YoungBoy started writing and making music around the age of fourteen, eventually dropping his first mixtape Life Before Fame in April of 2015.
YoungBoy started to gain recognition when he dropped his projects Mind Of A Menace 3, Before I Go, and 38 Baby, but gained the most recognition for his hit song “38 Baby.”
Shortly after the success of “38 Baby” Young Boy was arrested on November 28, 2016, and was charged with two counts of attempted second-degree murder in connection with a drive-by shooting which occurred November 7, 2016. YoungBoy ended up being sentenced to a ten-year suspended prison sentence after serving six months in prison.
After YoungBoy was released from jail, he dropped “Untouchable” which is one of his biggest hits to date. Following the release of “Untouchable,” YoungBoy released AI YoungBoy on August 4, 2017.
Later on, in 2017 YoungBoy ended the year by dropping Ain’t Too Long and started 2018 by releasing his debut studio album, Until Death Call My Name.
Nowadays YoungBoy has come up with more famous tracks such as “Drawing Symbols,” “Lil Top,” “House Arrest Tingz” and “Around”. These have appeared on albums as AI Youngboy II, Still Flexin', Still Steppin' and Top.
On March 25, 2021, the rapper was taken into custody by the FBI on an outstanding federal warrant for drug and weapon charges which date back to 2016. While locked up, YoungBoy’s team released the rapper’s third studio album, Sincerely, Kentrell, on September 24, 2021: it was originally set to be released in May of the same year. Nearly a month after, on October 22, YoungBoy was released from jail on a $500K bond and is currently placed on house arrest in Utah.
Ending 2021, YoungBoy partnered with the fellow Louisiana native, Birdman to present the two artists' joint mixtape, From The Bayou which would peak at #19 on the Billboard 200.
Beginning 2022 to a ferocious start, YoungBoy would begin to diss King Von on songs such as “Bring The Hook,” and “Fish Scale.” These songs would soon appear on YoungBoy’s eighteenth mixtape, Colors which would later peak at #2 on the Billboard 200.
Later in the year, just a month afterward, YoungBoy would find himself in a viral controversy with the Chicago native, Lil Durk as both of them exchanged brutal disses from Durk’s “AHHH HA,” to YoungBoy’s “I Hate YoungBoy” — both regarding the death of King Von.
Following his hastily start to 2022, YoungBoy would partner up with DaBaby to present the duo’s joint mixtape, BETTER THAN YOU in March. The mixtape would later peak at #10 on the Billboard 200, this would mark YoungBoy’s ninth top ten.
On April 1, 2022, continuing his victorious run, YoungBoy would release The Last Slimeto Sampler, a sample album for his August release, The Last Slimeto. This album would mark YoungBoy’s final album with Atlantic Records.
On July 15, 2022, YoungBoy was found not guilty of his federal guns charge. In a interview on Instagram, YoungBoy announced that he and his team were planning to go on tour.
As planned, on August 5, 2022, YoungBoy released The Last Slimeto which would mark his last album with Atlantic Records, completing the contract. The album would also peak at #1 on the Billboard 200 marking his fifth #1 album. The project would also break a tie with Taylor Swift as it scored a #1 album in each of the past four years.
On September 6, 2022, YoungBoy released Realer 2 as a surprise release, it is presented as a sequel to his December 2018, Realer. Just over a month following the release of Realer 2, YoungBoy released the Juvenile-influenced mixtape, 3800 Degrees which would peak at #12 on the Billboard 200. Two weeks prior to the release of 3800 Degrees, YoungBoy would release yet another mixtape hosted by DJ Drama as a part of his Gangsta Grillz series titled Ma’ I Got A Family.
Through Billboard, on October 24, 2022, it was announced that following YoungBoy’s departure from Atlantic Records, beginning 2023, he would release music under a joint venture deal between his own Never Broke Again and Motown Records.

(This Vade on the keys)
So I guess you ain't just think about me
I got feelings, too
Why you cuttin' up? Why these people 'round me?
I don't know why that you doin'
I had no choice, I felt like I was pushed away
When we first met, never knew I would feel this way (I ain't know)
And this you never ain't know (but you know now)
And ever since that I was young you been on side me
No two-three, I don't ride cheap
These hoes came, abducted me
Try hard just for the hype
Ain't think that you would fuck with me, back then I was nobody
You was fuckin' on that dude and his brother spent my brother body, ooh, ooh
It's a cold story
I can't believe the fact you never told me
We throw out summers, we don't be outnumbered, me and my brothers roll deep
You ain't no different from that bitch, that's what exact you showed me
So I guess you ain't just think about me (so I guess you ain't just think about me)
I got feelings, too (I got feelings, too)
Why you cuttin' up? Why these people 'round me? (Why you cuttin' up? Why these people 'round me?)
I don't know why that you doin' (I don't know why that you doin')
I had no choice, I felt like I was pushed away (ayy, ayy, ayy)
So I had to just go (had to just go)
When we first met, never knew I would feel this way (never know)
And this you never ain't know
I walk out on that stage and I think about lil' Von
Right now I'm up in LA ask you and my son for to come
It's been a whole half a day, I only got two response
I took the fall for my plans, thought I would die once I jumped
But I was flyin' like a eagle
I led my soul do the seein', leave the opps bodies in the road
Oh, oh, oh, probably seen how we get dressed up for my shows
Won't let my pride ever let me get vexed up behind these hoes or my bros
So I guess you ain't just think about me
I got feelings, too
Why you cuttin' up? Why these people 'round me?
I don't know why that you doin'
I had no choice, I felt like I was pushed away
So I had to just go
When we first met, never knew I would feel this way
And this you never ain't know
In "Fire Stars," YoungBoy Never Broke Again reveals his emotional side and reflects on a complicated relationship. He begins by expressing his surprise that the other person involved in the relationship doesn't consider his feelings. He wonders why they are behaving recklessly and allowing other people to interfere. Feeling pushed away, he decides to distance himself from the situation. Although he initially didn't anticipate developing deep feelings for the other person, now they both know the impact they have had on each other.
YoungBoy reflects on their history, mentioning how the other person has been by his side since he was young. He emphasizes that he doesn't settle for anything less and doesn't engage in casual relationships. Despite his doubts, the other person unexpectedly showed interest in him, even when he was still a nobody. However, he also discovers that they were involved with someone else previously, causing him emotional distress. YoungBoy emphasizes that this betrayal is no different from the actions of the other girl.
In the second verse, YoungBoy recalls his experiences performing on stage and reflects on the loss of his friend Lil' Von. He mentions being in Los Angeles and reaching out to the other person and their child. Disappointed by the lack of response, he feels alone and unheeded. YoungBoy admits that he took risks and expected to face severe consequences, but instead, he found a sense of freedom and soaring like an eagle. He metaphorically describes leaving the opposition's bodies in his wake, showcasing his success and resilience. YoungBoy concludes by suggesting that he will not allow his ego to be affected by the behavior of women or his friends.
