Young Thug Paid Lil Baby To Leave The Hood & Become A Rapper

Lil Baby recently revealed that Young Thug paid him to leave the hood to become a rapper. Lil Baby had this to say to XXL…

“Young Thug, he gave me all the jewels,” Baby shares. “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.”

He also details a time when he posted a snippet on Instagram of one of the earlier songs he recorded, and Gucci Mane commented, “I’ma sign him.” “And Thug was like, ‘He already signed to me.’ And then from then on, I just start like every day, I ain’t stop. I’m here now”

Lil Baby gives credit to Young Thug for getting him off the streets and getting him focused solely on music. So for that we thank Thug….
