Lil Bibby was a selection for the 2014 XXL Freshman cover. It took two years, but Bibby can finally welcome NLMB brother G Herbo to the club.
Bibby took to IG to congratulate Herb.
He wrote, “Lil bruh G Swervo 2016 #XXL Freshman Class.”
Bibby was upset with Herb’s exclusive from the 2015 cover.
“I think they had a nice class,” Lil Bibby told DJ Smallz Eyes. “They got a couple artists I really mess with- Dej, Fetty Wap, Shy Glizzy, Tink…. But they should’ve put my boy on there, man. They should’ve put Herb on there man. I really think he deserved a spot.”
In the 2016 XXL Freshman cover, Herb was photoed alongside Anderson .Paak, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Dicky, Dave East, Denzel Curry, Desiigner and Lil Yachty.
Herbo was very confident when he was invited to make a pitch for this year’s spot.
“I feel like I deserve the Freshman cover because I shouldn’t even have to explain why I deserve the Freshman cover,” he said. “I feel like it’s all there. The fanbase there. The bars there. I tried to stay as humble as possible. I don’t try to do no talking. It’s already been proven that I’m the best at what I do. It’s gonna get better. It’s gonna only get better. Like right now, I’m at a point where I want to get better, and it’s like scary, crazy. And my fans, of course, know I deserve the cover.”
