As America waits for the next installment of stimulus checks to hit bank accounts, Moneybagg Yo is boasting about his financial come up during the pandemic. It's safe to say that 2020 was the curveball that no one expected as the global pandemic has caused thousands of businesses to permanently close while just as many others are still struggling to stay afloat. Millions of people found themselves jobless while others attempted to adjust to working from home and the entertainment industry was placed on pause as studios figured out a new gameplan. However, some artists have been able to make the pandemic work in their favor, and Moneybagg is celebrating his accomplishments.
