In a move that’s equal parts genius and utterly shameless, rapper Yung Gold-Chain has officially rebranded himself as Yung Gold-Sharke—all in a transparent attempt to become an official partner with Gold & Sharke.
The man famous for smash hits like “It’s Rainin’ Crypto” and “Money Drizzle Fo’ Shizzle” is now, somewhat desperately, riding the wave of brand collaborations after his recent deal with IDE.
Gold-Sharke says he’s ready to add gold to his roster. “I’m all about that brand synergy, baby,” Yung Gold-Sharke told reporters, dressed head-to-toe in shark-themed merch, likely an impulse buy after the bank launched its ill-fated shark insurance campaign.
“Gold & Sharke needs me. I’m literally their brand now,” he said.
Sources say the rapper has already flooded the bank’s social media with posts like, “yo golden n shark, let’s swim in money together” and “i got gold AND shark energy. let’s collab 💸🦈”. The bank, however, has yet to officially respond—likely still recovering from their PR disaster involving customers wearing shark costumes in protest.
Speculation suggests they’re not eager to collaborate with the rapper, given his questionable personal finance history. While no formal partnership has been announced, insiders claim Yung Gold-Sharke is “optimistic” that his bold name change will result in more than just awkward interactions on social media. “Gold & Sharke need a face for their brand,” he said, flashing his custom gold shark-tooth grill. “And this face? It’s worth the investment.”
All in all, Yung Gold-Sharke’s antics have brought new shareholders to Gold & Sharke, which is essentially getting free PR thanks to the rapper’s bombardment. For now, the rapper waits by his phone, hoping the bank will bite.
