Gravy's music has been described as both satirical and "groovy," a fitting description because the rapper does look like someone took everything awesome about the 1970s and put it into a blender. But he is not just loved for his music, talented though he is. Gravy is equally as popular for his notorious sensuality, which manifests mostly around his advocation for MILFs (if you don't know that means look it up). What else has made Yung Gravy the sensation that he is now?

8 His Education

Yung Gravy's real name is Matthew Raymond Hauri. He was born in Minnesota and attended the University of Wisconsin where he got a degree in marketing. This average, common-man background, is arguably one of the many things that endears Yung Gravy to his fans. Unlike many other stars, he is no "nepo baby." He went to college and comes from an average middle-American family. Although his father, Peter Mauri, is a Swiss immigrant, and fun fact; Gravy has dual citizenship in the U.S. and Switzerland thanks to his father.

7 His Influences

Fans can also relate to Gravy's music tastes. An original creator on his merit, Yung Gravy has cited groups like Outkast and Three 6 Mafia as some of his major influences. He has also cited Smokey Robinson and The Blackbyrds as some of his favorites. Such eclectic tastes have only seemed to have helped his career.

6 His Fashion Sense

Yung Gravy is also well known for his look as he is for his music. With shirts that look like throwbacks to something Hunter Thompson wore during his debaucherous trip to Las Vegas in 1971, combined with long curly hair, a clean beard, and usually long gold chains, Yung Gravy has found a way to make the sleazy 1970s adult film star look fashionable. The adult film star reference made here might seem like a reach right now, but read on and one will see why it is a fair comparison.

5 His Sense Of Humor

Yung Gravy is also one to laugh at himself. Videos on Tiktok have emerged featuring him doing skits for Comedy Central. A viral bit was one where he played a "human taxidermist" and delivered the stuffed corpses of dead people to their loved ones. The film parodies those corny "hope porn" or "inspiration porn" videos that constantly make rounds on our For You Pages.

4 His Honesty

Yung Gravy is notorious for his sex life. He has women throwing themselves at him left and right. In a clip he shared on his TikTok Gravy discusses with a podcaster how a male fan let his girlfriend hook up with him. Yung Gravy was that couple's "Hall Pass" (again, look it up). But Gravy candidly admits in the interview that had the girl told him she was in a relationship, he would not have gone through with it. The funniest part of the story was that the male fan seemed stoked about the whole thing, according to Yung Gravy.

3 His Sensuality

As one has gathered by now Yung Gravy is famous for sex and his sensual demeanor. The famously suave rapper has been spotted with several beautiful women. He has also shared clips of himself sharing time with some of the world's most famous adult film stars, including Lisa Ann, Angela White, and Kendra Lust.

2 His Game

Speaking of which, in addition to pulling these famously sexy women, Yung Gravy blew up the internet amid one of its most infamous scandals of the 2020s. In October 2022, Ned Fulmer of the Try Guys was caught cheating on his wife. Up until then, Fulmer was one of the most famous "wife guys" (once again, look it up) online. The blatant disregard for his reputation, and the fact his affair was with an employee of his, led to Fulmer being expelled from The Try Guys. Fans have been reeling from the scandal ever since, but in a moment of pure opportunity, Yung Gravy both followed Ned Fulmer's wife AND got a follow back. Fellas, don't cheat, because Yung Gravy won't just slide into your partner's DMs, he will swoop in like a stealth bomber.

1 His Music

Lastly, and this really should go without saying, another obvious reason Yung Gravy has become so popular so quickly is his music. The combination of styles, the "groovy" smoothness, and the fun lyrics are all contributions to the very thing that makes Yung Gravy, Yung Gravy. And that thing is his music. Anyone can be a sensual 1970s throwback, but not everyone can do that while also being a talented musician. While the character of Yung Gravy and the persona he has created for himself sometimes outpaces the fame from his music, his art will always be the anchor that tethers him to the hearts of fans.
