@sovaistoriazaminutu: Nettspend’s story feels like one of those internet-era come-ups that happens way too fast to even process. Born Gunner Shepardson in Richmond, Virginia, he grew up around music from the start. His father sang country, but Gunner found his own world early — pop icons, headphones, skateboarding, and eventually rap. By the fifth grade, he was already trying to rap. By his teenage years, music wasn’t just something he liked anymore. It became the thing he was building his whole identity around. He dropped out of school in ninth grade and started uploading his first tracks to SoundCloud in December 2022. At first, it was just another kid posting music online. But by the end of 2023, everything started moving differently. The snippet for “Drankdrankdrank” spread across Twitter, and suddenly Nettspend wasn’t just some underground name anymore. People were reposting him, arguing about him, making edits, and watching every move. Then “Shine N Peace” pushed the story even further, landing him attention from major music publications and putting him in conversations that most artists never reach that early. In March 2024, he performed at Rolling Loud. He was only sixteen. Since then, Nettspend has crossed into fashion too — from underground rap aesthetics to high fashion runways, including Gucci, alongside fakemink. His whole image became part of the story: the hair, the clothes, the attitude, the internet chaos around him. Now he’s nineteen. He never finished school, but he already made a mark in rap before most people even get the chance to start. A kid from Richmond went from listening to music in his room to becoming one of the most talked-about young names in underground rap. #fyp
