NBA YoungBoy has announced that he would give up his rap career for $100 million.
On Wednesday, the rapper from Baton Rouge uploaded a picture of his portable hard drive to Instagram. YoungBoy announced to his fans that he was ready to retire from rapping after agreeing to sell the storage device for a huge nine figures.
“You can have it for 100 million,” he wrote in the story, “and I’ll never rap again on everything.”
It’s safe to suppose that the hard disk has a wealth of unheard music. The Last Slimeto, YoungBoy’s fourth studio album, as well as the mixtapes Colors, Realer 2, 3800 Degrees, Ma’ I Got a Family, and Better Than You with DaBaby, were all produced in 2022.
Approximately one month after signing a contract with Motown Records, YoungBoy made the proposition. Insiders informed Variety that “signing was highly competitive” despite the contract’s parameters not being made public.
When DJ Akademiks posted screenshots of their text exchange in July, in which YoungBoy insisted he would stop rapping after his upcoming album, the 23-year-old MC rapper fueled retirement speculations.
