In a candid interview with VladTV, YSL Mondo shared insights into the early days of Young Thug's career and their intricate bond with Birdman. Mondo reminisces about the thrilling days of 2013 when the Rich Gang album surfaced with Young Thug making strong waves. A pivotal moment for their crew, Mondo highlights the unique bond they formed with Birdman, illustrated by the symbolic exchange of tattoos. Birdman, revered by Mondo as the greatest hip-hop CEO, even got a YSL tattoo engraved on his finger, signifying his deep association with their crew.
Mondo clarified that although Birdman endorsed them significantly, Young Thug's breakthrough song "Stoner" had gained momentum before Birdman's full involvement. However, Birdman's presence bolstered their standing in the hip-hop community, particularly during the "Rich Gang" era. Dubbed as a family affair by Mondo, this period was filled with mutual respect and camaraderie, crucial for propelling Young Thug to stardom. YSL Mondo fondly recalls the era as a family-centered, love-filled, and pivotal chapter of their lives.
