Biography
editMoney Boy grew up in the 15th district of Vienna, Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus. By 2008, he studied journalism and communication at the University of Vienna. He graduated with the degree Magister philosophiae. His master's thesis was about gangsta rap in Germany. Before starting with rap, he played basketball for a long time. He initially wrote his lyrics in English. After his first public title, Ching, Chang, Chung, Money Boy caught attention in late summer 2010 after publishing his cover Version of Soulja Boy's Turn My Swag On; Dreh den Swag auf.[citation needed]
In 2015, he performed with members of the Glo Up Dinero Gang at the sold out VideoDays, including an ambiguous statement about recreational drug use at the end of his performance: "Drugs are bad, I confess that shit; but I am high, so I have no problems with it."[1][note 1]
