Dinero: I found different endeavors, you know what Im saying? I got myself dug into real estate and I furthered my investments and stocks. HipHopDX: What made you want to get into real estate of all things? Dinero: Shit, man. Just being smart with your money, you know what Im saying? Hearing all these things that are happening in the world, its like damn you see how quarantine hit? We didnt see that coming, you know what Im saying? So imagine how many artists out there, how many people out there thats just fucked up financially. If you got the opportunity to do something with your bread, do that shit. And thats just how I felt. It was more so finding a different endeavor and just getting my bread stacked as I go. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FlippDiNero??
