“I feel no pain when I be high and I be fresher than a bitch/ So I pop Perkys, yeah, yeah/ Talkin’ ’bout 30’s, yeah, yeah/ Pour that drink up, yeah, yeah/ Wit’ hydrocodone, yeah, yeah/ I pop ecstasy yeah, yeah/ Half a Xanax, yeah, yeah,” he rapped on the latter.
His drug use also landed him in legal trouble back in 2020 when he and 15 others were arrested at a music video shoot after Baton Rouge police discovered marijuana, Hydrocodone, Xanax and digital scales, along with numerous handguns and rifles.
YoungBoy (real name Kentrell Gaulden) was charged with possession of schedule 1 drugs and released on bail.
