Kentrell DeSean Gaulden [October 20, 1999] known professionally as YoungBoy Never Broke Again or NBA YoungBoy, is an American rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States.
Early Life[]
Gaulden was born on October 20, 1999 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. As a toddler while wrestling Gaulden broke his neck and had to recover from his wound leaving permanent scars on his head. YoungBoy met OG 3three who is his manager and his close friend. They recorded music together and brought a microphone from Walmart. He moved in with them after his grandmother died from heart failure in 2010.
He would later meet Da Real Gee Money and Fredo Bang who he saw as big brothers. Gee Money would later accuse YoungBoy of stealing from him forever tainting their friendship. He later admitted to this after Gee’s death, but it hurt him to be accused, because in his words you never supposed to question your brother.
In 2016 YoungBoy released the mixtape 38 Baby which would give him spotlight in the rap game. He released a mixtape that year. Around November 2016 YoungBoy was involved in a shooting with Never broke again which was revenge for Boozilla's murder which was set up by Dusa. A month later he was arrested at a Texas show for a warrant and was incarcerated for months facing life imprisonment until 2017. The judge had sympathy, because Gaulden had so many children at such a young age.
When he was released he released a song named untouchable which blew him up more and released no smoke and features with Lil Durk and Kodak black.
TBG[]
After he got his buzz, he decided to separate from TBG because of growing tension with Gee Money. TBG would later throw shots at him for leaving the camp. YoungBoy would later retaliate to these shots with violent threats toward his former crew. YoungBoy would drop “War With Us” ending all existing ties to TBG. Gee Money would later drop “Industry” exposing YoungBoy. In the song he states “you Sherhonda son I can’t kill you”. It was clear Gee Money still had love in his heart for YoungBoy and did not want to see him killed. However, he made a fatal mistake, he would go on a SayCheese interview and explain the situation and why YoungBoy was mad stating he has intercourse with YoungBoys sister.
