He and his cohorts essentially created‍ a cultural moment with the “hot boy” and “hot girl” ‍movement, a legacy he acknowledges with pride.

“The whole hot boy thing, we started that years ago,” Juvenile stated, adding a respectful nod to contemporary artists like megan Thee Stallion, while emphasizing ⁣the importance of recognizing the originators of⁤ the trend.
