Lay Bankz recently stopped by The Morning Hustle at the BET Media House, fresh off the announcement that she graces the XXL Freshman cover. She talked about her journey, highlighting her two gold singles and giving major credit to her manager. What seems like an overnight success is actually the result of five years of relentless hard work.

In a candid moment, Lay Bankz shared that she changed her prayers, shifting from asking for strength to asking to be prepared for the battles ahead. This mindset shift, she says, was pivotal. While she didn’t disclose her exact prayer, she emphasized, “Stop asking God for favors. He gave you everything you need to win; you just gotta go get it.”

Although thrilled to be on the XXL cover, Lay Bankz expressed that Anycia and Karrahbooo also deserved to be recognized alongside her.

Now, at twenty, she’s making waves in the industry. Her story is one of perseverance and belief. “He gave you everything you need to win; you just gotta go get it,” she says, reflecting on her journey. With her family and day ones keeping her grounded, Lay Bankz is poised for even greater heights.

Her message is clear: success doesn’t come overnight, but with faith, hard work, and the right mindset, anything is possible. Keep an eye on Lay Bankz as she continues to rise, bringing her unique Philly flair to the world.
