Lil Baby Reveals How He Turned $60 Into $100,000 in a Week

HONK Magazine

Lil Baby is about his paper. The Atlanta rapper recently revealed how he made an epic flip when he got out of prison, turning $60 into $100,000 in a week.

On Saturday (June 27), an interview with one of the rapper’s sisters resurfaced online. In the clip, she recounts the situation. “[Lil Baby] asked my sister and my momma, ‘I need $20.’ Everybody gave him $20, ’cause he don’t ask for nothing,” she said. “So for him to come to us and ask for something, we like, ‘Hmm, okay.’ So we gave it to him. He stayed gone for like seven days. He was clean when he left. When he came back, he was a mess. We went in his room just being nosey. Me and my sister counted $100,000 with our bare hands. He gon’ come through all the time.”

Naturally, many people questioned how the rapper could turn $60 into $100,000 in seven days. Responding to an Instagram post about the legendary flip, Lil Baby gave a short explanation of how he quickly came up. “Majority came from a dice game,” he revealed. “Probably put 60$ on 2k then I ain’t loose for a week straight.”

And the rest is history.

The story only adds to the My Turn rapper’s street lore. Back in October, he told XXL Young Thug paid him to stop hustling after realizing his talent as a rapper.

“Young Thug, he gave me all the jewels,” Baby shared. “He literally paid me to leave the neighborhood. [He said], ‘Bruh you can rap, you got it. You could be next. You gotta leave the ’hood… I’ma pay you to come to the studio.’”

Leaving the streets alone has definitely paid off. Lil Baby is one of the most sought-after rappers in the game. His asking price for one verse is $100,000. He currently has the No. 1 album in the country.

Drake’s OVO Sale Hits Fresh Legal Dispute As Investor Claims Millions Owed

Drake

Drake’s OVO is facing another legal battle after investment firm Applied Real Intelligence (A.R.I.) alleged the lifestyle brand owes it millions of dollars and has not received any proceeds from OVO’s recent sale.

Applied Real Intelligence, or A.R.I., says OVO is still liable for debt it owes the investment firm under financing agreements. A.R.I. said the dispute over the unpaid money had already reached Canadian courts by the time OVO closed its blockbuster deal in August.

The investor now says it was left out of the proceeds from the deal between Authentic Brands Group and Vince Holding Corp., which finalized their acquisition of the Drake-founded lifestyle company. A.R.I. claims it received nothing from the transaction, even as it continues to dispute OVO and its claims of millions of dollars.

The fight shines a new spotlight on the financial obligations A.R.I. says the investment firm still owes OVO. The lender said it spent months chasing the company for money it says it still owes under the financing agreements.

The situation is a huge legal and financial problem for OVO, especially since the investor’s claims were not fresh when the sale took place. A.R.I. said its efforts to recover the alleged outstanding millions had been ongoing for months and that it brought the dispute to the Canadian court system before the deal involving Authentic Brands Group and Vince Holding Corp. was finalized.

In August, the deal closed for OVO, marking a major development for the company. But A.R.I.’s claims have also resulted in a separate financial dispute over the deal and the money the investment firm says it was owed.

For now, the debate is whether A.R.I. still owes millions to OVO and whether the investor received any money from the sale. The legal battle over the alleged unpaid financing obligations adds a new chapter to OVO’s story after the deal with Authentic Brands Group and Vince Holding Corp was already in Canadian courts.

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream

Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.

The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.

The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.

Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.
