Lil Baby has built a career off telling near-mythical stories of how he accumulated a lot of cash. Keeping with this theme, the rapper explained how he was able to flip $60 into $100,000 after being released from prison. And to give you a hint, it wasn't through stocks and bonds.
Last week, a video started to circulate on the internet in which Lil Baby's sister recalled the time she saw him turn less than $100 into $100,000. In the video, she said that Baby asked his mom and his two sisters for $20 apiece. They felt compelled to give him the money because it was out of his character to ask them for cash. This sparked a week-long binge of street activity that resulted in a major profit.
"We went in his room just being nosey," his sister said. "Me and my sister counted $100,000 with our bare hands. He gonna come through all the time."
After the video went viral, Lil Baby stopped by the Hot Freestyle Instagram page to add context to the story.
