Tip and the famed museum honored Moneybagg with an iced-out ring.

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.
