Young Dolph has come through in a major way for two baristas who were fired for playing his music at a Duke University cafe.

We previously reported on the story of the two baristas, Britni Brown and Kevin Simmons, who worked on the campus’ Joe Van Gogh location. Their day took a turn for the worse when Larry Moneta, the vice president for student affairs at Duke, walked into the cafe, heard the catchy tunes of Dolph, and got offended. So offended that he went out of his way to get the two baristas fired from their jobs. The song that was playing at the time of Moneta's visit? Dolph’s "Get Paid."

Following reports of the story, the Chicago-born rapper hopped on social media to express his thoughts on the situation.

And now it looks like Dolph not only flew out the two fired baristas to Rolling Loud in Miami to catch his set but also gifted them a cool $20,000. Dolph brought them on stage, Revoltreports, and said "So check this out, this what we gon do. I know for a fact that the VP at that school get money, but he don't get money like Dolph." He continued, "So until y'all get a new job, I got $20,000 for y'all right now."

Looks like it all worked out in the end.
