Moneybagg also recently received a major co-sign from Grammy-winning hitmaker Pharrell, who said “Moneybagg is my favorite, favorite, favorite, right now” on the OTHERtone podcast. He also found himself at the forefront of yet another viral moment. A meme circulated after President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package and the internet referred to him as Moneybagg Joe.
