Rich Minion: the lyrics and their meaning

In the version of Rich Minion shared by Yeat and then deleted (so not official yet), we can hear him saying precisely that yes, he made a song for the Minions and he made a lot of money with it. “I count money”, he keeps repeating.

I count money
I count money
I count money
I swerve in a Humvee
I just went crazy, I did it
I just went crazy, I did it, huh
I just went crazy, I did it, huh
I just went crazy, I did it
I made a song for the Minions, uh
How much they paid me? A million, uh

In the song he goes as far as saying that he calls his children his Minions, and he also says explicitely that he doesn’t like Vector, the notorious villain of Minions universe.
