It appears the YBN Crew has dissolved. The collective (short for Young Boss Niggas) was previously comprised of founder YBN Nahmir, YBN Almighty Jay and YBN Cordae as well as YBN Carl, Dayday, Glizzy, Malik, Manny, NickyBaandz, Walker and Coop. But on Thursday night (August 6), Nahmir claimed via Twitter the other members have abandoned the crew.
“They left this YBN shit in the gutter,” he wrote. “Remember that. I’ll turn it up myself. #ybnNAHMIR.”
When a fan asked Nahmir to clarify, he replied, “Yea it’s only me kid.”
Nahmir originally met Almighty Jay in 2014 while playing a game of Grand Theft Auto V. Jay then introduced Nahmir to YBN Glizzy who he met on a Grand Theft Auto forum. They quickly realized they all had an affinity for rap, so they ultimately decided to record a song called “Hood Mentality,” which was released in 2015.
From there, the YBN collective continued to grow and Cordae agreed to join to the crew in 2018. That same year, Cordae released a remix of Eminem’s “My Name Is” that went viral. As YBN steadily gained notoriety, they decided to capitalize on the momentum and drop the YBN: The Mixtape featuring Gucci Mane, Chris Brown, Machine Gun Kelly, Wiz Khalifa and Lil Skies.

As their stock continued to climb, Cordae proved to be a standout member. His debut studio album, The Lost Boy, arrived in July 2019 and was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 62nd Grammy Awards.
Last month, Cordae was arrested in Kentucky while protesting in the name of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old black woman who was mistakenly shot and killed by Louisville Metro Police Department as they were executing a no-knock search warrant at Taylor’s apartment.
Cordae has yet to directly respond to Nahmir. His latest tweet reads, “My future so bright I prolly go blind before I blink twice.” So far, no word from Almighty Jay either.
Wait, They were a grew…Oh My God…Noo!!!! There’s more of them!!!
Crew
I thought YBN stood for Young Bitch Nigga.
Nah its Yo Babymama Nudes
F
Yo baby momma nudes = YBMN
these niggas are all garbage anyways
I’ve never listened to the other two, but Cordae can spit.
Nah, Cordae is just another run of the mill rapper that can rap but nothing about him stands out. Only gets points for not “mumbling”.
uh that Cordae tweet was a Kendrick lyric from the heart pt. 2.
The 2nd most productive member of the group talking the most and he still barely has any musical output compared to Cordae lmao.
Maybe it failed because of that retarded 3 letter acronym in front of your names. “Young Boss Niggas” has to be the corniest shit to put before your name. Are these dudes 10 year olds or some shit?? Same goes the rest of the clowns copying each other like NBA Fuckboy, NLE Choppa, YFN Lucci etc.
They were pretty young when they came up with the name. They met playing an online game that should say enough. Either way, it’s just a name the music speaks for itself and cordae is definitely going to be here to stay
Well when rumors of the nba women free orgy took place, you guys didn’t deny it. So you got blackballed.
