NBA YoungBoy is facing some ridicule online after he shared holiday photographs that some people found odd.
On Sunday (March 31), the Baton Rouge rapper shared several group shots with people who viewers took to be members of his family, captioning them “Happy Easter.” It isn’t entirely clear who all the people in the images are.

What caught cyberspace’s attention, though, is that a lot of the people in the crowd were of a different complexion than the MC, prompting a number of trolls to draw comparisons to the 2017 horror film Get Out, in which a Black man visits his girlfriend’s white family, with horrifying results.
“This feel like a scene in get out,” one person wrote, while another simply added: “Get out 2 ???”

One social-media user didn’t pull any punches: “Did Dis N-gga Buy A Family??”
Other took a more sympathetic tone, with comments such as “u look happy brah that’s all that matters” and “These people probably done made him feel better than his own do iykyk.”
On the music side of things, NBA YoungBoy already has a project under his belt in 2024. Soon after its release, he announced plans for dropping another album this year.
The Baton Rouge rapper took to Instagram last week to share the title to the upcoming project: I Just Got a Lot on My Shoulders.

He also gave his 2.5 million followers a look at the cover art, which features him standing in front of a red background while wearing a red jacket, red hat, white jeans with red and white Jordan 1s.
“I just got a lot on my shoulder [top hat emoji] ?/?/24,” he wrote in the post’s caption.
Earlier this month, the 24-year-old released Compliments of Grave Digger Mountain, which is a compilation for his Never Broke Again imprint. The tracklist is made up of music by him, Quando Rondo, BBG Baby Joe, Lil Dump, Herm, Dej RoseGold, Vontina, Ddawg, WhoGangDee and Meechy Baby.
YB dropped a number of projects in 2023, including I Rest My Case, Don’t Try This at Home, Richest Opp and Decided 2, all of which he released on Motown after concluding his contract with Atlantic Records in 2022.

The rapper is currently under house arrest until the end of his federal gun case trial, which is expected to begin in July. He was granted an amendment in December, which allows him to leave his residence for medical appointments.
The court filing for the alteration read: “The defendant is restricted to 24-hour a day lock-down at his residence except for medical appointments and court appearances or other activities specifically approved in advance by the defendant’s pretrial supervision officer.”
