Polo G Surprised ‘Barely Holdin On’ Music Video Cast by Gifting Them $10,000 

Polo G is spreading the love.

The rapper gifted each cast member of his emotional “Barely Holdin’ On” music video with $10,000, according to People. “It was an emotional roller coaster for many,” said director Arrad in a press statement. “Nobody was expecting to get the cash at the end. It was a huge surprise and everyone was in complete denial!”

He added, “Polo was very generous and wanted to make sure he could thank each and every person — he expressed his gratitude multiple times and gave them all the cash at the end. It was extremely nice and heartwarming of him.”

The poignant “Barely Holdin’ On” music video, released last month, features an array of real people opening up about struggles ranging from single parenthood and medical troubles to gun violence and addiction. “This life gets scary as it goes on / Burdens while we carry on / I ain’t perfect, spare me if I’m wrong / Hope my secrets get buried when I’m gone,” Polo G muses in the chorus.

The track peaked at No. 23 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart. Watch the full “Barely Holdin’ On” music video below.
