YoungBoy Never Broke Again, or NBA YoungBoy, is a teenage rap prodigy, described by Fader
as “Baton Rouge's most promising” and “rawest new rapper.”
Releasing numerous hit songs from behind bars, he's received cosigns from the likes of Young
Thug and 21 Savage, and collaborated with artists like Kevin Gates and Boozie Badazz.
What's going on guys, My name's Michael McCrudden, hitting you with the top 5 Young Boy Never
Broke Again facts you should know.
Since this guy is as well known for his legal troubles as he is for his music, let's kick
off our list in the number 5 spot, talking about his criminal past...
Young Boy Never Broke Again grew up with his father in prison, and first started getting
in trouble himself years before his most recent arrest.
He dropped out of high school in the 9th grade, and it wasn't long before he would be getting
arrested for robbery.
Then, in November of 2016, he got himself into much worse trouble by participating in
a drive by shooting.
Fortunately, he didn't end up killing anybody.
He was later booked on two counts of attempted first degree murder, and locked up in East
Baton Rouge Jail.
So how did pass the time?
Let's talk about that in the number four spot...Time in Jail.
While in jail, he claims to have been writing raps every two days, and released songs like
Win or Lose, Don't Matter, and Too Much.
To avoid future legal troubles with the National Basketball Association, he changed his name
from NBA Young Boy to YoungBoy Never Broke Again.
He also gave an interview to XXL from behind bars, and told them that he was pretty much
staying out of trouble.
“I don't really talk that much,” He said, “I just watch and observe.
I don't really trust nobody.
I'm cool with some of the n*ggas though.
I just be cooling, read.”
The book he was reading at the time was One Heartbeat Away, a book about what happens
after you die by Mark Cahil.
Keeping his nose down in jail seems to have paid off for Young Boy, because coming in
the number three spot, we have His Release.
On May 22, 2017, Young Boy pled guilty to a single reduced charge of aggravated assault
with a fire arm.
He was then released from jail, with bail set at two hundred thousand dollars.
Of course, this didn't mean he was out of trouble yet.
He would still have to show up to court for sentencing.
In August of 2017, he received a 10 year suspended prison term and put on 3 years active supervised
probation.
He was ordered to perform 250 hours of community service, which may include an anti-violence
public service announcement.
We've still yet to see that, but he has found his own way to give back to his community.
Young Boy was also fined 5 thousand dollars.
On top of that, he got a Judge Judy style tongue lashing from the Judge, who lectured
Young Boy about his crimes, his music, violence in the Baton Rouge community, and one more
thing that you may not know about Young Boy...
Coming up in the number two spot, we have FATHERHOOD.
At just 17 years old at the time of this recording, you might be surprised to learn that Young
Boy has a kid.
Well, actually, he's got three children from two separate baby mommas.
At this rate, it won't be long before he gives new meaning to his mixtape, 38 Baby, but it
looks like the emcee wants to make sure that doesn't happen.
After all, he is committed to being Never Broke Again.
So, how's he going to make sure he doesn't have any more mouths to feed?
Well, the kid's got a plan...
He's definitely going to need those, considering how crazy his fans are going for him.
Finally, topping our list in the number one spot, let's address the elephant in the room,
his scars.
Young Boy has several scars marking him all around his head, with three marking his forehead.
You might expect these come from some traumatic events during his criminal past, but story
goes back way further than that.
Back when he was just four years old, Young Boy was at his grandma's house, rough housing
with a boy from down the street.
His grandma was in the back room, and apparently not watching the kids closely enough.
Emulating a wrestling move, his friend dropped him hard on his back, and Young Boy discovered
he wasn't able to move his head.
After they rushed him to the hospital, his family learned that Young Boy had literally
broken his neck.
He was then put into a halo brace, a medical device used to allow spinal injuries to heal
properly, which is secured by drilling the brace into the patient's skull.
