Who Has More Hits: Lil Baby or NBA Youngboy?

As of late, there has been some debate amongst fans as to who has more hits: Lil Baby or NBA Youngboy. While both artists have had their fair share of success, it’s tough to say who is truly the king of the charts.

The History of the Rivalry

It all started in early 2019, when social media users began to compare the number of hits between the two artists. The debate quickly turned into a full-blown rivalry, with fans of both artists claiming that their favorite artist had more hits. The rivalry reached its peak in March 2019, when both artists released new albums that went to the top of the charts.

How the beef started

It started with a social media post. On March 1, 2020, Lil Baby took to Twitter to call out NBA Youngboy for not putting enough respect on his name. “Boy stop playing wit me on ig live I’ll whoop yo hit a**,” he wrote. “I ain’t no regular 20 year old nigga playing games.”

NBA Youngboy quickly responded with a video in which he claimed that Lil Baby was scared to fight him. “Boy, you said you was gon whoop my hit a**,” he said. “You know I’m from Boutte, Louisiana. Ain’t no hit a**es down there.”

The two have been beefing ever since.

The first diss track

In 2018, the rap beef between Lil Baby and NBA Youngboy began. It all started with a diss track called “Sold Out” by Youngboy, which was a response to a line in one of Lil Baby’s songs. This led to Baby releasing his own diss track called “Backend” and the two have been going back and forth ever since.

The beef has been heating up in recent months, with both artists releasing more diss tracks and taking shots at each other on social media. As of right now, it doesn’t seem like there’s any end in sight for this rivalry.
