AceShowbiz - NBA YoungBoy a.k.a. YoungBoy Never Broke Again has made his name in the hip-hop scene with his unique style and he doesn't like to be compared to another artist in the genre. The Baton Rogue spitter has scoffed at a comparison that puts him on the same level of Drake.
On Monday night, November 21, the 23-year-old made an appearance on Instagram Live with his booking agent, MAC Agency CEO Andrew Lieber. During the broadcast that attracted more than 200,000 viewers in less than a minute, Andrew commended YoungBoy by claiming that he and Drizzy are the only artists at the top of the hip-hop totem pole currently.
"It's just you and Drake at the top, baby!" said Andrew, who also represents the likes of DaBaby, Polo G and Moneybagg Yo. While most people would take that as a compliment, YoungBoy wasn't happy at the suggestion that he and Drake are on the same level. Furrowing his brow, he sarcastically asked, "Who?"
"Yeah, exactly. You and Drake, that's it," Andrew repeated himself, to which the "Last Slimeto" rapper replied, "I thought you was my friend, Drew," seemingly still miffed at the booking agent's comment.
YoungBoy is indeed trailing close behind Drake with his latest feats. The "Outside Today" hitmaker is currently the second most-streamed artist of the year for any genre with 5.4 billion streams in the U.S. Drake is the only artist with more, getting over 6.7 billion streams.
In other news, YoungBoy has given back to the community ahead of Thanksgiving. The star, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, has given out 500 free turkeys as well as a free Thanksgiving buffet at Boil & Roux in Louisiana's capital, according to local news outlet WBRZ. He reportedly teamed up with NAACP for the giveaway, which took place on Monday from 11 A.M. to 2 P.M.
