During a February interview with Business Insider, Yo Gotti talked about teaching his CMG artists about the importance of money management.
“Stay focused, be consistent,” he said. “And one of the things I’ve been on lately, big thing I’ve been on, is money management. You know, we see a lot of money. We make a lot of money. It’s easy to spend the money. It’s harder to keep it and save it, you know? So I’m on some wealth shit right now, with my guys that I’m working with.”
