YG is seen within the music video holding a Ledger cold storage USB on the point of a smartphone that has a screen bearing a wallet app with more than $30.6 million price of BTC in it.
Keenon Dequan Ray Jackson, the rapper who goes by the name YG seems to point out off a fat $30 million stack of Bitcoin (BTC) in his latest music video.
The reveal seems to either be an eye-watering — however probably fake — flex, or a crafty little bit of product placement, as a chilly storage device from crypto wallet supplier Ledger is featured prominently within the video. The social team from Ledger was on that immediately too:
In one in all the scenes of the music video for the song titled “Scared Money” that includes J. Cole and Moneybagg Yo, YG is seen holding a Ledger case on the brink of a smartphone that includes a screen bearing a case app with more than $30.6 million value of BTC in it.
While the image might have simply been faked, rappers are standard for flaunting their wealth and success, particularly therefore during this song that includes a theme focused on cash, investment and carrying half a million dollars value of jewelry around one's neck.
YG is sort of the BTC mortal, as he has mentioned owning digital gold in multiple different songs like “Big Bank” from 2018, and conjointly in an interview with RollingStone from mid-2021.
During that interview YG said that he likeable the simplicity of hodling crypto as he might invest his cash into the plus category while not being distracted from his music career. He actor comparisons to the important estate market, wherever he would have to be compelled to pay loads time operating and learn to try to to it with success.
“I f*ck with Bitcoin. I got Ethereum recently and that i got Dogecoin recently however I’ve had Bitcoin for regarding 3 years. [...] Bitcoin came over and it absolutely was like ‘what?’ and that i will simply get laid and it turns into that?” he said in regard to the booming value of the plus last year.
In a Reddit post on the r/Bitcoin Reddit community earlier these days, users were questioning YG’s mammoth BTC stack, with AvoidMyRange stating that “the likelihood of of these ending at 0 and the cents ending in .00 is unbelievably low. this can be clearly pretend.”
“It is pretend as a result of that isn’t even the layout of the ledger app,” user AKeveryday responded.
Other users saw the funny aspect of YG’s music-based BTC antics, with Redditor Lexstell11 doing the mathematics on the lyrics from the large Bank song once BTC was priced round the middle $7,000 range.
“In YG’s song Big Bank, he says ‘I might buy her red bottoms with the crypto- 3 coins that’ll pay your whole semester…’ the song was released on 5/25/2018 when BTC was $7,459 at close. So presumably YG paid $132,000 by today’s conversion for a girl's semester at what I’m assuming was University of Phoenix. I think about this a lot.”
