Is NBA Youngboy a Blood or a Crip?

At just 18-years-old, he’s been solidifying his spot in the game for the past couple years dropping project after project, although most people may know him from memes or his baby mama problems.

Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he was raised by his grandmother and spent a lot of time in the streets. At the time of his birth, his dad was sentenced to 55 years in prison.

Growing up in his neighborhood was tough and he did not grow up having a lot of possessions. He ended up getting involved in the street life early to try and maintain a certain lifestyle that a lot of rappers portray still to this day.

During high school, his passion for music began to show to the point where he dropped out of 9th grade just to pursue music and also hustle on the side.

In an interview with The Fader, he said,

“ I hate school, I really don’t think its important. I got money without school. You go to school to become somebody and get a job and get some decent money, I got it without it.”

Despite having a very common dislike for school he still got his high school diploma to say that he has it and also to be a good example to his little brother.

Despite trying to set a good example for his brother this do or die attitude to pursue this lavish lifestyle got him in trouble with the police and he was arrested on robbery charges and was sent to a detention center in Tallulah, Louisiana.

While in the detention center he began writing songs for his upcoming projects he was planning to release. When he was released from the detention center his mother passed away due to heart failure.

He had to move in with fellow Louisiana rapper 3Three. They worked together to scrounge up whatever cash they had to pay for studio time.

NBA Youngboy started making music at the young age of 14 using a microphone that he bought at Walmart. He released his first mixtapes Like Before Fame, in 2014. A bunch of mixtapes followed Mind of a Menace, Mind of a Menace 2 and Mind of a Menace 3.

But his mixtape 38 Baby was what really put him on the map the project featured Lil Snupe, Boosie Badazz, and Kevin Gates. What also uplifted the project was an ongoing beef between NBA YoungBoy and another Baton Rouge rapper Scotty Cain.

In 2016, NBA YoungBoy was arrested in Austin, Texas for a first-degree murder charge in connection with a drive-by shooting and he was taken to East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana.

While in prison he kept his momentum going by releasing music. A couple songs that hit included “Win or Lose,” “Don’t Matter,” and “Too Much.” The Louisiana rapper was eventually released from prison in May 2017 after taking a plea deal and posting bail.

A week after leaving prison, the Louisiana rapper released the single, “Untouchable.” The song was a smash hit garnering over 132 million views on YouTube.

The song details of NBA YoungBoy struggles that he had to go through just to get where he is now and how he never changed on the people that were really there for him.

The song peaked at 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. On August 3, 2017, he released his mixtape, AI YoungBoy which charted at 24 on the Billboard 200. The second single from AI YoungBoy, “No Smoke” peaked at number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“No Smoke” talks about how none of the rappers are really who they say they are and they don’t want beef with NBA Youngboy because he is really about that action and that life.

YoungBoy announced his debut studio album, Until Death Call My Name in January 2018 and was released later in April. He released the single “Outside Today” on January 6, 2018. The song became his highest charting song, peaking at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In the track, he raps about not wanting to go out anymore due to the media falling him everywhere because of his status as a rapper. He can no longer have a normal life because of his fame that his accrued and it annoys him.

NBA YoungBoy’s music discusses the struggles of living in the hood and seeing people that you grew up die around you and how there is nothing there to help you cope besides drugs and alcohol.

He describes entering a state of no feeling in order to cope with the pain that he has experienced in his life, along with self-medicating with other substances.

Despite all the tragedies that he born into and had to experience he rose above it all and triumphed and is now able to provide for his family and his kids.

For only being 18-years-old, YoungBoy has accomplished a lot and we can’t wait to see what projects he comes out with next.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Gang Affiliation: from RapWay

Everyone knows NBA YoungBoy is a proud native of Louisiana. However, with YB’s cult fanbase, it doesn’t come as a surprise that some of his most loyal fans would go to extra lengths to find out where he lives in his hometown of Baton Rouge.

This past week, it began to surface that fans found YoungBoy’s address on Google Maps. Google typically sends cars out to record streets around the country and the world to continuously update their maps.

However, while you could point out any house in Baton Rouge and simply claim that it’s YB’s, the image for the residence on Google Maps is all you need to prove that it belongs (or at leased used to belong) to YB, because he is in the photo.

That’s right. If you were to look up the address 3863 Chippewa St. in Baton Rouge, you will see Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, better known as YoungBoy Never Broke Again, standing on the front lawn.

While he appears to be a bit younger than he is now, he still stands in the same manner fans have always noticed he does, donning jean shorts and a wife beater.

YoungBoy is currently facing up to seven years in prison on firearms charges that he was in jail for in 2021. Now that he is on house arrest, he has been able to make and release music, but his upcoming May trial will determine his future in music for the foreseeable future.

Stay tuned for more updates about NBA Youngboy’s legal status.

Bloods is a street gang which is based in Los Angeles. The gang is famous for its involvement in drugs, theft, and murder, among other criminal activities. The predominately African American gang is traditionally associated with the color red. It is nationally known for its rivalry with the Crips gang.

The gang was said to be formed in the early 1970s as the Crips spread throughout Los Angeles. Various gangs who refused to join the Crips banded together for protection. They eventually took the name Bloods and adopted the color red to distinguish it from the Crips’ blue.

Now let’s examine if NBA Youngboy is crip or blood.

NBA Youngboy himself hasn’t come out saying he is part of either crip or blood. However, there are good arguments on both sides.

Is NBA Youngboy a Blood?

NBA Youngboy at the end of his song “I-10” has said Blood gang or no gang, UBN or UB Out. UBN stands for United Blood Nation. He is probably under Young Thug as he has the Young Thug Chain.

It’s not new information that NBA Youngboy is the general of the 4kt gang. 4KT is a gang created by NBA YoungBoy. It is also short for “For Kentrall Trey” a fallen friend of YoungBoy.

However, there are other rumors that 4kt is the first letter of NBA Youngboy’s children who are Kayden, Kamron, Taylin, Kamiri, Kacey) which has 4 k and 1 t.

4KT is rumored to be a Blood set formed by YB since he lives in LA. I believe this since there’s a number of Blood sets with Trey in their names (i.e. Nine Trey Gangsters).

Furthermore, it is rumored that NBA Youngboy is under Young Thug as he has a Young Thug Chain. Now we all know Young Thug is a big-time Blood and he has called NBA Youngboy to be free when he was arrested.

Youngboy was arrested in September 2020 after being reportedly connected for guns. After his arrest, Young Thug sent a message to the 4KT general, telling him to get home safely soon. “Free Young,” said the rapper on Instagram Stories. The two rappers have worked together on several occasions, including on 2018’s “Permanent Scar”.

So as things stand all things point out to NBA Youngboy being a Blood. However, let’s first examine his connections with Crip.

Is NBA Youngboy a Crip?

Now that we have examined the reasons for NBA Youngboy being a Blood let’s look at his associations with Crip.

Since NBA Youngboy made a song with Snoop Dogg who is thought to be part of the Crip gang there were some voices saying that NBA Youngboy is a Crip as why else would Snoop Dogg make a song with a Blood.

However, that is not always the case and in this business all that matters is money. Mozzy has also made a song with Snoop Dogg, and he has openly stated his affiliations with Blood. So, we can come to the conclusion that making a song with a Crip doesn’t make one a Crip.

So now it’s time for a conclusion.
