NBA Youngboy’s Controversies
Legal troubles
Since 2016, NBA Youngboy has been arrested and charged several times. His first major arrest came in February 2016 when he was accused of attempted first-degree murder. The charges were later dropped, but he plead guilty to drug and firearm offenses. In October 2016, he was again arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. This time, he was accused of shooting a man outside a Miami hotel. The charges were again dropped, but he did spend time in jail for violating his probation from the previous arrest.
In March 2017, NBA Youngboy was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a man in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The charges were later dropped due to insufficient evidence, but he was still serving time in jail on weapons charges from the previous arrest.
In May 2018, NBA Youngboy was again arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after an altercation with his girlfriend Jania Jackson. He was accused of beating her and striking her head against a wall. The charges were later dropped after Jackson refused to cooperate with prosecutors.

In December 2018, NBA Youngboy was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and assault after an altercation with his girlfriend Jania Jackson. He was accused of holding her against her will and assaulting her while they were staying at a hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. Jackson later told police that she had not been kidnapped or assaulted, and the charges were eventually dropped.
Feuds
NBA Youngboy has been involved in a number of feuds with other rappers. Most notably, he has had beef with Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, and NBA Young Thug.
In 2017, NBA Youngboy and Lil Uzi Vert got into a Twitter beef after NBA Youngboy dissed Lil Uzi Vert’s music. The beef continued when the two rappers released diss tracks aimed at each other. The feud seemed to die down after that, but it was reignited in 2019 when Lil Uzi Vert claimed that NBA Youngboy had stolen his flow.
21 Savage and NBA Youngboy have also been involved in a feud. The two rappers have dissed each other on social media and in their music. In 2018, 21 Savage even went so far as to say that he would “beat the shit” out of NBA Youngboy if he ever saw him.
Finally, NBA Youngboy has also feuded with fellow rapper NBA Young Thug. The two have dissed each other on social media and in their music. The feud seems to have started because NBA Young Thug allegedly stole one of NBA Youngboy’s songs.
Who NBA Youngboy Dissed
NBA Youngboy is a rapper who is known for his feuds with other artists. Recently, he has been involved in a beef with fellow rapper, Lil Uzi Vert. Youngboy took to Instagram to diss Lil Uzi Vert and claimed that he is the best rapper in the game. This has led to a lot of speculation about who NBA Youngboy dissed.
Lil Uzi Vert
In a recently released freestyle, NBA Youngboy takes shots at fellow rapper Lil Uzi Vert. While it’s unclear what sparked the beef between the two, Youngboy seems to be dissing Uzi for his music and fashion choices.
In the freestyle, which was posted on social media, Youngboy raps: “You rap about your diamonds, I rap about my life/You into voodoo, I into making hits/My niggas carry guns, your niggas getting killed.”
He also mocks Uzi’s fashion sense, rapping: “You dress like a clown, I dress to kill/You think you ’bout that action but your ass too real.”
While it’s unclear what exactly led to the diss track, there seems to be some bad blood between the two rappers. It’s possible that the beef started over comments that Uzi made about Youngboy’s girlfriend Jania on social media.
Quando Rondo
In late 2018, Youngboy Never Broke Again and his recurring collaborator, rapper Quando Rondo, had a falling out. The two artists had been working together for over a year and had developed a close friendship, but their relationship abruptly ended after a physical altercation between the two rappers’ entourages.
Following the incident, Youngboy publicly denounced Quando Rondo and the two artists have been dissing each other in their music ever since. In February 2019, Youngboy released the song “Dead Locs” in which he disses Quando Rondo by name. Since then, Quando Rondo has responded with a number of diss tracks of his own, including “I Remembered” and “End of Story.”
Lil Baby
In an Instagram Live video that has since been deleted, NBA Youngboy can be heard speaking about Lil Baby. He says “the whole industry built off my sh*t” and that Lil Baby is “like a fu*king copycat.” He also says that he “changed the whole wave” and that Lil Baby is “still on my d*ck.”
