Early Life

Where is NBA Youngboy from?

Youngboy was born and raised in north Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It’s not known exactly what street the rapper grew up on, but he confirms he grew up living in his grandmother’s house.

Unfortunately, the rapper’s father was incarcerated when he was just eight years old. He was sentenced to 55 years in prison for a robbery gone wrong. Afterward, his mother moved out of town, leaving Youngboy with his grandmother.

NBA Youngboy Quotes

“I got my way with my grandma,” he said. “I used to get whoopings with my mom, but my grandma spoiled me.”

“I’m from a rare place. It’s a different culture, different atmosphere, police crooked. Different emojis, and when I say emojis I mean personalities.”

The artist stopped showing up to school his freshman year of high school and he was subsequently arrested for robbery and sent to a detention center in Tallulah, Louisiana. It was there where Youngboy began writing lyrics.

Sadly, Youngboy’s grandmother passed away due to heart failure after his release. He then moved in with his friend and fellow rapper NBA 3Three.

Rap Career

He rode the wave by releasing his mega-hit mixtape AI Youngboy 2, which accumulated 144.7 million on-demand audio streams during its opening week.

Since 2020, Youngboy has dropped two more studio albums titled Top and Sincerely, Kentrell, which he released from prison. His high-energy delivery and melodic vocals separate Youngboy from his contemporaries.
