Moneybagg Yo is having one of the best years of his career so far. The Memphis rapper has experienced mainstream success with his album Time Served, clocking in his best position on the charts and enjoying his highest sales ever. The album features DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, Future, Summer Walker, Blac Youngsta, and more.

Announcing several weeks ago that the deluxe version was in the works, it looks like the tracklist is complete. The Big Speaker shared which new songs we can expect this week.

Already sharing “Me Vs Me” from the upcoming deluxe edition of Time Served, Moneybagg Yo unveiled the full tracklist that will be dropping this Friday. There will be a total of seven songs added, with new features from Lil Baby, Rylo Rodriguez, Big 30, and more. In total, the deluxe will have twenty-two tracks.

This will continue the hot streak that Moneybagg Yo has been on, following up on the success of the album with its inevitable re-issue. Let us know which song you’re most excited to hear and be sure to pre-order the album on your streaming service of choice. The deluxe version of Time Served will officially be out on May 15.

Moneybagg Yo is officially dropping a deluxe edition of his most recent album, Time Served, and it’ll be here before you know it. The Memphis rapper first released the album back in January, marking the third studio album of his career following 2018’s Reset and 2019’s 43va Heartless. With features from artists like Future, DaBaby, Lil Baby, Blac Youngsta, Summer Walker, Fredo Bang, and even Moneybagg’s ex-girlfriend, Megan Thee Stallion, the album was met with relatively positive reception, even peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

For over a month now, Moneybagg has been teasing a deluxe version of Time Served, insisting that it was on the way. However, fans had yet to receive a concrete release date until now. Moneybagg took to Instagram on Friday to make an exciting announcement about Time Served Deluxe, and to apologize for the long wait.

“Time Served Deluxe: May 15th,” he wrote on a photo of the new cover art, which features a darker backdrop and red roses instead of black. “After This I Ain’t Slowing Up !! #Sorry4TheWait.” While fans may have to wait another three weeks to hear these deluxe tracks, it’s sure to be worth it.

Are you excited to hear the deluxe version of Time Served?

Memphis rappers Moneybagg Yo and Blac Youngsta are currently promoting their single “123,” which is a favorite from the former’s brand new Time Served album. With the official music video on the way, the two recording artists have been posting behind-the-scenes photos from the set, goofing off with props and playing off their “dimes and pennies” comparison on social media. In the chorus to the popular song, Blac Youngsta ponders why he would ever “switch out a dime for a penny” and, in a new post, Moneybagg Yo offers some insight on why it might actually be favorable.

“A #Dime Can Be Bad Asf But Keep U Wit A Headache Come Wit So Many Problems And Wants U To Keep Her Polished Up,” says Bagg in his caption, proudly holding up a penny in the picture. “A #Penny Can Be Basic, But She Loyal, Treat U Like A King, Do Everything U Ask And More. Question: Which One You Want ⁉️”

From the sounds of it, Moneybagg Yo would rather lay up with a penny over a dime, which angered the likes of his current girlfriend Ari Fletcher. She commented on the post, suggesting they call things off because, in her eyes, she’s the furthest thing from a 1/10. “Go back to your pennies,” she said.

Stay tuned for the “123” video, which is arriving soon.

The tremendous success of Moneybagg Yo’s most recent album, Time Served, continues to amaze the rap community. The Memphis artist has been hustling for a minute, exponentially seeing his streaming numbers and charting figures grow since the inception of his musical career. While he did not reach the top of the Billboard 200 — that spot is reserved for Roddy Ricch, after all — Bagg debuted at No. 3, which is a step up from his last project. In order to continue the push, the rapper is teaming up with DaBaby to film a music video for their collaboration “Protect Da Brand.” That’s all good and well but in a video announcing the upcoming clip, the two spitters are seen chilling by a helicopter and some fans are feeling uneasy about that following the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi, and seven others in a chopper crash. 

Announcing the music video on Instagram, Moneybagg Yo told fans to watch out for when he and Baby decide to drop the finished product. Aside from some comments from excited fans, much of the activity in his inbox stems from supporters who are worried about them taking flight, urging them to hop off the aircraft right this instance. 

“You better stop fuckin wit them helicopters,” wrote one commenter. “Right now is the wrong time for you guys to be doing a video to a helicopter,” said another. With Kobe Bryant’s death still being extremely fresh in our memories, do you think DaBaby and Moneybagg Yo should consider cutting any helicopter scenes from their video?

Moneybagg Yo has kicked off twenty-twenty with a bang, delivering his latest album Time Served last Friday; as of now, it’s looking at some nice first week numbers of 65k, according to Akademiks. With a full-scale press run currently underway, Moneybagg has officially announced plans to take his music on the road with the official Time Served tour. The rapper shared the complete dates on his IG page, revealing that Fredo Bang, 42 Dugg, and Blac Zacc would be holding down in a supporting capacity.

Beginning in March, Moneybagg will embark on an extensive North American tour, hitting cities like Indianapolis, Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Buffalo, Washington, New York, Atlanta, Nashville, Tampa, and Los Angeles before wrapping at the end of April. Should you be interested in attending, be sure to check back to Moneybagg’s IG page this Friday, when pre-sale kicks off at 10 AM.

Below are the full list of dates and cities for your perusal. Are you interested in catching Moneybagg Yo, Fredo Bang, 42 Dugg, and Blac Zacc live and direct? 

Moneybagg Yo continues to see his profile rise, working hard on the creative front to open eyes and project his brand to a wide array of potential newcomers. The Memphis rapper has been hustling for years, getting his sound right and telling tales from the streets. In recent months, his romantic life has been the subject of many gossip-y headlines but, at the center of it all, his music kept people interested in seeing what Bagg could accomplish next. Previously, he has achieved new heights with his 43VA Heartless project in 2019, moving 40K units in its first week out, but the buzzing artist is on pace to top himself by quite a large margin again after releasing his new project Time Served. 

Did I think I was going to be starting out my Monday morning by stitching together photos of Kylie Jenner and Moneybagg Yo? No, but I embrace the unexpected. Mind you, there’s nothing too surprising about Kylie posting on social media with some hot new hip hop playing in the background. There have been several cases of her offering seemingly free promo to rappers. Whether she’s paid or not, you can be assured that a sizable faction of her 157 million Instagram followers are going to take interest in whatever song she’s jamming to and head over to their preferred streaming service to save it. 

Most recently, these followers were just put on to Moneybagg Yo’s single, “U Played”, which features Lil Baby and is produced by Tay Keith. In an Instagram story, Kylie is seen bumping Moneybagg as she rides around with friends. The video was taken the same evening that Kylie went to a Rosalía concert and flaunted her love affair with the Spanish singer backstage. 

“U Played” appears on Moneybagg’s new project that dropped this past Friday, entitled Time Served. The project came as a surprise, as Moneybagg’s new boo, Ari Fletcher, announced it just a few days before its release. Things have been heating up quickly for the couple, as Moneybagg has already vowed to stand by Ari forever. 

Things have heated up quickly in Moneybagg Yo and Ari Fletcher’s relationship. Just a couple of weeks ago, we were speculating whether they were dating because of some suggestive posts and public sightings. Now, it can be confirmed with certainty that they are a new couple in the world of hip hop.

Ari was the one to announce last week that Moneybagg was dropping a mixtape, titled Time Served, on Friday. Moneybagg then formally revealed their relationship status during a Hot 97 interview. “We rockin’, you know what I’m saying? What you see is what you get,” he said. The rapper also took to Instagram to express just how smitten he is for Ari. “Ian never leaving my Bih she a dime,” he vowed in a post to his story. “Y would I switch out a dime for a penny?”

Putting this all together, it’s no surprise that Ari was Moneybagg’s date to his album release party. A video shows him wrapping his arms around his new boo’s waist as she poses for the cameras. 

Last week, Ari’s ex-boyfriend and father of her child, G Herbo, plead guilty to assaulting her in April, yet he will not serve any jail time for the offense. 

On the same day Moneybagg Yo dropped off a new project called Time Served, the Memphis rapper sat down with Ebro Darden for Beats1. While a few different topics are raised, one of the most interesting tidbits stems from Ebro inquiring about Moneybagg’s former relationship with Megan Thee Stallion.

“Was it being in public that made it hard, or did you fuck it up?” asks Ebro. Moneybagg chuckles. “Two strong personalities just bumping heads a lot,” admits the rapper. “It didn’t work but I always wish her the best. I’m really proud of her. The Megan I know and the Megan ya’ll know are two different things. It’s still love, we just didn’t see eye to eye.” He explains that time also played a role in complicating matters, though he ultimately found a solution for that. “That’s why I ended up getting a dog for her, cause I feel it’ll still be a part of me,” says Moneybagg. “Ya’ll cute!” replies a beaming Ebro. 

He also opens up about his brand new album Time Served, which features Lil Baby, DaBaby, Future (who may or may not have sent subs at Scottie Pippen), and more. Specifically speaking on “Federal Fed,” Moneybagg explains it’s part of an ongoing series he’s been working on. “I did Federal by myself,” he says. “Then I did the reloaded version when I ended up getting a little money. I put it back out for the people that didn’t hear it, then I ended up getting with Gotti for ‘2 Federal.’ And then I did ‘Federal 3X.'” He also explains that he and Future are fans of each other’s music, teasing some unreleased material in the cut.

Moneybagg Yo and Megan Thee Stallion were undoubtedly the “it” couple in hip-hop in 2019. Despite the self-proclaimed Hot Girl Summer, Megan Thee Stallion and Moneybagg Yo were spotted side by side in public quite frequently. But the two drifted apart and called it quits, leaving both artists back on the market. 

Although Megan Thee Stallion hasn’t confirmed that she’s in a relationship or seeing anyone recently, Moneybagg Yo has been popping up with a familiar face here and there. That familiar face would be Ari Fletcher who has a child with G Herbo. Rumors that they’ve been together surfaced online for a while but it seems that they’ve officially made things official. After Ari Fletcher announced Moneybagg’s forthcoming project, Time Served due out this Friday, Moneybagg confirmed that the two are indeed seeing each other. “Yeah,” he responded to Hot 97’s TT Torez on whether he’s dating Ari. “We rockin’, you know what I’m saying? What you see is what you get.” Despite confirming it, he made it clear he wasn’t really trying to discuss his relationship status.

In more exciting news, with the rapper’s new project Time Served dropping this Friday, it has now been confirmed that Moneybagg Yo is officially on the Roc Nation roster. The rapper tagged Roc Nation on his post which was later confirmed on the label’s IG. “Join us as we welcome @moneybaggyo to the Roc Nation family… His new album #TimeServed releases this Friday! #RocFam?,” the post read alongside the album’s cover art.

Congratulations to Moneybagg Yo on his new deal as well as his newly confirmed relationship.
