Moneybagg Yo

Moneybagg Yo was born on September 22, 1991, in Memphis, Tennessee, to a single mother. He is the oldest of three siblings and was raised in the West Junction-Walker Homes neighborhood of South Memphis. According to Moneybagg Yo, he had a difficult childhood where his mother served the role of both parents and they often struggled with financial issues, including not having lights, furniture or running water at times. Despite his mother's best efforts to provide for her children and keep them safe, the struggles at home and strict rules she imposed would often lead Moneybagg to run away from home and seek refuge with friends or on the streets from a young age.{{Citation |title=Moneybagg Yo Exposed! | date=November 8, 2018 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfvnbQOSgac |pages=0:25–0:35 |language=en |access-date=2023-01-21 |archive-date=January 21, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230121181547/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfvnbQOSgac |url-status=live}}{{Cite journal |last=Grayson |first=Walker |date=3 August 2021 |title=Walker Ave |url=http://dlynx.rhodes.edu:8080/jspui/handle/10267/35965 |journal=Rhodes College Digital Archives - DLynx |access-date=January 20, 2023 |archive-date=January 20, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230120080620/http://dlynx.rhodes.edu:8080/jspui/handle/10267/35965 |url-status=live}}
