Birdman, the rap king, has released a fresh word which he interprets as freedom and victory. The co-founder of Cash Money Records wrote a note that was quite brief but very deep which has already created a buzz among his followers. He said he is a free man in his own universe and he illustrated it with his nicknames and hashtags that point to his fame and riches.

Birdman, who was the one behind the scenes to support the likes of Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj, never gets tired of his victory parades. His latest presence on the Internet is, however, a prime example of such. The post, to put it bluntly, said: ‘N MY OWN WORLD 🌎 STUNNAMAN 🦅🐐👌#IDOIT4MSGLADYS @cashmoneyofficial #richgang💰’. It speaks of arrogance as much as it does of the artist’s unique standing in the music world. The tag ‘#IDOIT4MSGLADYS’ is an everlasting tribute to his late mother, a signal of the intrinsic motivation which drives him to such an extent.
Public opinion quickly reacted in a respectful manner, the sort of respect that is appropriate for a legend in the hip hop community. Someone quoted a phrase that has been usually associated with Birdman and his crew, remarking, ‘5ive ALIVE TO THE SKY 🖐🏿❤️🖤💚’. This catchphrase has been associated with Cash Money for a while and represents their unwaveringness and victories against the odds.
Another person, who had the guts to say ‘Tycoon Royalty,’ granted the king with glorious acknowledgment. The comment with a heap of crowns and money bags accurately reflected the image of wealth and power that Birdman has cultivated over the years. It also implies that he is not only seen as a rap star but also as a creator of fortunes.
The post was irresistible for a good number of direct requests. An unknown but aspiring singer made a clear, open demand: ‘Yo birdman let’s work king’. It is very common to see this in the comments of stars—the assumption that a bond can be formed through the sharing of same message. Another user took a more rude and comical approach to expressing his wish: ‘can I come to BirdWorld? please, playboy?’. This amusing user’s request to enter into the rapper’s world is a confirmation of the artist’s power to develop a myth around one’s lifestyle.
One very sharp and very profound user commented on a particular adoration with, ‘I have been watching you for so long it seems like ..you like @nba_youngboy so d@mn much😍🔥’. This is to highlight the fact that Birdman aka Stunnaman has always been the biggest supporter of the Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy, whom he has congratulated and even collaborated with. So, it indicates, his ongoing influence and talent scout quality in the rap game.
Another one, who is a fan, was very straightforward and in the end, impactful with the words, ‘Fly in any weather @birdman’. This is indeed a feeling for someone who goes by the name ‘Birdman’ which implies that he can become even stronger in the toughest situations; exactly the opposite of the tale of his story about the rise of an empire from the ashes.

For an artist whose establishment in hip-hop since the 90s has been the commercial one, Birdman’s posts are more than just a few lines; they are his announcement, as it were, of his rank. He is a ‘Stunnaman’ who is in his own world and operates on his own terms. The comments are from a community that is familiar, if not to the point of being bored, with this self-made monarchy and that does recognize it and hence celebrate it. They don’t regard him merely as a performer but rather a living emblem of ‘getting there’ the hard way. The post that seems to be very brief has, nonetheless, become an element of the continuous legacy of one of the most powerful and longest-lasting music moguls. Fans were also excited about the recent Rich Gang merchandise launch. The emotional tribute in his post connects deeply with his previous honor for his mother Ms. Gladys. This sentiment of family and legacy is further echoed in his music, such as the track he finally released on all streaming platforms after fan demand.
