00:00G. Herbo pays his 7-year-old son $1,000 to perform on stage during his Chicago concert.
00:06G. Herbo just reminded fans that legacy starts at home.
00:10The Chicago rapper went viral this week after a video showed him paying his 7-year-old son Yoson $1,000 in cash for performing a song on stage during his Swerve and Friends birthday bash concert.
00:22Among the surprises that night was the appearance of his son, Yoson Santana Wright, known affectionately by fans as Baby Crash.
00:30He performed a playful remix of Hit the Road Jack, complete with age-appropriate bars and swagger that echoed his father's flow.
00:38The 35-second clip that swept social media wasn't heavily produced or staged.
00:43He doing one song, a thousand, Herbo says, holding the money in one hand while reminding his son to bag it up.
00:49G. Herbo even jokes about his own early grind, telling The Room his first show only paid him $500.
00:56What made this moment resonate wasn't the money itself.
01:00By paying his son for a show, he wasn't just rewarding effort.
01:04He was showing that talent and time have value even within family.
01:08Yoson's mother, Aerie Fletcher, attended the concert alongside her partner, rapper Moneybag Yo, both cheering as Yoson performed.
01:16One tweet summed it up.
01:17Moneybag Yo was proud watching his stepson perform with his real dad.
01:22That's maturity.
01:23His 2020 legal challenges, including federal fraud charges, forced a re-evaluation of his life and image.
01:30Since then, he's publicly emphasized accountability and rebuilding his reputation, focusing on family and philanthropy.
01:38Hip-hop has always been about legacy, from fathers passing microphones to sons to artists raising the next wave of icons.
01:45By turning a childhood hobby into a paid gig, he's merging entertainment with education.
01:51The post by Raph House TV racked up over 15,000 views in 24 hours, with fans praising Herbo for his parenting approach.
01:59Yoson getting $1,000 for one song at seven.
02:02Legendary, one user wrote.
02:05A handful of commenters debated whether paying a child for performing was too grown, but most agreed it was harmless motivation.
02:12In the end, G. Herbo's $1,000 payout wasn't just a headline.
02:17It was a moment of symbolic mentorship.
02:20Hip-hop has always been about storytelling, and this one told a story of growth.
