Speaking with Billboard ‘s Carl Lamarre, the “Said Sum” rapper first discussed his hit collaboration with Morgan Wallen , “Whiskey Whiskey,” which debuted at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 .
Offering up his feelings on the song’s success, Moneybagg Yo said, “It feels good and it’s kind of going how we kind of planned it, where he was really pressuring me on it and I was just like, ‘Ehh,’ but then, you know because it’s always something new for you and unexpected … it’s going crazy right now.”
Asked if the success of “Whiskey Whiskey” is making him think of leaning more into the country space, Moneybagg Yo told Billboard , “After these next two albums I’m fixing to drop before the summer is over, I think after that, going into the winter or something, I think I’m going to do a country album, a country EP or something.”
