Cole and Moneybagg Yo, YG is seen holding a Ledger wallet close to a smartphone which has a screen bearing a wallet app with more than $30.6 million worth of BTC in it. <\/p>\n<p>While the image could have easily been faked, rappers are well known for flaunting their wealth and success, especially so in this song which has a theme focused on spending money, investing and wearing half a million dollars worth of jewelry around one&#8217;s neck. <\/p>\n<p>YG is quite the BTC proponent, as he has mentioned owning digital gold in multiple other songs such as \u201cBig Bank\u201d from 2018, and also in an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xy9qfx2taHM\">interview<\/a> with RollingStone from mid-2021. <\/p>\n<p>During that interview YG said that he liked the simplicity of hodling crypto as he could invest his money into the asset class without being distracted from his music career. He drew comparisons to the real estate market, where he would have to spend a lot time working and learn to do it successfully.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI f*ck with Bitcoin. [&#8230;] I got Ethereum recently and I got Dogecoin recently but I\u2019ve had Bitcoin for about three years. [&#8230;] Bitcoin came around and it was like \u2018what?\u2019 and I can just do it and it turns into that?\u201d he said in reference to the booming price of the asset last year.<\/p>\n<p>In a Reddit <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/old.reddit.com\/r\/Bitcoin\/comments\/tm5yzo\/yg_flexing_his_30mil_btc_stash_in_new_music_video\/\">post<\/a> on the r\/Bitcoin Reddit community earlier today, users were questioning YG\u2019s mammoth BTC stack, with AvoidMyRange stating that \u201cthe chance of all these ending at 0 and the cents ending in .00 is incredibly low. This is obviously fake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is fake because that isn\u2019t even the layout of the ledger app,\u201d user AKeveryday responded. <\/p>\n<p>Other users saw the funny side of YG\u2019s music-based BTC antics, with Redditor Lexstell11 doing the math on the lyrics from the Big Bank song when BTC was priced around the mid $7,000 range. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn YG\u2019s song Big Bank, he says \u2018I might buy her red bottoms with the crypto- 3 coins that\u2019ll pay your whole semester\u2026\u2019 the song was released on 5\/25\/2018 when BTC was $7,459 at close. So presumably YG paid $132,000 by today\u2019s conversion for a girl&#8217;s semester at what I\u2019m assuming was University of Phoenix. I think about this a lot.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Year of sponsorships: Celebrities who embraced crypto in 2021<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Crypto has attracted a strong cohort of rappers over recent years, with icons such as Jay Z and NFT-bull Snoop Dogg both making heavy plays in the sector.
