NBA Youngboy explains why collab project with Rod Wave won’t happen

Youngboy holds Rod Wave in high regards

NBA Youngboy believes Rod Wave is a great artist, but he has his reservations when it comes to the prospect of collaborating on a joint project with the Florida rapper.

During an exchange with the Bootleg Kev, Youngboy said as much as he admires Rod, he can’t drop a project with him since the former and latter have dark and bright images respectively, and he doesn’t want to leave a stain on Rod’s career.

“That’s somebody who will be forever winning in the game,” Youngboy said of Rod. “I think he love what he do. I think he’s so positive. I think he’s so taking in to the people of how he feel.”

Speaking on whether he could make a joint album with Rod, YB continued, “I think that would be a setback for him. My image fucked up. I think I gotta stay in my own lane.”

Charlamagne Tha God responds to NBA Youngboy’s diss track, says he’s not going to ‘Grave Digga Mountain if it ain’t Halloween’

Charlamagne and Youngboy find themselves in a face off

Charlamagne Tha God triggered NBA Youngboy’s rage when he called the Baton Rouge rapper “donkey of the day” after he said he’s not too good of a father despite having 11 kids.

Youngboy didn’t take long to retaliate, dropping “Act A Donkey” diss song, targeting the radio host. “Tell Charlamagne he invited to Grave Digger Mountain/ All he gotta do is pull up on me, n-gga, and talk to me face to face/ So I could bat you in your shit and hit you with this Drac,” YB raps.

“The young brother said he’s not big on fatherhood. We all should be big on fatherhood,” Charlamagne said in response during his show on Tuesday (January 16). “But he’s 24 years old, so his prefrontal cortex hasn’t even fully developed yet. He’ll start thinking more rationally once he turns 25, maybe. But I respect the fact he had real livestock in the video.”

He added, “That’s the beauty of being 45 and being born in 1978. Number one, I ain’t going to no place called Grave Digger Mountain. The hell I’m doing on Grave Digger Mountain if it ain’t Halloween?”

He added, “I glanced at them [nature shows on Netflix] a couple of times, because it’s really intriguing. […] I had a bobcat jump out at us one day. That bitch tried to get into the cab [of his vehicle] now. That bitch really tried to run into it. It was me and Lil Dump… I looked to see where it went… I wanted to see if it was coming out the bus.”
