YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s personal life seems complicated to say the least. With multiple children and several baby’s mothers, it’s a miracle he ever has time to record music.
According to Akademiks, the Baton Rouge-bred rapper missed out on a rare opportunity when he left J. Cole waiting for him at a studio for eight hours. The former Everyday Struggle co-host made the claim during a recent Twitch live session.
“J. Cole waited in the studio for eight hours for YoungBoy to show up,” he explained. “YoungBoy didn’t show up. “Facts. These are facts! Your favorite rapper, n-gga. J. Cole? He sat in the studio for eight hours for a session with YoungBoy. YoungBoy never showed up. Let me be fair to YoungBoy. No disrespect to J. Cole, J. Cole’s just a rapper.
“Youngboy be going through shit. He’s living life, he’s going through shit. YoungBoy said, ‘Yo, my energy is not fit to be in the studio with that guy.’ It wasn’t about J. Cole. It was just that he, and personally what he was going through, wasn’t fit to be in that environment.”
Akademiks also noted YoungBoy isn’t the “most courteous” person in the world and neglected to call Cole to let him know he wasn’t coming.
Cole fans have been waiting on The Fall Off album — his follow-up to KOD — since 2018. In the interim, the celebrated MC has delivered a handful of singles, including 2020’s two-song pack Lewis Street: “The Climb Back” and “Lion King On Ice.”
He also dropped the controversial single “Snow On Tha Bluff,” which arrived last June. The song was met with a swift backlash after many listeners determined he was addressing Chicago rapper/activist Noname, who’d been an outspoken critic of how “top-selling rappers” responded to the May 2020 police killing of George Floyd. Although Noname fired back with the Madlib-produced “Song 33,” she soon apologized for causing a “distraction” with the track and retreated from the controversy.
J. Cole Lays Out His Release Schedule & There Will Be Plenty Of Music Before 'The Fall Off'
Meanwhile, Cole has provided minimal updates on the impending project. Last December, the Dreamville boss shared a rare Instagram post that featured an outline for his release schedule. The post included a photo of a notebook with “The Fall Off Era” written across the top. Below the header, he wrote “Features,” “ROTD3” — which are both crossed out — “The Off Season,” “It’s A Boy” and “The Fall Off.”
He added in the caption, “I still got some goals I gotta check off for’ I scram…” which led many of his fans to believe he was plotting some kind of hiatus. Whatever the case, a Cole album is expected in the near future and it likely won’t have anything to do with YoungBoy NBA.
Wow, this is interesting news.
hopefully Cole got his bread from NBA fuckboy
The lead in this story is beyond washed. Because YoungBoy has kids by multiple women he’s incapable of following his work schedule? The lead sets the tone, provides essential information, hooks the reader. This site needs some professional development- maybe a few seminars on craft…
Ummm that’s what Ak was getting at – he has SHIT going on in his personal life and if you’ve been following his story, his baby mama drama is messy as fuck. One stabbed another one for christ’s sake. And he has SEVEN children – tell me you can get to the studio with seven kids and 5 baby mamas or whatever the fuck smart guy.
I was commenting on the structure of the story brody. There shouldn’t be a hint of opinion in it- unless it’s an editorial, which this isn’t. Also, him missing the session because of his kids/baby moms is speculation. The story simply is that he left Cole hanging. Dude might have had the runs. Or maybe he lost a diamond tooth and needed emergency surgery. Relax a little bit, it’s almost Friday.
Hey J, my bad on the last reply, I meant that for the other dude Assumptions, not for you, you’re straight. My apologies, bro.
Why are you assuming how often he sees the seven kids? I am not assuming one way or the other. He may see them all the time. Or maybe the moms have them most of the time. Doesn’t matter to us either way. Dude skipped out on studio time and never said he wasn’t gonna show up. How rude, word to Stephanie Tanner.
Man, whatever, children or no children, a man, especially as a Black man in this country, needs to handle his business, period. Miss me with that. If you can’t make the session, call the man and tell him you can’t make it, what’s so hard about that.
As far having 7 kids…man, please I know we’re not using that as an excuse. You said seven children like that wasn’t 100% his fault. No one told him to go have that many kids. Weakest argument I’ve ever heard. Everybody’s got problems. Dwight Howard has 8 children with different baby mamas, we all know his issues, yet he managed to get it together well enough to win a ring. Karl-Anthony Towns lost 7 family members to COVID in the last 18 months but he’s still ballin, showing up to practice, taking care of business. Talkin about Youngboy got 7 kids before 21 years old, so he’s going through it..so what? KAT lost 7 relatives in less than 2 years, including his mama. I guarantee he’s going through 10 times worse everyday, even right now. That’s enough to make him want to take the whole year off, and no one would blame him. But he found the strength and discipline to man up and use that pain to perfect his craft, and it shows on the court.
Life is hard, we all know this. Some things are out our control…and some things we can definitely control. You can control how many women you’re sleeping with. Baby Moms trying to killing herself, can’t control that, true…but again, wouldn’t be a baby moms in the first place if he didn’t go there. Sounds cold to say, but somebody’s gotta say it. You can control calling and telling people if you can’t make it to work. You can definitely control giving a guy like J Cole the common courtesy of letting him know directly, man to man. Bottom line, he left Cole hanging, he should’ve called somebody, let his people know he needed some time off instead of booking a set with one of the biggest rappers in the industry just to flake out. There are other with bigger problems that are able to do better, so Youngboy needs to do the same. Get it together, get some help, or do both, but do something. And people stop making excuses for dudes, a Black man in this country is always gonna have some issues, but it’s no excuse to be unprofessional like that.
Maybe SpaceGhostHerpp had a super bad flair up off his HadesBumps
SpaceGhostHerpp is the funniest thing I’ll hear all day. Thank you for that.
Skipping studio sessions with one of the world’s biggest rappers and having 7 kids by the time you’re 21 is not really a sure fire way to ensure you are “never broke again’.
If the premise even existed…..you would def get “COMMENT OF THE DAY”!
Comment of the year
That collab would have been special.
That’s true would been lit they’ll get around to it Top was shell chilling probably thought it was a hoax or this could just be a rumor
“special” as in “special olympics”, anything YMCA-NBA or whatever his name is turns “special”
I am not surprised by this news.
That’s taking cpt(colored people time) to another level. I wonder who paid for the session
Young boy is garbage ,there’s a million rappers out now ,that I just don’t know how the fuck they got signed to a major label ,all I hear on the radio is garbage beyond garbage
In this day and age, all nba had to do was go live on social media and tell a mafucka he couldn’t rock up
From now on YBNBA’s new name is Young boy Never Showed Up. The same way he was a no show for Cole is probably the same way he gone be a deadbeat and a no show for his kids.
J Cole’s just a rapper? You don’t say. So wtf is Youngboy, other than a trash ass rapper too? This n8gga smh…
J Cole is a very positive influence rapper..NBA is a father of 8 kids. NBA should be getting his hustle on much as he can before all his baby mama drama caught up and all them want 1 million a year for child support.
