“I’m on the way to L.A.,” he said in a video. “My birthday Monday, Baby gave me $100,000 last night. Thank you twin.”
Gunna and Lil Baby released their joint album Drip Harder in 2018 and have previously teased a sequel. During a July 2019 interview, Lil Baby revealed Gunna helped him learn how to rap.
“When I started rapping he actually started helping me rap,” he said. “I done paid Gunna to write my songs. I never put the songs out, but when I first started to rap I used to pay him like $100. I ain’t never recorded the songs and put them out, but that’s how I used to practice to try to get it right. ‘Cause I just started rapping out of nowhere. I would get him to show me little stuff, like how to record a hook. I ain’t know none of that.”
