Undeniably, it is Moneybagg Yo's time to shine as the Memphis rapper has continued to climb the charts. With each new release, Moneybagg reaches a new milestone in his career, and quickly, he has become one of the most sought-after artists in the industry. His albums have taken over No. 1 positions and his singles have been the subject of viral social media challenges, so it makes sense that T.I. and the Trap Musc Museum would honor the A Gangsta's Pain hitmaker.

On Instagram, T.I. dedicated a post to Moneybagg and showed off a championship-like ring with "Trap Music Museum" set in diamonds.


"On behalf of The Trap Music Museum @trapmusicmuseum I'm Honored to present 2021's Trapper of the Year award [medal emoji] to @moneybaggyo," Tip wrote in the caption."Bro you've become one of the industry's most talented, consistent hit makers & last year you spread out & stood on business about your art.

It didn't take long for fans to congratulate Moneybagg Yo on the recognition and in the comment section, the rapper jumped in to say, "Preciate det bro [crowne moji][handshake emoji]."
