has overshadowed his musical career. However, despite his misgivings, Travis Scott still has an impressive discography.
11. Drake: Surprisingly Tall at 6’0” (183 cm)
Is it just us, or is it surprising that Drake is actually six feet tall? The former Degrassi star gives us serious short-guy energy (no offense).
Despite the hilarious “Drake the type of guy…” memes that clown the rapper so hard that any non-famous person could never recover, Drake still manages to be one of the most successful musical artists in the 21st century.

Drake’s sneaker journey spans nearly a decade of collaborations with Nike and Jordan Brand, making him one of the few artists to release retro models and an original silhouette.
Standouts include his OVO-branded Air Jordan 10s and 12s, the Air Jordan 4 “Raptors,” and the highly sought-after unreleased “Snakeskin” and “Gold” Air Jordan 11s. His Certified Lover Boy-inspired Air Force 1 and the Nike NOCTA Hot Step mark the evolution of his influence from artist to designer. Drake’s sneaker drops often blend clean aesthetics with OVO’s signature gold accents, and many have become rare collector’s items.
For a full breakdown of every pair, check out Complex’s deep dive: “A History of Drake’s Sneaker Collaborations” by John Gotty and Mike DeStefano (March 4, 2022).
Over the years, Drake has sold over 170 million records worldwide, earning himself a record 34 Billboard Music Awards and many other accolades.
12. Post Malone: Standing Strong at 6’0” (183 cm)
Post Malone stands at a solid six feet tall, but it’s his laid-back, offbeat style that truly stands out.
Known for frequently performing barefoot, he also made waves in the footwear world through his wildly popular Crocs collaborations, which consistently sold out and helped elevate the brand’s cool factor among younger fans and sneaker collectors.
Nevertheless, this quirky rapper has earned a name and a sizeable fortune for himself with hits like “White Iverson,” “Congratulations” featuring Quavo, “Sunflower” featuring Swae Lee, and “Rockstar.”

Post Malone has 10 Billboard Music Awards, 9 Grammy nominations, 3 American Music Awards, and 1 MTV Video Music Award. If he continues the track he’s been going on, we’re sure Post Malone will have more awards on the horizon.
13. Tyler, the Creator: Taller Than He Seems at 6’1” (185 cm)
Tyler, the Creator is another rapper who commands a tall presence, despite already standing at six feet and one inch, and has left his mark on the sneaker world through a long-running collaboration with Converse, releasing vibrant, fashion-forward designs under his Golf le Fleur line.
The American rapper and singer-songwriter first found success with his 2009 and 2011 releases—“Bastard” and “Goblin,” respectively—alongside the rap collective Odd Future.

Though Tyler, the Creator began his career with angry, violent, horror-inspired lyrics, he has since translated this anger into more beautiful, soulful releases like “Flower Boy” and “Igor.”
Now, he has dipped his talented toes into fashion, with his clothing and lifestyle brand GOLF becoming wildly popular within the fashion and music communities. The brand has even released nail polishes and perfumes, showing the rapper’s business savvy and creativity.
14. Lil Nas X: Commanding Presence at 6’2” (188 cm)
Standing six feet and two inches, Lil Nas X is a genre-blending artist who effortlessly fuses rap, pop, country, and beyond.
In March 2021, he made headlines with his controversial “Satan Shoes” launch—custom Nike Air Max 97s featuring a bronze pentagram, an inverted cross, and even a drop of real human blood.

Though he first rose to notoriety with “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X has since released many other notable hits, including “Panini,” “Rodeo,” and “That’s What I Want.”
The controversial rapper has made waves as the most nominated artist at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards and the first openly gay Black artist to win a Country Music Association Award.
15. Future: A Dominating 6’2” (188 cm) Figure in Rap
One of the most popular pioneers of “mumble rap,” Future stands out in a crowd for far more than his height of six feet and two inches.
This Georgia native has been a staple on hot rap playlists since 2014 and frequently collaborates with other artists like Drake, Young Thug, and Metro Boomin.

Despite Future’s impressive discography, which includes hits like “F*ck Up Some Commas,” “Low Life,” “Mask Off,” “Life Is Good,” and “Way Too Sexy,” he has won fewer accolades than his peers.
Future has been nominated 85 times for various prestigious awards, including the Grammy Awards, BET Awards, American Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards. Award Wins: Despite the many nominations, Future has only won 6 awards.
16. Jack Harlow: Impressive Stature and Talent at 6’2 ¼” (188 cm)
Standing tall at six feet two and a quarter inches, Jack Harlow continues to elevate not just charts but also sneaker culture—his first collaboration with New Balance dropped in October 2024, featuring a striking colorway that quickly turned heads.
After his song “Whats Poppin” went wildly viral on TikTok, earning more than 135 million plays on the platform, Harlow’s profile quickly became larger-than-life.

His 2020 debut album, Thats What They All Say, became a smash hit and is now certified platinum. The rapper has since collaborated with several of the rappers on this list, including DaBaby, Kanye West, and Lil Nas X.
Jack Harlow made his acting debut in the 2023 American sports comedy film White Men Can’t Jump. Basketball (and basketball) movies usually feature tall athletes. Harlow rightfully reprises a role originally played by Woody Harrelson, who is four and one-fourth inches smaller at five feet, ten inches.
17. MGK (Machine Gun Kelly): A Towering Talent at 6’3.5″ (191.8 cm)
Born Richard Colson Baker but known by his stage name MGK (formerly Machine Gun Kelly), this towering figure hailing from Houston, Texas, is not just your average rapper.
Standing at an impressive 6 feet and 3 ½ inches, the American rapper commands attention on and off the stage. His height isn’t just a physical attribute; it’s a symbol of his larger-than-life presence in the industry.

With a genre-blending style that merges alternative rock with hip hop, his chart-topping hits like “Sail,” “Till I Die,” and “Wild Boy” demonstrate the importance of musical innovation in the world of rap.
Beyond the mic, MGK’s silver screen ventures solidify his status as a multifaceted talent. His versatility and charisma are showcased in films such as the romantic drama Beyond the Lights, the techno-thriller Nerve, and the horror film Bird Box.
18. G-Eazy: Reaching New Heights at 6’3.75″ (192.4 cm)
Gerald Earl Gillum, better known as G-Eazy, doesn’t just dominate the rap game with his undeniable talent – he towers over the competition, with a towering height of 6 feet and three ¾ inches.
From his early days in Oakland to chart-topping success with hits like “I Mean It” and “Me, Myself & I,” G-Eazy’s rise has been matched by his growing influence in fashion—including his official partnership with PUMA, announced in October 2019 and celebrated for its fusion of streetwear and classic athletic style.

With multiple albums reaching impressive chart positions, including “These Things Happen” and “The Beautiful & Damned,” he’s proven that size isn’t the only thing that matters in hip-hop, but it sure doesn’t hurt.
Beyond his musical achievements, G-Eazy’s romantic escapades, including his relationship with Halsey, immortalized in the platinum hit “Him & I,” have added layers to his fame.
19. Waka Flocka Flame: Setting Records at 6’ 4″ (193 cm)
Waka Flocka Flame, originally Juaquin James Malphurs, isn’t just a towering presence in the rap game – he’s a force to be reckoned with, standing tall at 6 feet and 4 inches.
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, he burst onto the scene with hits like “O Let’s Do It” and “No Hands,” which received diamond certification by the RIAA.

His debut album “Flockaveli” soared to number six on the Billboard 200, setting the stage for his continued success with follow-up projects like “Triple F Life: Friends, Fans & Family.”
With a stature as towering as his record-breaking hits, Waka Flocka Flame demonstrates that size is a significant factor in hip-hop.
20. Snoop Dogg: An Iconic 6’4” (193 cm) in the Music World
Snoop Dogg remains one of the most influential figures in hip-hop—and also one of the tallest, standing at an impressive six feet and four inches. Known for frequently rocking Converse Chuck Taylors, he’s embraced the sneaker as a symbol of West Coast rap culture.

21. 2 Chainz: Reaching Towering Achievements at 6′ 4.25″ (193.7 cm)
Towering at 6 feet 4¼ inches, 2 Chainz—born Tauheed K. Epps in College Park, Georgia—has captivated audiences with chart-topping hits like “Duffle Bag Boy,” and brought his larger-than-life persona into the fashion world with the bold “2 Chain Reaction” sneaker collaboration with Versace, which debuted in 2019.
The American rapper rose to fame as one-half of the duo Playaz Circle before carving out his solo career. For fans of Atlanta hip-hop and beyond, 2 Chainz stands tall as an icon of the genre.

An impressive stature matches his towering achievements, including a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance for his feature on Chance the Rapper’s “No Problem.”
By teaming up with hip-hop heavyweights such as Lil Wayne and Drake, 2 Chainz has demonstrated that success in hip-hop has limitless possibilities. He has also extended his influence beyond his musical achievements, gracing screens as the host of Vice TV’s “Most Expensivest.”
22. Dave East: Dominating Music and Movies at 6’ 4.75″ (194.9 cm)
Standing at an imposing 6 feet 4¾ inches, Harlem rapper and actor Dave East isn’t just a towering presence in music and Hollywood—he’s also made his mark in footwear, teaming up with Diadora for a sneaker collaboration that launched at Foot Locker in early 2023.
Discovered and signed by rap legend Nas with his label Mass Appeal Records, the American rapper’s ascent to fame has been meteoric since his breakthrough mixtape “Black Rose” caught the industry’s attention.

As co-CEO of Rap Hustlaz, alongside rapper Jack Frost, and collaborations with heavyweights like Mike Jones, Nelly, and Jim Jones showcase his influence and versatility.
Despite not being the most mainstream name, his towering height is matched only by his towering achievements in hip-hop. His accolades speak volumes, including a Grammy nomination and multiple BMI awards, earned in part for his work on Drake’s “Best I Ever Had.”
24. Yung Gravy: Towering at 6’6” (198 cm) with Unique Charm
Although Yung Gravy isn’t considered the crème-de-la-crème of rap (considering the success of some of the rappers on this list), we had to include him simply because he is massive at a height of six feet and six inches.
Yung Gravy’s music is smooth and often features satirical, tongue-in-cheek lyrics and samples from classic songs.

The rapper has found a lot of success on the video-sharing app TikTok, where he has established himself as a lover of MILFs. You can see many videos of fans tagging Yung Gravy in videos of their hot moms.
He surprised everyone when he showed up with Addison Rae‘s mom, Sheri Nicole Easterling, on the VMAs red carpet. She is 16 years older than he is.
“I’m from the furthest north it gets, she’s from the furthest south it gets,” Yung Gravy said of meeting Easterling online. “I’m into MILFs and she’s kind of the queen of MILFs, so I figured it was just a perfect match.”

“They’re more experienced. They are an under-serviced community. I’d like to say and they deserve more attention, so I thought that’d be the one,” he told ET about his preference for older women.
“And I’ve noticed that people really have started giving MILFs more attention since my music dropped.” At least we know that if his career doesn’t take off, he can live a long and fruitful life as someone’s stepfather.
