During his convo with hosts Tank and J. Valentine, the 34-year-old artist discussed his long-range business strategy, which he began developing at the age of 17 after achieving initial success. It started with him investing in Burger King franchises and then focusing on the business of music.

Now Brown is the master of his own destiny.

“So I’m more like, you know, I’m able to now now see real money or see something from what I’ve created ’cause I know I created it so now, you know, I can go and do this now. I can create some more,” Breezy explained at the 58-minute mark in the video below.
