G Herbo, a rapper from Chicago, shared his surprising incident with additional parking fees at one nightclub in Atlanta. The incident, which he recounted on social media has sparked a lively conversation about the often outrageous costs associated with nightlife in major cities.
G Herbo, whose real name is Herbert Randall Wright III, was reportedly charged a whopping $300 to park after a night out at the club. Several could not understand the accusation against the rapper. “Can’t believe they tried to charge me that much just to park! “, he exclaimed in a viral video.
The reactions of fans and followers came over streaming in shares of horror parking stories and questions as to why a club would want such a steep fee.
Parking fees can be across the board depending on any given city and venue. Say, for example, in New York City, one wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to pay anywhere from $20 to $50 or more for a couple of hours, while in Los Angeles that fee usually ranges from $10 to $30. In the city of Atlanta, where G Herbo faced this interesting charge, the fee usually ranges between $5 to $20.
It most definitely picked up eyebrows among other rappers and made many wonder whether it was a case of price gouging or just miscommunication.
People have reacted to it with disbelief and humor. Memes and jokes about the situation filled Twitter and Instagram, as if the $300 to park was some sort of joke. Some rose to the nightclub’s defense, saying high-profile guests are often charged much higher because of demand and exclusiveness. Irrespective of the opinions, one thing is definite: G Herbo‘s story went viral and struck a chord with many, speaking candidly to a deeper debate with regard to nightlife costs.
Beyond the parking fiasco, G Herbo has some personal and professional turmoil he’s dealing with. The artist built a reputation in the hip-hop world thanks to raw, vivid storytelling since his first mixtape Welcome to Fazoland dropped in 2014. His music relates most often to struggles experienced while growing up in Chicago: making it through and growth will be among his main focuses.
But despite serious legal issues-a federal fraud case, a $40-million dispute with his former manager-G Herbo remains focused on his music. He has spoken candidly about his mental health, using his art as therapy. “I want to move past these legal issues and concentrate on my career,” he said one recent afternoon, making sure to give notice that he will definitely be delivering with lyrical content for his fanbase.
G Herbo has shown just how he can connect with his audience through his music. His lyrics are normally filled with his heart, largely because he usually reflects on his life and the challenges he has gone through in his life. This personal aspect is what attracts his fans, who relish his honesty besides how he approaches strong subjects.
Continuing with the ups and downs in terms of fame, G Herbo’s story just goes out to show that even celebrities have ordinary problems, such as outrageous parking fees. Through his music, and even through the use of social network sites, he has remained able to be a voice for many-sharing his wins and also the setbacks along his journey.
