In a shocking turn of events, Memphis rapper Moneybagg Yo finds himself at the center of a fierce backlash from his own former crew, who accuse him of betrayal and selling out for fame. Tensions have escalated dramatically as old street rivalries resurface, with threats of violence looming over the artist’s head.
The trouble began when Moneybagg, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 Demario Dwayne White Jr., signed with Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group (CMG), a move that infuriated his old associates from South Memphis, who view Gotti’s North Memphis roots as a direct violation of street codes. Former friends are now branding him a “sellout,” claiming he abandoned his day-one homies in pursuit of success, and warning him that he can never return home.
Accusations intensified after a recording surfaced of an inmate, Stupid Duke, a former friend from Moneybagg’s youth, declaring that the rapper has crossed an irreparable line, igniting old wounds involving gang affiliations and bloodshed. Duke’s statements have fueled a wildfire of animosity, with many in the streets echoing his sentiments and calling for retribution.
Despite Moneybagg’s attempts to defend his choices, clarifying that his signing was not meant to disrespect anyone, he faces a relentless wave of criticism. The rapper, who rose from a life marked by hardship and violence, now sees his past haunting him as he tries to navigate the complexities of fame.
As the situation escalates, fans and insiders alike are left on edge, fearing that the feud could spiral into something much darker. Moneybagg’s life and career hang in the balance as he grapples with the consequences of his past decisions—a stark reminder that in the world of hip-hop, loyalty and betrayal are often a matter of life and death.
