Cash App has launched the latest phase of its financial literacy brand campaign “That’s Money” in collaboration with project3, pgLang’s in-house creative agency. The new video, titled “The Barbershop,” stars rapper and singer Doechii alongside comedian ExavierTV and is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Calmatic.

“The Barbershop” emphasizes the importance of strategic self-investment and the sharing of financial lessons learned along the way. “I’m at a place now where I’m starting to make a budget and set financial goals for my future,” said Doechii. “I think it’s so important to be honest with each other when we talk about money, which is why I’m excited to be part of this campaign and share what’s been working for me.”

Calmatic expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “What I loved most about this project was the opportunity to essentially describe to the audience what ‘interest’ is in one of the most raw and straightforward ways I’ve ever seen in financial advertising. I wish I could’ve seen something like this when I was growing up. Thank you, project3 and Cash App, for trusting me.”

Launched in 2022, “That’s Money” aims to promote financial education and empowerment while highlighting how Cash App can streamline money management. A previous spot from the campaign, “The Balcony,” featured 17-time Grammy Award winner Kendrick Lamar and entrepreneur Ray Dalio, and won two Bronze Lions at the 2023 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. ExavierTV, who appeared in “The Balcony,” continues the narrative in “The Barbershop,” sharing the financial wisdom he gained from opening his own barbershop.

“Project3, the agency developed by pgLang, collaborated with Cash App to continue the storytelling that began in 2022 with ‘The Balcony,’” stated pgLang. “Appreciation to Calmatic for reapproaching this story with young entrepreneurs growing their businesses in an authentic tone.”

Catherine Ferdon, Cash App’s Chief Marketing Officer, added, “We wanted to show how financial wisdom can spread within communities through real, everyday conversations. With ‘That’s Money,’ we’re continuing to combine culture with financial literacy in a way that’s unique to our brand and makes people think about money differently.”

“The Barbershop” will be available across various formats, including digital video, Out of Home, and cinema, as well as on Cash App’s social channels. Another installment of “That’s Money” is slated to launch later this year.

Doechii Drops Some Knowledge In ‘The Barbershop,’ A New Short Film With PgLang And Cash App

by

Financial literacy has become a hot topic in the past few years; thanks to pandemics and recessions, it’s become more important than ever for average folks to learn to manage their money. Hip-hop, which has traditionally been all about flexing, has begun to play a bigger part in helping to educate the public, with Jay-Z and Megan Thee Stallion hosting classes and several artists releasing music related to the subject.

Kendrick Lamar’s PgLang has joined in, teaming up with Cash App to release a short film giving financial advice direct from TDE artist Doechii. The short, “The Barbershop,” sees comedian ExavierTV seeking advice from his barber and getting it instead from Doechii, who’s also in the shop getting her hair braided. Cash App’s ongoing “That’s Money” project aims to help teach hip-hop fans about money management skills. The short is directed by Calmatic, and continues threads from a prior film from “That’s Money” and PgLang’s Project3 initiative, “The Balcony,” which saw Kendrick himself offering up similar snippets.

“I’m at a place now where I’m starting to make a budget and set financial goals for my future,” Doechii said in the press release. “I think it’s so important to be honest with each other when we talk about money, which is why I’m excited to be part of this campaign and share what’s been working for me.”

Last week, many in the tech community were stunned to find out that Cash App creator Bob Lee had been killed in a stabbing attack. It was subsequently reported that Lee had been stabbed in the early morning while out in San Francisco. Overall, this felt like a very random crime that had some up in arms about the crime rates in urban areas. Even Elon Musk got in on this as he tried to make the stabbing a political issue. However, it appears as though this was not just some random crime committed by a person on the street.

According to TMZ, someone has been arrested for allegedly committing the murder. The person in question is Nima Momeni who is reportedly also a tech executive. Momeni is reportedly the founder of a tech startup called ExpandIT. However, there is still no telling what a possible motive could have been here. What we do know is that Momeni has been arrested. Additionally, it is being claimed that Momeni and Bob Lee were in a car together the morning of the alleged murder.

As the story goes, Lee got out of the vehicle following an altercation. However, things eventually spilled out onto the street. Police say that a knife was left in the location of the stabbing and that is has since been retrieved. Furthermore, the car that Bob Lee was riding in belongs to the suspect.

Cash App Founder’s 911 Call & Video Footage Of Him Seeking Help After Stabbing Surface

by

New footage and audio surfaced from the murder of Cash App founder Bob Lee. He passed away after being stabbed in San Francisco. Moreover, the 911 call that leaked online following his tragic passing detailed the moments right before he collapsed. “There’s a male screaming ‘help,’ saying ‘someone stabbed me,’” a dispatcher narrates in the clip. “Advised he is bleeding out. He’s outside on the street.” Moreover, video footage obtained by Daily Mail shows Lee approaching a vehicle, presumably asking for help. After the car sped off, he went to the Portside apartment building at 403 Main St.

CCTV footage showed the 43-year-old holding his phone in one hand and trying to dial the building intercom with his other. Furthermore, said attack occurred around 2:35 a.m. in the city’s Rincon Hill neighborhood according to local officials. No suspects were announced by police, so no arrests have been made, either. “[He] did comment on San Francisco deteriorating, which is why he actually had relocated to Miami,” friend Jake Shields revealed to NewsNation during an interview. “So I’m not sure why he’s going back there to get a little business back in San Francisco for a couple of days.”

New Details Emerge Surrounding Stabbing Of Cash App Founder Bob Lee

“We are not commenting on evidence nor will we speculate on the circumstances surrounding this horrific crime,” San Francisco Police spokesman Sgt. Adam Lobsinger stated via video on Thursday (April 6). “Although we will commit the necessary resources and personnel to this investigation, we want to assure everyone in San Francisco the Department is staffed and ready to respond to all calls for service.”

However, this crime caused invoked much criticism of the city’s perceived soft-on-crime policies. “This is a senseless tragedy that I know is made worse by the fact that no suspect is yet in custody,” San Francisco Supervisor Matt Dorsey tweeted. He represents the district in which the perpetrators attacked Lee. “I’ve also heard from many constituents in the area. Some of whom already voiced concerns to me about public safety challenges. I’m asking everyone to cooperate with police in their investigation, especially those with access to surveillance video that may help.” Come back to HNHH for more big updates on this story.

In a tweet about the incident, Elon Musk expressed his condolences for the murder of Lee. In a reply to Jack Dorsey, Musk said, “Very sorry to hear that. Many people I know have been severely assaulted.” However, Musk also took the opportunity to publicly call out San Francisco District Attorney, Brooke Jenkins. “Violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately,” Musk said. “Is the city taking stronger action to incarcerate repeat violent offenders @BrookeJenkinsSF?”

Earlier this year Megan Thee Stallion embarked on a brand partnership with Cash App with the purpose of teaching investing and financial literacy for fans. In addition to giving away $1 million in Cash App stock, Meg also starred in a series of educational videos teaching fans about such subjects as NFTs and cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. However, it seems she wasn’t content with just making those moves — or with just having one co-branded merch line with Popeyes — as she has released a new clothing collection in collaboration with Cash App, with the proceeds going to charity.

The Hot Girl Enterprise collection is available on shop.cash.app and includes a t-shirt, shorts, and a bucket hat, all in warm weather-friendly colors that’ll come in handy when Hot Girl Summer rolls back around. Here’s a photo of Meg wearing the shirt and shorts:

In a press release, the Houston rapper said she was “really proud of this collection,” because “not only did we create a fierce and stylish look for my Hotties, but we’re also giving back to communities in need in a meaningful way.” All proceeds will be donated to Houston charities focusing on education, health, and housing. You can check out the collection here.

In addition to being a Grammy-winning rapper, Megan The Stallion is also trying her hand as a financial advisor of sorts. Back in June, she gave away $1 million to teach “Investing For Hotties” through a partnership with Cash App. In an accompanying video, she went over concepts that included fractional shares and diversification while reminding viewers that “buying stocks isn’t only for the big players.” Now, for the next installment in her series with Cash App, Megan has shifted her attention to Bitcoin thanks to a brand new video that aims to teach people about the digital currency.

“Bitcoin is a new kind of money,” the Houston rapper begins as a shirtless man pours her tea. “While the cash in your wallet is issued and regulated by governments, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. Like a wild stallion, it can’t be controlled by anyone.” She goes on to explain why Bitcoin is so valuable, why its price changes, and how to purchase Bitcoin during the two-minute video.

The video comes after she became the first rapper to cover the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She also earned her first platinum plaque, for her 2020 debut Good News.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
