According to his website chiefbeast.com, cb45 stands for continue believing. As he says on the site, "I founded the brand, cb45, which stands for continue believing, based on ethics that I strive to live my life by on a daily basis. My passion is to help others realize the importance of believing in yourself and in God. Through competition and life, there will always be hardships, but you must keep your faith in god and in yourself. Remaining hungry and humble will allow you to continue to push yourself through the hardships and your humility will be what gets you there. With this, you can get through anything life throws at you."
