Regardless if you’re a fan of his work or not, it’s hard to deny the star power of 22-year-old NBA YoungBoy. At such a young age, the Colors rapper has lived a life that most can only dream about, and today, on March 27th, it seems that he’s reportedly broken a historic hip-hop record previously held by none other than the late, great Biggie Smalls.
The rumours have sparked plenty of debate online amongst fans. “And Biggie still gonna get more respect at the end of the day,” one person replied to the initial post, prompting someone else to shoot back with, “At this rate when it’s all said and done YB will be bigger than Tupac and Biggie if he stay out of trouble and alive in the next couple of years.”
“B.I.G. did it without streams and YouTube views,” another user said. “Doesn’t that make YB look even better?” a reader responded. “Saying that he’s the first to do it in this era of streaming out of any other artist/rapper at the young age of 22.”
On March 9th, a tweet from @HipHopAllDay alleged that, at the time, YB had just beaten out Young Thug and Cardi B, making him “the rapper with the 21st most weeks in history at just 22 years old.”
NBA Youngboy has now overtaken both Young Thug & Cardi B in total Billboard weeks after this weeks update. He is the rapper with the 21st most weeks in history at just 22 years old…

Exactly! It’s easy to get streams when you dont change up nun. Keep giving them same few beat patterns (NOT THE SAME BEAT for the slow mfs) that your fans like to dance to. Youngboy is a person who raps to dance music about the life people admire but can’t live themselves.👨🏾or👨🏻
