NBA YoungBoy Dresses As Santa Claus To Take Kids Sledding

December 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy is spreading the holiday cheer, and also recognizing that he has the leadership and admiration to do something nice for the kids. Moreover, the rapper dressed up as Santa Claus and took people sledding through the Utah mountains, complete with Huskies and multiple carriages. It was a pretty wholesome affair for the rapper, who’s usually in the news for more conflict-driven headlines with other rappers. Nevertheless, even he isn’t immune to Christmas cheer, and he even previewed a new song with some holiday melodies and references. Sure, YB still included some typical rap subject matter in there, so he can’t quite let go of his craft.

Furthermore, it’s heartening to see YoungBoy have some pure, unbothered fun with the youth. Rarely can he engage in his personal life without facing some form of scrutiny, whether for his views or for the context around his house arrest. The 24-year-old remained quite vocal about his frustrations and struggles with this circumstance, something that he probably won’t let go of. Hopefully that clears up for him in the near future, especially leniency amid the holiday season to spend time with his loved ones.

In other news, YoungBoy actually did his part last week to spread the joyful spirit in the name of beef-squashing. In regards to his feud with Joe Budden, he then went on to claim that he “loves” the rapper and media personality, and that their bickering was solely “entertainment.” Of course, it’s very possible that the I Rest My Case hitmaker is simply playing around and trying to be petty, but it’s the holidays; how could we be so pessimistic? Budden hasn’t said much since on the matter, so it’s still a bit of an open-ended resolution.

Meanwhile, there’s still a lot of new music to come from the Never Broke Again boss, which is basically a law of physics at this point. After all, who’s expecting him to slow down his prolific output? We’ll see what other cheer these holidays bring in the rap world.

NBA YoungBoy Warns People To Quit Trying To “Hurt” Him: Watch

December 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy likely sees himself as a lone wolf in the hip-hop industry and the music world at large. That’s not only due to his personality, legal troubles, and life experiences leading up to– and continuing throughout– his career, but also because of the wave of hate he often gets. Sometimes, that’s from established media personalities like Joe Budden, who recently trashed YB’s output and skill level as a whole. But his most recent rant on his Instagram Story doesn’t seem aimed at him at all, but rather a more vague and general set of opps. If you’re a fan, you know how common these threats can be.

“People trying to hurt me,” YoungBoy’s IG Story began with a lot of aggressive energy. “N***as and b***hes, bruh. If you ain’t my wife, you do not dictate my moves. She the only one that could tell me, ‘Bust your a** or let you slide!’ Man, aye, and she the only one that can put me in jail for life. She the only person that I tell everything I do to.” While his praise for his wife seems somewhat wholesome, other statements from him paint a darker picture.

Regardless, given the Baton Rouge MC’s deteriorating mental health under house arrest, these attacks are never nice or gratifying to see. Hopefully he can get himself back on track and in a positive space for a more consistent period of time, because he says his hardships are getting to him. Even though NBA YoungBoy’s career remains prolific and satisfying in the eyes of his fans, this is something that they need to prioritize. As he works on his personal struggles and animosities, this also reveals the best and worst parts of isolation that he must balance.

Meanwhile, Joe Budden responded to all the ruckus that his dislike of the 24-year-old caused with little course correction. Of course, his own response to Budden was even more merciless, so we can’t imagine these two will come to amicable terms anytime soon. But if they leave each other alone, then the I Rest My Case artist can find more peace and focus on improving what he wants to work on.

Joe Budden Trashes NBA YoungBoy: Watch

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Another day, another hot take about the rap world from Joe Budden, who will probably receive an avalanche of threats for this one. Moreover, during the most recent episode of his podcast, he started to go through his notes in order to find what other topics he and the team could discuss. Eventually, the rapper got to a question from himself to himself, and to paraphrase it, he basically asked himself: “Are you sure you want to do this?” Then, he decided to jump into the fire and called NBA YoungBoy “trash” and a “horrible” MC. The Slaughterhouse lyricist went on to explain his take, which included some harsh reflections on his success.

“Uh, what else do I have written down here…” Joe Budden began his comments with skeptical anticipation. “‘You ready to tell the truth about NBA YoungBoy?’ Am I ready to do this? That n***a is trash. He’s horrible. He is horrible, he is horrible, he is really, really, really, really, really bad. I don’t know him as a person, I’m only speaking about music. He is really, really, really bad. And that thing happened with him. When he was out, the label pushed a button and did some YouTube s**t. All the little kids had to just come to the f***ing gathering and tell you about NBA YoungBoy’s views and how great he is and how awesome he is and how amazing he’s doing.

“Now that the label’s backed up a bit, and now that we done had about three or four projects while he’s been in Utah on house arrest– I know [he had way more than that],” Joe Budden concluded. “We’ve had way more than that,” Ice added on the podcast. “That, to me, is where the problem lies. Because earlier YoungBoy music don’t sound like this to me. Like, he just dropped a single today. I listened to it last night, and I cut it off midway through. I’m just like, I can’t. [The difference between his music then and now is that] I could hear it. Like, literally.”

Meanwhile, what do you think? Is YB overrated or is this group of podcasters just hating on a new generation star? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments section down below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Joe Budden and NBA YoungBoy.

NBA YoungBoy’s Baby Mama Claims He Let Two Women Beat Her Up In Front Of Son

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy now faces harrowing accusations of violence and indifference from one of his baby mothers. Moreover, she took to Twitter to claim that he ordered two female friends of his to attack his former partner, and posted uncensored, bloody, and gruesome images of the state they allegedly left her in. Apparently, this all happened while she was holding her son with the rapper in her hands, which makes the supposed altercation all the more horrible. As of writing this article, we have no further context for this apart from her side of the story.

“Watch who you have kids by,” YoungBoy’s baby mother’s claim began. “My son dad let his wh*res yes wh*res with an S cause it was 2 of them weak a** h*es. He gave them an order to get me lol you know b***es who never came from s**t gone do it. My son was in my hands. His dad just sat back and watched smh. I would be wrong if I pressed charges on yall for doing me like this with my baby in my hand. But karma gone eat yall a**es up. I got my son back I’m happy that’s all that matters fr. 5 stitches later. And her punk a** fist ain’t do that shorty had sum.”

Unfortunately for the Baton Rouge MC, this isn’t a promising look considering his other headlines this week. He and Baby Drill celebrated their rival Lil Rye getting jumped in Atlanta, along with accusations that King Von’s sister and one of YB’s exes got into a fight. Overall, it seems like a pretty contentious and conflict-heavy time in YoungBoy’s life, and speculating on who has the side of the blame will get us nowhere. Instead, these are patterns that he and others perpetuate, and that horribly impact family dynamics and the children raised in these environments.

With that in mind, we hope that things smooth out or at least distance themselves for the parties involved. The “Slime Examination” MC recently voiced his struggles with mental health, and we don’t know how much of that is responsible for his behavior. What we do know is that he and the alleged attackers should be accountable if this really went down, and while the mother of his son might not press charges, it’s something that should be discussed when it comes to his visibility and the platform he gets.

NBA YoungBoy Drops Surprise New Single & Music Video, “Slime Examination”: Stream

November 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy is hand-down one of the most prolific rappers working right now, and to no one’s surprise, he’s still down to keep that work ethic up. Moreover, he just dropped a surprise new single and music video, “Slime Examination,” and it’s a doozy to say the least. The likely divisive track might be a single to the Baton Rouge MC’s upcoming fourth album of 2023, Decided 2, which will be a sequel to his previous 2018 project. Even if it’s not, the music video shows a good indication of where he’s at in his life right now: cars, some female friends, family, luxury within a closed circle. It’s exactly the kind of aspirational but also at-arms-length presentation that YB embodies.

However, you may be wondering why we predict that this will be a divisive track. That’s because YoungBoy’s vocals around the choruses and bridges is very shrill, perhaps the most strained that his voice has ever been up against a melody. Still, for all his online haters, you can’t deny that it isn’t at least a passionate performance from him. Lyrically, the 24-year-old talks about trying to find a balance between the streets, grief, his family, and his career. If you know his personal history and how he’s requesting a change in his house arrest due to his mental health, you know how hard the intersection of these topics hits.

NBA YoungBoy’s “Slime Examination”: Watch The Music Video

Meanwhile, the instrumental here is pretty basic for the “Heard Of Me” artist: sad guitar licks, dry trap rhythms, and an overall minimal atmosphere. It might not be the best beat ever, but for hardcore fans, his vocal performance might be enough to carry it over the edge and increase hype for Decided 2, which drops next week (November 10). On that note, if you haven’t heard “Slime Examination” yet, find it on YouTube, as it isn’t on traditional streaming services as of writing this article. Let us know what you think about it in the comments and peep some standout bars below. As always, log back into HNHH for more on YoungBoy and the latest great hip-hop each week.

Quotable Lyrics
I done drove inside that Porsche and let her ride me like a surfboard,
Ridin’ ’round in that Rolls, young n***a, get one if you work for it,
Partyin’ with these hoes, I get holy, need to go to church for it,
Wanderin’ inside the hole, I ain’t had to use no cloak

Suge Knight’s Praise For NBA YoungBoy: “He Marches To His Own Beat”

October 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy remains a very polarizing figure in rap, with possibly its most ardent fanbase but with the most amount of haters, too. Moreover, he feels like even companies like YouTube often blackball him and undercut his success and outreach, and even with those crutches, he’s made an undeniable impact with listeners and the industry alike. However, the Baton Rouge MC is not exactly an underdog story in the eyes of the media, as he seems more combative against the industry than eager to step in it. Still, he has a lot of people that really connect with him in that space, including one Suge Knight. During a recent episode of his new prison podcast, he gave the young Don’t Try This At Home artist his flowers- or rather, his cigars.

“But you still got people still in the game doing well,” the Death Row Records boss began. “And they deserve their cigars. you know? It’s just like… NBA YoungBoy. Man, I like that lil’ young motherf***er. He deserves his cigar. He talk s**t, he about that life. You know, he march to his own motherf***ing beat, you know?”

Even if you’re not a fan of YB’s style, output, antics, or persona, you can’t deny that Suge is pretty spot-on with his assessment. YoungBoy is an incredibly prolific and self-motivated artist whose discography represents a consistent grind and a hard-working mentality. Sure, he doesn’t always draw from his own style, as he hopped on the rage wave recently. In addition, the 24-year-old has one more album left for this year (his fourth), so maybe that will change this conversation of influences. Regardless of what different worlds he might occupy with different material, it’s clear that everything is of his own design.

Meanwhile, the “Now Who” spitter’s aversion to industry figures and longstanding beefs also speak to this. He usually doesn’t translate very well to to the old heads, so props to Suge for staying tapped in. Maybe this will change one day, but it’s because YB’s status is reaching true star levels within the game all on his own.

J. Cole Didn’t Diss NBA YoungBoy On New Verse, Manager Ib Claims

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Hold your horses, folks; it looks like the apparent feud between J. Cole and NBA YoungBoy is more one-sided than people assumed. For those unaware, fans recently went wild for the former’s performance on the track “The Secret Recipe.” with Lil Yachty. While they assumed that he actually sent shots at YB in his verse, some more trustworthy authority figures cleared the air. Moreover, Dreamville manager and close friend of Cole’s, Ibrahim “Ib” Hamad, took to Twitter to address these speculations. He doesn’t understand how people drew this connection, although it’s not as unreasonable as he paints.

“I’m pretty sure this is [cap emoji],” Ib wrote on the social media platform. “Not sure how y’all heard that Cole verse and put that together, impressive [crying-laughing emoji].” Here’s what J. Cole actually rapped on the song that people think took aim at YoungBoy. “N***as makin’ threats and I laugh, that’s ’cause you ain’t a threat,” the North Carolina MC spit. “Don’t ask how I feel ’bout no rappers, s**t, they okay, I guess / Incomin’ call, press the button, the one that say accept / He FaceTime to ask for a feature and saw the face of death.”

Ib Denies Assumption That J. Cole Dissed NBA YoungBoy

Meanwhile, people think this connects back to the Baton Rouge hitmaker’s bars for J. Cole on his track “F**k The Industry, Pt. 2.” On it, YB took aim at a lot of different rappers, as the title suggests, but the feud with Cole might seem bizarre. Regardless, these more direct shots also center around features. “J a h*e, that n***a played it cold like he was gon’ do a feature,” YoungBoy rapped on the track. “So I texted his line a muscle sign, I swear it’s gon’ be nice to meet you.”

Of course, it’s likely that this intervention from Ib will kill this dead in the water. After all, the 4 Your Eyez Only lyricist is well-known for going back on rap beefs, especially with the newer generation outside of his style and approach. As such, maybe the Never Broke Again leader holds some contempt, but it looks like Cole isn’t reciprocating anything. With that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on YoungBoy and J. Cole.

Tyler, The Creator Posts NBA YoungBoy On His Instagram Story

September 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When it comes to unexpected duos, few have garnered as much respect and acclaim for a one-time collab as Tyler, The Creator and NBA YoungBoy. What’s more is that, thanks to one social media post, fans hope that their chemistry won’t just be a singular event. YB’s surprising melodic tendencies, sweetness, and performance compared to his previous music shined on T’s CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST cut, “WUSYANAME,” also featuring vocals from Ty Dolla $ign. It may have just been one song, but it still prompted praise for the Baton Rouge MC’s versatility and for the Cali artist’s creational vision.

Furthermore, the two actually seem relatively close; sure, they don’t post up all the time, but they have a lot of love for each other. Tyler, The Creator in particular has often addressed what it was like working with the Richest Opp spitter. It’s been some time since “WUSYANAME” came out, but it’s clear that he still holds the Never Broke Again honcho in high regard. On Sunday (September 17), he posted an unprompted picture of YoungBoy on his Instagram Story, wearing Supreme (which Odd Future repped heavy) and wearing his Opium chain.

Tyler Shouts Out YB On IG

“Sending love to NBA YoungBoy man, for real,” Tyler, The Creator told a Brooklyn crowd at a pop-up concert in July of 2021. “He’s such a sweetheart, dude. We kicked it a few times. That n***a’s a sweet person, my bro. N***as think he’s evil, no, he’s fun.” “hes a sweet heart man,” he tweeted a few days prior. “sending love to youngboy, such an interesting person.” In addition, the 32-year-old reflected on their process a couple of years later during a recent interview with the Rap Radar podcast with Elliott Wilson and B.Dot Miller. “Dude, we got Ice cream we went to go vintage car shopping,” he recalled. “He’s so nice. He sent his verse back in a day.

“[Most artists] just punch in and can’t even stay on f***ing topic of a song,” the “OKAGA, CA” mastermind continued. “He not only stayed on topic, he just sounded so great. When I made [‘WUSYANAME’], I just knew I wanted that Louisiana drawl, tone, accent over that loop. I asked him like, ‘Yo, I kind of got this idea. Want to do this?’ Not only did he deliver for me and sounded great, he asked me ‘Is this OK? Is it good?’ With my musical knowledge and how much I love it, it’s not that shocking. But at surface level, I guess people wouldn’t expect someone like me to even want to associate with a YoungBoy. But I love that s**t. He’s a sweetheart, man.” For more news on Tyler, The Creator and YoungBoy, stay posted on HNHH.

YK Osiris Blasts Foolio For Claiming He Dropped NBA YoungBoy’s Location

September 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It seems like no matter how hard he tries, YK Osiris will always get roped into some form of online scandal with other artists or pretty much anyone. Sure, a lot of that is his own doing, but other times, he gets sidelined with no knowledge of it. Moreover, if you recall, Foolio pulled up on NBA YoungBoy’s hotel room amid their beef, which caused a lot of online discussion. In a newly released snippet from one of the former’s Instagram Live sessions, he made a pretty eyebrow-raising claim. Apparently, Foolio got YB’s address from none other than Osiris himself.

According to Foolio’s side of the story, YK Osiris actually reached out to one of his peers and gave him the hotel room that YoungBoy was staying at in the Florida area. Later, he went on to narrate how they went up the elevator and so on, but the clip that made rounds on social media doesn’t detail it. Regardless, as much as that incident was in the past, this re-sparked interest and surprise concerning the whole thing. After all, before this, very few people could even recall the most remote link between these three artistic figures.

Once YK Osiris found out about this, though, he took to Instagram to voice his frustration with all this drama. “This s**t is so l*me, bro,” the Jacksonville native kicked off his social media rant. “I gotta get on here and defend myself every freakin’ time. I be chillin’, drinking my margarita. A n***a wanna come up here and cap, and get clickbaits. Man, leave me the f**k out of that, n***a. You know damn well I ain’t got nothing to do with that. Stand on your own. You a man, bruh, stand on your own. I’m not with none of that, bruh. That ain’t no real n***a s**t.

I don’t get in n***as beefs. I never have beef with n***as, bruh, I don’t beef. Stay in your own lane, bruh, and relax. Keep me out of that s**t, bruh, you got people DM-ing me. I don’t do none of that, I don’t involve myself with that s**t, n***a. Like, come on, bruh.

NBA YoungBoy Is The Face Of Supreme’s Latest Ad

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy and Supreme have something in common: they have just as many fans as they do haters these days. In the Baton Rouge rapper’s case, that’s been built in for most of his career, and he continues to exceed expectations despite that. On the other hand, the streetwear brand had its explosive moment in pop culture, and has understandably and naturally dwindled a bit since. Still, they are two titans in their fields, and it’s only natural for them to team up and cause a bit fo a ruckus online. Moreover, YB recently posed for some pics in Supreme for their Instagram page, and fans had divided reactions.

While some fans threw a lot of praise at the Richest Opp MC as they always do, his haters said that this meant the end of the Supreme brand. Regardless, others were glad about the mixed reception (to a photo? Seems a bit much), because now it will be easier for them to cop some stuff. That aside, YoungBoy Never Broke Again wore a classic red box shirt, and donned a black box hoodie in another picture. What’s more is that he appeared with a child, presumably one of his own, and beside some stacks of cash that cornily spell out an “S.”

However, perhaps the most interesting thing about this photoshoot is that the 23-year-old wore his Opium chain. If you recall, he and Playboi Carti sent fans into a frenzy when the latter posted the former wearing the rage label’s chain on his Instagram Story. Reports emerged of this being a gift from the label boss Carti himself, and many think that there’s a collab album or some other link-up on the way. Neither artist publicly confirmed this news, but at least it’ll only slightly break the Internet if it drops.

Might that be the most volatile, annoying, meat-riding, and viral fanbase crossover in history? Probably, but with no official news, we’ll just have to wait and see if it actually goes down. In the meantime, we’re sure that YB will continue to cross over with brands and become a bigger artist. With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on NBA YoungBoy.
