The industry tried to play him, but the streets know the truth. 🤫 Check out how Atlantic Records finessed NBA Youngboy out of a $300M bag and why he risked it all to go independent.
Baton Rouge’s own Kentrell Gaulden (NBA Youngboy) came from the trenches to become the biggest thing on YouTube, but behind the scenes, he was locked in a contract that felt more like a trap. In this video, we’re breaking down the “modern-day slavery” deal that had YB fightin’ for his freedom.
We’re diving deep into:
The original 5-album deal that turned into 22 projects.
How the “advance” system keeps artists in debt.
Why he turned down a $25M check just to leave the label.
The “blackball” tactics the industry uses when you speak up.
This ain’t just rap—this is a lesson on ownership and knowin’ your worth. If you’re an artist or just a fan of the movement, you need to see how the game is really played.
