Songfacts®:

  • I don't like nobody
    We can get gangsta, we can keep it cordial
    How you wanna go 'bout it?


    From his early years when he performed in the Memphis clubs and strip clubs, Moneybagg Yo has maintained a consistent hard working ethic. During this brash and savage track, he addresses the haters who've spread false rumors about how he's achieved his success and the fakes who've jumped on his bandwagon.
  • YC and RealRed supplied the production. YC was also the beatmaker for Moneybagg Yo's breakthrough single "Said Sum."
  • Ben Marc directed the playful video, which finds MoneyBagg inside a room full of television screens. He holds a press conference on the fictitious OPPS 8 news channel and also appears as Reggie Hayes' William Dent character from the 2000s UPN/CW show Girlfriends. Fans have referenced on social media fans the resemblance between the Memphis rapper and William Dent.

    Ben Marc previously directed the flashy clip for Moneybagg's "Said Sum Remix."
  • This is the lead single from MoneyBagg Yo's fourth studio album, A Gangsta's Pain. The record debuted atop the Billboard 200, giving the rapper his first ever #1 album. Moneybagg's previous best chart placing was the #3 he achieved with his 2020 set, Time Served.
