Moneybagg Yo is trending for a moment no one saw coming. During his recent concert in Japan, the Memphis rapper was unexpectedly kissed on the cheek by a male fan mid-performance — and his calm reaction has fans online buzzing.
The now-viral clip, shared widely on October 9, shows Moneybagg performing his 2023 hit “Doin 2 Much” while working the front row and greeting fans. As he leaned in toward a concertgoer’s phone camera, the fan suddenly planted a quick kiss on his cheek. Without missing a beat, Moneybagg kept performing and continued shaking hands with the crowd.
Social media instantly lit up, with users divided over the rapper’s reaction — or lack of one. One commenter, @Elit1of1, joked under Livebitez’ repost,
“This n**a was the funniest sht ever tho. Dude get a pass.”
Another user, @Dominquechinn, wrote,
“It was so sneaky and quick he didn’t have time to react,”
implying that the moment caught Moneybagg off guard but wasn’t done maliciously.
Of course, the internet couldn’t resist comparing the scene to other rappers.
@Ya.motherrr commented,
“If that was a black person, he would’ve turned into DaBaby so fast!! Iykyk,”
while @Bandsy added,
“DaBaby would have started to swing.”
Still, many applauded Moneybagg Yo for handling the situation maturely. @Dulcetrinitygoldwire wrote,
“At least he didn’t take it the wrong way. I believe it’s out of love.”
And @R0ckstarflies chimed in,
“I’m sure that’s not his first time getting kissed on the cheeks by a man. Y’all grow up.”
The clip has since spread across hip-hop social media, racking up thousands of shares and sparking conversations about celebrity boundaries and fan behavior — especially when performing overseas.
As of now, Moneybagg Yo hasn’t commented publicly on the viral moment. But if his composure on stage is any indication, he’s not letting it rattle him.
