The lead section of this article does a reasonable job at giving a brief overview of the topic. It introduces the reader to what the page will cover, but does not give concise descriptions. The paragraph provides a general idea of the life of Demario DeWayne White Jr., who is often referred to as his stage name, Moneybagg Yo. His top and recents hits are listed, which serves as a good overview of him. However, this section could be improved with more updated stats or more of his up to date collaborations in general.
