NBA YoungBoy Reportedly Welcomes His 11th Child

by

NBA YoungBoy has had an impressive ascent to superstar status in the rap game. Despite not being a mainstream artist, he remains one of the most influential rappers in youth culture. Moreover, if you were to look at his YouTube numbers, you would realize they are astronomical. He is constantly outperforming some of the biggest artists in the entire world. Overall, this includes people in the pop music space with a huge machine behind them. It is simply a testament to the artist’s talent and consistency.

At the age of 23, NBA YoungBoy and his legacy are pretty well cemented. If he were to stop making music right now, he would likely go down as a legend. It just goes to show that having a strong start to your career can make all the difference. Aside from music, however, YoungBoy has been building a large family. Prior to recently, he had 10 children with eight different baby mothers. According to outlets like No Jumper, YoungBoy has since had his 11th child, this time with a ninth mother.

The baby mother in question is Drew Valentina, who is an Instagram model. Reports about this 11th child circulated months ago, at the end of 2022. The speculation concerning the child was brought up when Valentina took to her IG with the caption, “thank u for choosing me to be your mommy.” As you will see, the vast majority of the comments have to do with NBA YoungBoy. Moreover, in Valentina’s last few posts, she no longer has a baby bump, which suggests that she has, indeed, had the child.

Various facts surrounding the baby are still unknown, such as the name and gender. However, YoungBoy tends to be a private person, so it makes sense that he has yet to reveal these details. Hopefully, the baby is healthy and thriving as YoungBoy continues to add to his family. Be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the music world.

NBA YoungBoy & Mariah The Scientist Are Looking In The “Rear View” On Their First Joint Single: Stream

by

Few artists come with the same sort of consistency as NBA YoungBoy. While he’s been sharing regular releases so far throughout 2023, few of them have seen him collaborating with other artists. He began the year with the 19-track featureless I Rest My Case, which was followed by singles like “Next” and “Demon Party,” also sans accompaniment. Just last week, however, he reunited with Nicki Minaj on “WTF,” which has already amassed upwards of 2.6 million streams on Spotify alone. The two have worked together several times in the past, on titles like “I Admit” and “What That Speed Bout!?”

This New Music Friday (April 14), the Louisana native returned with another joint effort, this one recruiting a rising female R&B star who’s best known for her romance with Young Thug. Mariah the Scientist joins NBA YoungBoy on “Rear View.” It arrived at midnight alongside a beautifully shot visual beginning with the latter reflecting on a toxic relationship with a beautiful sunset unfolding behind him.

For her part, the Atlanta native sings her lyrics while strutting across a football field in a bright purple outfit. “Hussle and fight / But you don’t wanna leave / Take a look in your eyes / I don’t know what I see,” her voice rings out. “You can’t deny / There’s some things you need and / My love is just one of those things.” As RapRadar notes, the new song is set to appear on YB’s forthcoming Don’t Try This At Home album, along with the aforementioned Minaj collab.

You can’t deny
There’s some things you need and
My love is just one of those things

NBA Youngboy On Track For New Milestone

by

NBA Youngboy is about to achieve something pretty huge for an artist his age. The 23-year-old Baton Rouge native is on track to be the youngest rapper to have 100 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His first single, “Untouchable,” charted at number 95 in 2017. Since then, Youngboy has managed to chart 97 more times, either as a lead artist or a feature. The rapper would be in good company. Some of the other rappers to achieve this are Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil Wayne, and Jay-Z.

NBA Youngboy, also known as Kentrell Gaulden, has gained a massive following with his music. With singles like “Outside Today,” “No Smoke,” and “38 Baby,” the rapper has made a name for himself in the rap game, despite facing challenges. Youngboy frequently teams up with other iconic names in the industry. Most recently, he tapped Nicki Minaj to feature on his single “WTF.” The single comes from his upcoming album, Don’t Try This At Home, due out on April 21.

Youngboy Records His Hits At Home

It may not seem that way given how many singles he releases, but NBA Youngboy has been on house arrest since 2021. The rapper is currently living a relatively calm life in Utah, where he has an in-house recording studio. Youngboy was arrested on federal gun charges several years ago and has been in legal trouble ever since. As such, he is doing all he can to earn his freedom. House arrest does stop him from making public appearances, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be pulling out all the stops to promote his new album.

It was reported today that NBA Youngboy is dropping $200k on a release party that he won’t even be able to attend. The rapper also spoke about the meaning of his album title recently. “Entertainment and reality is very different. What I do think, some of the entertainers make their entertainment their reality also,” Youngboy said. “A lot of people who you see today, that’s 100% who they is… But I guarantee you bro, the majority of them… nah.” What do you think of Youngboy’s new milestone? Let us know in the comments.

NBA Youngboy Drops $200K On LA Release Party That He Can’t Attend: Report

by

NBA Youngboy’s new album is nearly here. Besides The Last Slimeto, he hasn’t necessarily plotted out full rollouts for his projects. Instead, he surprises fans with bodies of work and sells thousands of copies in the first week. Part of it is a result of his house arrest conditions. Since he hasn’t necessarily been able to leave his home in Utah, he’s been locked in the studio and delivering some of the best music of his career.

In a few weeks, he’ll unveil his forthcoming project, Don’t Try This At Home. After dropping a handful of records, including “WTF” with Nicki Minaj, it looks like he’s trying to rally his fans and industry friends in Los Angeles for a massive release party. However, he won’t actually be there. According to TMZ, he’s coughed up $200K to rent out Elevate Lounge DTLA on April 20th for the event, even though he can’t attend physically. 50 Cent’s Branson Cognac is reportedly sponsoring the event while DJ Carisma holds it down on the ones-and-twos.

With the album due out on April 21st, we suspect that he’ll provide fans with atleast one more single before dropping the project in its entirety. Prior to the release of “WTF” with Nicki Minaj, he dropped off “Next,” “Demon Party,” and “Members Only.” The upcoming project will include 33 songs in total. Hopefully, we see more collabs on the project besides Nicki Minaj. However, it looks like we’ll only find that out closer to the release date.

The rapper explained that the title of his album is inspired by the state of the rap game right now. As someone who has fought some serious charges, he said that he feels a lot of rappers aren’t actually about the things they rap about. “Entertainment and reality is very different. What I do think, some of the entertainers make their entertainment their reality also,” he said. “A lot of people who you see today, that’s 100% who they is… But I guarantee you bro, the majority of them… nah.” Are you looking forward to NBA Youngboy’s new album?

Nicki Minaj Allegedly Blasts AMP Over NBA Youngboy’s Show In Leaked Audio

by

Nicki Minaj’s Queen Radio is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining shows right now. Though Nicki isn’t on the air on a daily or even weekly basis, she continues to use the platform to speak her mind. As a result, the Amazon AMP show remains a major success as fans await to hear Nicki chime in on topics, whether music related or otherwise. AMP, in fact, gained some significant momentum by tapping Nicki, who previously partnered with Apple to debut her show.

Unfortunately, it seems as though Nicki harbors some resentment toward the company as they haven’t provided her equity. There’s no doubt that she opened the doors for other artists to get their own shows on the platform, which she feels is worthy of giving her a bigger bag. In alleged leaked audio that surfaced, Nicki forgot her microphone was still on when she aired out her frustrations towards the company while mentioning her “WTF” collaborator.

What Did Nicki Minaj Say About NBA Youngboy?

Though Nicki didn’t have any issues with NBA Youngboy’s radio show, she explained that she deserved some equity in AMP for bringing artists on board. “Now they’re getting other artists, like NBA Youngboy, all this stuff because of me. Didn’t give me equity in it, didn’t give me shit,” a voice that sounds like Nicki says. “All I said was, ‘Hey, you guys, now that I see what it is and now that I realized you used me –,” the recording continues until someone screams “Hey” and tells her that the microphone is still on. “Hello? Fuck!” she says.

At this point, Nicki hasn’t issued any statements regarding the alleged snippet but the release comes at an interesting time. This morning, NBA Youngboy and Nicki Minaj released their third collaboration together, “WTF.” The two previous connected on Mike Will Made It’s “What That Speed Bout” before later teaming up on NBA Youngboy’s “I Admit” off of Ma I Got A Family. We’ll keep you posted with any further updates on Nicki Minaj’s Queen Radio. Check out the alleged leaked audio above. Does Nicki deserve equity in AMP? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kevin Gates Says He Influenced NBA Youngboy & Other New Rappers

by

Kevin Gates really doesn’t get his dues. In recent times, his interviews and online antics have overshadowed any of his musical accomplishments but he’s undoubtedly a trailblazer. Throughout the years of the South dominating, Baton Rouge and Louisiana as a whole produced a number of stars. NBA Youngboy, specifically, is one of the most successful rappers right now, though Gates undoubtedly created a path for him to follow.

Unfortunately, the two have a strained relationship. They previously collaborated closely on the 4 Respect EP but things took a turn. Rumor is that NBA Youngboy took issue with Kevin Gates showing love to Fredo Bang’s project, leading the two to part ways from one another. Nonetheless, Kevin Gates continued to show love to NBA Youngboy over the years, even if those feelings aren’t reciprocated. However, in a recent interview, Gates explained why he doesn’t take any issue with YB.

Kevin Gates’s Influence On NBA Youngboy

During a recent interview with I Am Athlete, the Khaza artist explained that he laid down the foundation for a lot of rappers who’ve emerged in recent years. “I really gave ‘em the game. I’m super proud of ‘em, whatever whatever. Sometimes, people could love you so much… that period of existence will be shattered if you don’t disappear,” he said. A co-host asked him if he’s talking about NBA Youngboy to which he replies, “They got people like that” before explaining exactly how he inspired the young generation of artists that came after him.

With a storied career that dates back to the mid-aughts, Gates suggested that his influence became inevitable. “I been in the streets my whole life, so I got a bunch of people, like, y’all watch me do these things in the streets and emulated me and everything that y’all do,” he said, citing his accent and walk. “I love NBA Youngboy. That’s my lil’ baby. I’ll die for him right now. I’m talkin’ about look in the industry. Everything you see.” Check out the interview above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Eminem Was The Most Viewed Rapper On YouTube In March

by

Eminem is still one of the biggest names in music. One of the greatest emcees of all time, he has inspired countless rappers around the world. Moreover the Detroit native continues to remain relevant more than two decades into his career. This relevance can be seen on YouTube. As one of the few active artists whose career predates the platform, Em is still one of the sites most popular figures,

Our Generation Music recently took to Instagram to announce that Eminem was the most viewed rapper on YouTube in March. Marshall pulled in a whopping 423 million views over the course of the month. The “Lose Yourself” rapper had plenty of challengers for the crown. Artists like Drake, Jay-Z and Kodak Black all consistently pull in huge numbers on the platform. But perhaps the stiffest competition for YouTube dominance comes from NBA YoungBoy. The Louisiana superstar passed an incredible 10 billion views on YouTube in 2022. He was also the most viewed artist on the platform for the first three months of last year.

Eminem Shows No Sign of Slowing Down

However, the blistering success of the 23 year-old YoungBoy is less of an anomaly. It speaks to the impact Eminem has made on hip hop that he is still so popular so far into his career. The 50 year-old still holds the distinction of being one of the most streamed artists on earth. Furthermore, Em’s music is now being listened to by an entirely new generation. He released the song “Mockingbird” in 2005 as a touching tribute to his daughter Hailee. Last month the song reached one billion streams on Spotify. This was sparked in large part by the popularity of the song on TikTok.

However, Eminem is no stranger to success on Spotify either. In 2021, he set the record for most albums with 1 billion streams on the platform. Away from streaming, he earned yet another platinum with his most recent project. Music to be Murdered By: Side B was released in late 2020 and sold more than 250,000 copies. Eminem’s popularity is just further proof that audiences are still being captivated by one of the greatest rappers to ever pick up a microphone.
