Y’all might think Big Sad is just another rapper with face tats and a fast car—but don’t get it twisted.
Before the fame, he was a finalist in the Math Olympics in high school and locked down a full academic scholarship to UPenn, majoring in Finance. Dude interned at a hedge fund and, word is, stacked over a million through salary and savvy investments before he ever touched a mic.
He didn’t just stumble into the streets—he got put on to the Playboy Gangster Crips not through violence, but because he made serious money for the set using stock options and futures. That had some OGs side-eyeing him at first, but the numbers spoke louder than any pistol.
So when you see Big Sad pulling up in that whip, don’t assume he’s just flexin’. He probably wrote it off on his taxes.
Street smart and Wall Street smart. Know the difference.
