NBA YoungBoy Says He And Lil Durk Are No Longer Beefing
From 100.9 The Beat:
YoungBoy Never Broke Again shocked fans when he told them that his ongoing beef with Lil Durk is over.
On Tuesday, December 5, Million Dollaz Worth Of Game host Gillie Da Kid posted a video in which he reveals the two artists he wants to headline his Gilliefest 2. The Philly native said he’d want Lil Durk and YoungBoy to headline the show on the same night in order to show younger fans that their beef doesn’t matter. YB saw the video and decided to provide fans with a positive update that may give Gillie hope about his dream lineup.
“OG, I talk to Durk like every 2-3 nights,” YoungBoy said in a video he posted to social media. “He be talking to me about my music. He focused on a billion dollars right now.”
“Get them to let me out of this house, I hit that stage for you,” YB continued. “How you want me to come? Every chain on or just one chain.”
YB added that his issues with Durk were just “entertainment.” It didn’t sound too entertaining when YB and Durk were fully engaged in a lyrical back-and-forth last year following the release of the OTF leader’s “Ahhh Ha.” YB responded to Durk on his “I Hate YoungBoy” track, which also featured swipes at Gucci Mane, Lil Baby and others. YB also fanned the flames of their beef with “F**k The Industry Pt. 2” in which he called out J. Cole for collaborating with Durk.

J. Prince Confronts NBA YoungBoy Over Drake Diss
From HipHopDX:
J. Prince has stepped in to ensure that NBA YoungBoy’s issues with Drake don’t go any further, warning the rowdy rap star to remove the 6 God from his “enemy list.”
YoungBoy threw shots at Drake on his latest album, Richest Opp, which arrived last week, calling him out for apparently refusing to work with him out of loyalty to YB’s fierce rival Lil Durk.
“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 “Fuck the Industry Pt. 2.”
It appears YoungBoy’s lyrical darts were enough to make J. Prince and Birdman pay a visit to the Baton Rouge native in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he’s currently on house arrest stemming from a 2021 gun arrest in Los Angeles, in an attempt to diffuse the situation.
The feared Rap-A-Lot Records founder posted a photo of their meeting on Instagram on Wednesday (May 17) along with a lengthy message urging YoungBoy to put his disdain for Drizzy to bed.
