The SoundCloud rapper became famous after his debut album, ‘A Love Letter To You,’ especially its single ‘Love Scars,’ scaled the charts. In the show, he cited Lil Wayne and Drake as his favorites and the artists who greatly inspired him.

Getting the picture, Redd said, “Oh, like Royal families.” Tyson continued, “The Greeks too, the Greeks too, yeah, and they all came out to be idiots.” Laughing, Joseph Day said that it was pretty obvious.
