Thread 🧵
In the past, Oliver was struggling with mental health & coping with alcohol. In depths of despair, just about a month ago, Oliver got to his knees & broke down in tears.
Though he's wasn't a religious man, that night he promised God to get sober if he helped him follow his dream

Oliver was about 30 days sober when someone reached out & asked him to come record a song for his YouTube channel.
That song was "Rich Men North of Richmond."
Within days, the song was going VIRAL on social media.

As Oliver told me this story, the hair on the back of my neck stood up. Goosebumps covered my body.
Here is a man who broke down & surrendered everything to God & within 30 days, he became an overnight sensation with an offer from @johnrich to produce his record.

When I offered to cover the cost for Oliver to produce a record, I had NO idea what would transpire, nor did I know just how powerful his story was or the situation that God was inserting me into.
I just wanted to help. This is how we're going to change culture. And the coutnry.

CONCLUSION: I am excited to announce, Oliver Anthony has just joined Twitter. His OFFICIAL account, which will soon be verified is @AintGotaDollar.
You're going to want to give him a follow.
He's a songwriter, a father, and a genuinely good human being. I'm blessed to know him.
