The seventh season of the series Show Me the Money, known as Show Me the Money 777 (also referred to as SMTM777), premiered on September 7, 2018, and ended on November 9, 2018. It is on broadcast every Friday at 23:00 KST on Mnet.

This season features judges Swings and Giriboy from Just Music, Deepflow and Nucksal of Vismajor Company (VMC), Paloalto of Hi-Lite Records and Code Kunst of AOMG, and The Quiett of Illionaire Records and Changmo of Ambition Musik.

Different from previous seasons, this season does not have the first preliminary round. Instead, the production crew watched over 13,000 audition videos and selected about 1,000 contestants. These selected contestants then were judged by the producers teams, and the qualified ones will move on to Round Two.[1]

There is a new betting system that is used this season. 200 million won (the winner's final prize money)[2] will be equally divided among the four producer teams (50 million won for each team) prior to Round Two, and can be used to evaluate each passed rapper's rap in the round.

The winner of this season was Nafla with Team Just Music's Swings and Giriboy as the winning producers.

Controversies

D.Ark was involved in a controversy, which explained that a 20-year-old woman, who claimed to be his ex-girlfriend, posted on social media that he had an intimate relationship with her,[11] and alleged he made her engage in "forced relations" during their relationship. After this controversy blew up, D.Ark posted a public apology through his personal Instagram, and stated that "he did meet with the female who made the allegation". He also mentioned that the two have cleared up the misunderstanding.[12] Regarding this controversy, Mnet have released an official statement that they will only air footage of D.Ark that is necessary to properly convey the efforts of the other contestants and the judges, instead of completely editing him out.[13] His song for the 1st Live Performances, titled "Trap Middle School Kid", was not released on various music sites, and his performance of the song on the show was also not uploaded on the official Mnet channel.
