Pretty sure it’s a joke about people giving him money for his bday which is pretty common among friends/family.
It was just my homies bday the other day and I gave him 40 bucks
what?
where i live money is not an acceptable birthday gift. you deserve it though work or because someone thinks you earned it and wants you to have it. if you gift out money on birthdays people would think you are cheap and buy yourself through relationships. over here it's a better look to gift nothing than just money. of course everyone would take the money, but more like "that wasn't necessary, but thanks anyway, you dumb asshole."
What kind of shithole do you live in where receiving free money is looked down upon?
In nicer areas, money is seen as lazy, because everyone has it, and its low effort compared to like getting a physical gift ig. doesnt really make sense to me but Id assume thats what goin on there
In nicer areas people commonly give money. Especially for events like Weddings or Bar Mitzvahs where the cost to throw them is often significant.
I was often given money growing up for birthday and Christmas, and I grew up in an affluent area of my city and went to private schools, it wasn't uncommon among my friends either. So, I don't know where this idea comes from. Sometimes people's grandparents have no idea what to get them or where to get it (predating everyone using Amazon). Plus, sometimes people know people want something, but it isn't realistic or reasonable for them to give them that item, so they give money to contribute to it. For example, people want to go on a vacation or travel. Very few people's grandparents or aunts are going to pay that entire trip, but they may feel like they want to contribute. My cousin wanted to get a Les Paul, so people gave him money towards that (he also washed dishes for a significant portion of the money to buy it). Maybe they could give you a gift card for a restaurant in that city or for the airline.
Either way, Kader asking for money from his Instagram followers is pretty kookish when he's pro on a respectable board brand, and on Vans and Supreme.
To be honest, this year, its probably for the best for people to give gift cards or money, would love for people to support local businesses (and you can probably get online gift cards for some of those places), but not at the expense of their health, especially when you are talking about relatives in their 70's.
