This isn’t a Childish Gambino origin story. Earn will NEVER become a rapper and all the “connects” he has are borderline bullshyt.
Earn has really only ever been shown to make legitimate business connections TWICE in the entire series.
Once in season 1 when they went to the charity basketball game and the white lady finessed him into the upstairs party. He was taking cards from people who worked with commercials and marketing.
Once in season 2 when he got Paperboi on that streaming service.
Earn is a nikka who let someone like Traci finesse him out of FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS
Earn is a nikka who instead of saving his money and getting an apartment wants to spend a night out “stunting” on people.
Earn is a nikka who, instead of booking a hotel, would rather have his marquee client spending the night in a crazy college girl’s apartment.
Looking at all of this, would YOU want that type of nikka as a manager
That ass whooping he got was a wake up call. “nikka you aren’t special. You gotta WORK just like everybody else.” Earn ain’t been putting in no real work.
His “business” decisions are all shyt as well. This dude made a 5k deal with a club promoter and didn’t secure any contract? Didn’t get half up front? Had to spend the entire night chasing the owner is only to get $750 and have Alfred put himself in a situation where he had to literally BEAT the money out of the guy.
