NBA Youngboy is one of the hottest rappers in the game.
Even though he’s locked down on house arrest in Utah, he’s still making headlines.
He’s always been a controversial artist with a lot of enemies in the streets
and in the music industry,
but now he’s sending shots at everyone.
Here’s what happened…
Youngboy has had a lot of smoke ever since he came into the industry.
Most fans know about his beef with Fredo Bang and the rest of TBG.
But he’s also sent shots at Kodak Black, Kevin Gates, and Moneybagg Yo.
This time is different though because now he’s got half the industry against him.
After he was released on house arrest back in October,
he stayed busy and dropped two mixtapes even though he couldn’t leave the crib.
But he wasn’t gonna just sit around and make music for the fans.
He was hundreds of miles away from any opps, but that ain’t stop him from sending shots.
Back in January, he dropped the track Bring the Hook
and let everyone know that he wasn’t going to sit quietly and wait for his trial.
On the song he says
“N***a this that Squid Game, O-Block pack get rolled up
Murder what they told us, Atlanta boy get fold up
N***a get your **** up, these ****** throwin’ up green flags
Throwin’ that NBA up, for me, set you up to bust your ass.”
In this bar, he’s sending shots at King Von and members of O’Block.
Von was killed during a fight with Youngboy’s artist Quando Rondo only 2 years ago,
and Youngboy called O’Block out by name to disrespect their dead homie.
Lil Durk responded immediately.
He posted a photo of himself with a portrait of Von and said
“Don’t claim it if you ain’t do it you still a *****.”
Then a bunch of dudes from O’Block posted a video
of them stomping Youngboy’s 4KT flags and setting them on fire.
Then, Durk turned it up a notch when he dropped the track Ahhh Ha.
He calls out Youngboy for claiming hits he ain’t do
and implies he’s been working with the feds:
“Don’t respond to **** with Von I’m like ‘**** it, you tripping,
go get your gun’
They dropping locations, I’m getting it done.
**** tweeting, we sliding, the feds will come
They really don’t mean it, he say it in songs
N***s acting like they really like that since my brodie died.
Just got out the feds, you bring up murders with your police ass.”
He also dissed Youngboy’s baby mama Jania with the line
“I told Von to leave that ***** alone, she post on OnlyFans.”
Jania and Youngboy used to date and make music together,
but after they broke up she was spotted in the studio with Von.
There were rumors that there was something going on between them at the time,
but Von said it was just music.
But now Durk seems to be saying there was more to the story.
After a savage diss like this, everyone expected Youngboy to respond.
But no one saw what was coming next.
Youngboy ain’t just make another track aimed at Durk,
he decided to take on the whole industry at once with the song I Hate Youngboy.
He starts off by dissing Durk with the line
“How you talkin’ **** when nothin’ ain’t died about your cousin nem?”
Which is a shot at Durk for not doing anything
after his cousin OTF Nunu was shot back in 2014.
Then he takes more shots at Von and O’Block with:
“Quando got no filter, and he say that, they ain’t gon’ **** wit him
Clean up on Aisle O, youngin let that chop blow.”
Youngboy responds to Durk calling him a ***** and disses his girlfriend
India Royale with the line
“He called me a *****, that’s India, that be your **
Posted with that stick like Indians, they want my soul.”
Next up, Youngboy switches up and goes after Gucci when he says
“Used to **** with Gucci ‘til I seen he like them ***** ******.”
Youngboy and Gucci used to be cool and collab’d on a couple of tracks together,
but now he’s mad that Wop sided with Durk.
Before he responded with his own track,
Gucci posted a photo of himself on Instagram with the caption
“I feel like I’m Gucci Mane in 2006”
which is a lyric from Youngboy’s song Make No Sense.
Then a couple of hours later, Gucci dropped the track Publicity Stunt.
He don’t name Youngboy on the song, but it’s pretty obvious who he’s talking about
when he raps
“He’s tryna pull a publicity stunt
These rappers be *****, they bleed once a month
Don’t speak on my name, don’t get put in a blunt
You can diss all you want, you still won’t get a response.”
So Gucci is letting Youngboy know what’s up
without giving him any clout with an actual name drop.
Later in the track he makes the diss even more obvious with the bar
“Stop beating ‘round the bush and just get to the point
You wanna be me, I know what you want
But you ain’t gotta pull no publicity stunt
Live by the gun then you die by the gun
Ain’t gotta care ‘bout **** that I done
My n***a got bond and he went on the run.”
Then Gucci addresses how him and Youngboy was cool,
and now Youngboy is dissing him out of nowhere
“Why you diss me for publicity n***a?
Is you in the streets or a industry n***a?
Is you my fan or my enemy, n***a?”
And at the end of the track,
Gucci makes sure everyone knows who he’s talking about with the line
“I thought you felt like Gucci Mane in 2006…
well damn.”
Publicity Stunt just dropped a couple of days ago and Youngboy ain;t said anything in response.
But Gucci’s track just knocked I Hate Youngboy out of the #1 spot in YouTube’s music section,
so it’s probably only a matter of time before Youngboy sends more shots.
The next dude Youngboy aimed at was Lil Baby.
He rapped “Baby with ‘em, 4PF, four poles firin’.”
Baby is another rapper that Youngboy used to work with.
But Baby is cool with Durk so now he’s on Youngboy’s hit list.
Rumors surfaced last year that Youngboy turned down a collab with Baby.
No one knew the reason at the time.
But it could have something to do with Durk and Baby dropping a project together in 2021.
But, Gucci wasn’t the only rap legend that Youngboy dissed on I Hate Youngboy.
He also went after Baton Rouge legend Lil Boosie, rapping:
“Feel like Boosie don’t even like me, *****, don’t call my phone.”
This was the most surprising shot on the track for most fans.
Boosie has always shown love to Youngboy,
and the two of them dropped a project together called Southern Smoke in 2019.
Boosie responded with the track, I Don’t Call Phones I Call Shots,
where he rapped
“First and last time speaking on this
If you felt that way, why you ain’t call me on my phone number?
***** you know you wrong, clearin’ all these n***s songs
Don’t go clear a n***s song, but fake it like you a n***a dog
That’s that fake ****
Don’t speak on me no more lil n***a, you know I don’t go for that
Let’s keep it real dog, you was a ** for that.”
Fans kept asking Boosie about the beef while he was on Instagram Live.
Everyone knows Boosie ain’t gonna back down to anyone,
but he made it clear that the Youngboy situation ain’t that serious.
He told his fans
“He said what he said, I said what I said. I don’t want to pop his top.
Real ****, I don’t want to pop his top. He said what he said, I said what I said.
I ain’t speaking no more on it. He pissed me off though.
N***a hurt my feelings. Thought that was my lil dog, **** it.”
He pissed me off,
***** hurting my feelings. ***** pissed me off
***** thought that was my lil dog
**** it
So it seems like Boosie is just hurt that his homie dissed him,
but he don’t want to escalate the situation.
But if fans thought dissing Boosie was crazy, they wasn’t ready for this next line.
Instead of going after another rapper,
Youngboy took it a step further and dissed one of the biggest corporations in the world
“Tell Apple I said, ‘**** ‘em’ they promote his song.”
Apple Music promoted Durk’s diss track Ahh Ha,
so Youngboy decided the whole company is his enemy now.
Next up he went after YouTubers who make a living off of other people’s music
“YouTube streamers, they be **** ridin’, don’t react no more.
You **** with them, don’t **** with me and that’s just how that go.”
The last person Youngboy calls out is Chinese Kitty from Love & Hip Hop: Miami
“Chinese Kitty don’t wanna be my girl, she like them folks.”
This is another diss that no one saw coming,
but Youngboy ain’t hold anything back on this track.
Youngboy has had plenty of beef in the past,
but no one is sure what made him go so hard on I Hate Youngboy.
Some think it’s all a big publicity stunt.
He dropped a project called Better Than You with DaBaby,
so he might have called everyone out at once to make sure all eyes were on him.
Another theory is that Youngboy is trying to get his money right
in case he’s not able to beat the charges he’s facing.
He was arrested in September 2020
when the police were called to an abandoned crib
where he was filming a music video in Baton Rouge.
Neighbors called the cops and told them a large group of men
were standing outside the house holding guns.
Youngboy was arrested along with 15 other men
on charges that included drug distribution and possession of stolen weapons.
Then in 2021, the feds announced that the entire NBA crew was under investigation.
The case is allegedly called Operation Never Free Again,
which made it clear that they want Youngboy and his crew off the streets.
On March 23rd, 2021,
Youngboy was arrested after he tried to run from the LAPD.
He was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
and possession of an unregistered firearm.
After spending several months in jail,
his lawyers convinced the judge to release him on house arrest in Utah
so he could work on his career until his trial.
He promised the judge to stay on his best behavior while awaiting trial.
But it wasn’t long before there were more issues in his camp.
On January 25th, his house in Texas was raided by a SWAT team
and three NBA affiliates got arrested for a shooting that went down back in November.
According to police, there was a fight on November 10th around 12:00 PM.
During the altercation, someone pulled a gun and started letting off shots.
Then two suspects ran off and were chased by the cops.
A man at the scene was shot in the head and body and almost died.
Luckily he survived after he was rushed to the hospital,
but now the police believe the NBA affiliates was connected.
The SWAT team found a bunch of guns in the house they raided,
but it’s not clear if they were used in the shooting.
There’s not much info available about the case or who the victim was,
but Youngboy definitely don’t need any more legal issues on top of what he’s already facing.
Only a couple of the people Youngboy dissed have responded,
but chances are this is only the beginning.
Hopefully, it’s just rap beef and don’t get more serious than diss tracks,
but when you call out dudes who are certified like Boosie, Gucci, and Durk,
anything can happen.
Youngboy’s beef with Durk definitely goes deeper than rap,
but everyone would be better off if they just focused on the music
and left everything else alone.
The rap game has been losing promising young artists like crazy lately,
and it would unfortunate to see another one of these dudes lose their life.
This situation is still developing
and bound to take some crazy turns, so stay posted for updates.
