NBA YoungBoy has again tied with Drake and Future’s current chart record after Richest Opps debuted in the top-ten of the Billboard 200.
The latest album from the Baton Rouge rapper debuted at No. 4 on this week’s chart, with 51,000 album-equivalent units sold in its first week.

This placement, per Chart Data, means that YoungBoy tied Drizzy and King Pluto with having 15 projects in the Billboard 200 top 10 albums as a rapper, the third highest amount in US history. The only two MC’s that surpassed the three aforementioned rap stars are JAY-Z and Nas with 16.

While Hov may still reign supreme, NBA YoungBoy had previously bested the rap mogul for having the most Billboard 200 entries. JAY-Z still has the highest number of No. 1 placements on the Billboard 200 with 14, while YoungBoy only sports 3, but after YoungBoy’s Ma’ I Got a Family tape debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 last November, his grand total on the chart was brought up to 25, surpassing Hov, who has 24.
YoungBoy’s current tie with the 6 God is also notable because the Top rapper seemed to throw shade at Drizzy on Richest Opp’s ninth track “Fuck The Industry Pt. 2.”
“Talked to Drake ‘cross FaceTime, he wasn’t feelin’ me/ Told me that he fuck with Durk, damn, that shit gettin’ to me/ Told me that he like the shit I’m doin’, but can’t do shit with me/ So when we cross our ways, fuck what you say, bitch, you my enemy,” he rapped on the venomous track.
The diss caused J. Prince and Birdman to pay a visit to YoungBoy at his abode in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he’s currently under house arrest related to his 2021 gun arrest.

Prince shared a picture from their meeting on Instagram last week and said he encouraged the 23-year-old to not take any more shots at Drake.
“As you all can see, I had a good time kicking it with the homies in Utah. On behalf of the lil Homie YB, me and my brother Birdman were able to have a real conversation face to face,” his caption began. “We talked about the past, the present, and the future. But most importantly, we left each other with a mutual respect moving forward.”
