Plaqueboymax gave his honest thoughts on unemployment and financial struggles during a recent livestream.
In a clip from his "Just Chatting" livestream that circulated on social media earlier this week, Max addressed the jobless viewers in his chat, suggesting that some people are simply destined to remain broke.
But according to Max, being unemployed is "fine."
"If you don't got a job right now, whoever's jobless in chat, which is perfectly fine, we all move at our own pace, some n***as are meant to be broke for life," Max said. "But, if you're going to be broke, at least be a happy broke n***a. Imagine being depressed and broke. Now what? Like, deadass, where do you go? 'Cause you depressed, so you not gon' be motivated to get a job. At least be happy and broke."
He went on to say that people who are struggling financially might as well enjoy their lives instead of adding emotional distress on top of their situation.
"So, if you broke n***a, just live like how you want," the record producer said. "Your shit already in the dough, deadass!"
DDG is a fellow streamer who isn't so cool with being unemployed: He stated in April during a livestream that he has to keep working, or else he'll go broke trying to maintain his high cost of living, which includes bills and family expenses.
"I have to make money. Bills are high," DDG said. "Did I tell you how much my bills is a month? N***a, my bills high as shit. If I don't work, I'ma go broke ASAP.
"Like, I have to work," he added at the time. "I don't have a choice. It ain't 'bout me trying to pocket some money. I have multiple homes, multiple cars. I have family. I have a child. I spend a lot of money."
