The lavish lifestyle seemed effortless, and the message was clear: money talks, and Phori’s definitely not shy to let it speak.

While some fans admired the bold move, posting comments like, “Money is good you guys!” others didn’t hold back, pointing out that this kind of display could be problematic.
