Moneybagg Yo, whose been having a remarkable run with his fourth studio album, A Gangsta’s Pain, had something to say about all the chatter surrounding the best album of the year. According to the “Wockesha” rapper, he has the title alongside fellow Memphis native Pooh Shiesty, who also dropped his debut mixtape Shiesty Season in 2021.
“@MoneyBaggYo Can’t believe me & @pooh_shiesty made the 2 biggest albums this year #FreeDetMan #Memphis,” Moneybagg wrote in the tweet. Moneybagg Yo took the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 in his first and third week on the chart with A Gangsta’s Pain. The album is also the highest-selling Hip Hop album of 2021, with over 659,000 plus albums sold. Pooh Shiesty, on the other hand, trailed right behind him, selling 642,000 plus copies of Shiesty Season. That album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 but a month later peaked at No. 3.
