YoungBoy started writing and making music around the age of fourteen, eventually dropping his first mixtape Life Before Fame in April of 2015.
YoungBoy started to gain recognition when he dropped his projects Mind Of A Menace 3, Before I Go, and 38 Baby, but gained the most recognition for his hit song “38 Baby.”
Shortly after the success of “38 Baby” Young Boy was arrested on November 28, 2016, and was charged with two counts of attempted second-degree murder in connection with a drive-by shooting which occurred November 7, 2016. YoungBoy ended up being sentenced to a ten-year suspended prison sentence after serving six months in prison.
After YoungBoy was released from jail, he dropped “Untouchable” which is one of his biggest hits to date. Following the release of “Untouchable,” YoungBoy released AI YoungBoy on August 4, 2017.
Later on, in 2017 YoungBoy ended the year by dropping Ain’t Too Long and started 2018 by releasing his debut studio album, Until Death Call My Name.
Nowadays YoungBoy has come up with more famous tracks such as “Drawing Symbols,” “Lil Top,” “House Arrest Tingz” and “Around”. These have appeared on albums as AI Youngboy II, Still Flexin', Still Steppin' and Top.
On March 25, 2021, the rapper was taken into custody by the FBI on an outstanding federal warrant for drug and weapon charges which date back to 2016. While locked up, YoungBoy’s team released the rapper’s third studio album, Sincerely, Kentrell, on September 24, 2021: it was originally set to be released in May of the same year. Nearly a month after, on October 22, YoungBoy was released from jail on a $500K bond and is currently placed on house arrest in Utah.
Ending 2021, YoungBoy partnered with the fellow Louisiana native, Birdman to present the two artists' joint mixtape, From The Bayou which would peak at #19 on the Billboard 200.
Beginning 2022 to a ferocious start, YoungBoy would begin to diss King Von on songs such as “Bring The Hook,” and “Fish Scale.” These songs would soon appear on YoungBoy’s eighteenth mixtape, Colors which would later peak at #2 on the Billboard 200.
Later in the year, just a month afterward, YoungBoy would find himself in a viral controversy with the Chicago native, Lil Durk as both of them exchanged brutal disses from Durk’s “AHHH HA,” to YoungBoy’s “I Hate YoungBoy” — both regarding the death of King Von.
Following his hastily start to 2022, YoungBoy would partner up with DaBaby to present the duo’s joint mixtape, BETTER THAN YOU in March. The mixtape would later peak at #10 on the Billboard 200, this would mark YoungBoy’s ninth top ten.
On April 1, 2022, continuing his victorious run, YoungBoy would release The Last Slimeto Sampler, a sample album for his August release, The Last Slimeto. This album would mark YoungBoy’s final album with Atlantic Records.
On July 15, 2022, YoungBoy was found not guilty of his federal guns charge. In a interview on Instagram, YoungBoy announced that he and his team were planning to go on tour.
As planned, on August 5, 2022, YoungBoy released The Last Slimeto which would mark his last album with Atlantic Records, completing the contract. The album would also peak at #1 on the Billboard 200 marking his fifth #1 album. The project would also break a tie with Taylor Swift as it scored a #1 album in each of the past four years.
On September 6, 2022, YoungBoy released Realer 2 as a surprise release, it is presented as a sequel to his December 2018, Realer. Just over a month following the release of Realer 2, YoungBoy released the Juvenile-influenced mixtape, 3800 Degrees which would peak at #12 on the Billboard 200. Two weeks prior to the release of 3800 Degrees, YoungBoy would release yet another mixtape hosted by DJ Drama as a part of his Gangsta Grillz series titled Ma’ I Got A Family.
Through Billboard, on October 24, 2022, it was announced that following YoungBoy’s departure from Atlantic Records, beginning 2023, he would release music under a joint venture deal between his own Never Broke Again and Motown Records.

(Ayy, Cameron, you the man now)
I woke up I ain't see nobody in my bed, in my bed
After all that I love you
You ain't say what I did, tell me what I did
Fuck that Rolls Royce, ooh
I just wanna say I apologize
For all of the things I put you through
Baby, I then ran that money all up
These hoes mistreated me and baby you can't fault them, no, no
Tell my why you left me on my own, oh
Them hitters comin', just ring the alarm, let's go
Anger ran them all off, feelings made them just go
Life on line in the North and I'm sittin' here mad 'bout a ho
Who been chosin' it with me and I can't sit and just watch
I wasted time don't give a fuck 'bout no clock
These diamonds crushed, they just rocks
That's a Double-R, Rolls Royce, Range Rover
really rich, Rockstar, high as fuck, hangover
Let you come and fuck me 'til my pain over
Okay, respect that girl so much don't won't no mothafuckin' brain from her
Lean, lean, codeine and my child
That's all I want that's all I need
And plus some money and my Glock
Passport get overseas, I can buy another foreign car
Can buy a bitch to feed my needs
Can't buy another slime heart
I woke up ain't see nobody in my bed, in my bed
After all that I love you
You ain't say what I did, tell me what I did
It's a panoramic four-seater
Never let me go, I leave my hoes 'cause I don't need 'em
Starin' in your eyes tryna see potential like a soul seeker
Lyin' in my eyes sayin' you love me, you a cold creature
Fuck that shit you said, just leave 'cause I don't need you
I'm gon' let that other nigga treat you
My song playin' loud through the speakers
Where you decide for the party at (where you decide for the party at)
Leavin' you never crossed my mind
You wrong if you ever thought of that
Now you call, I ain't ever callin' back
I'm stayin' strong now don't worry 'bout me
The things that you did, I'll never forget
If you keep it real you can get the world out me
We can share it all to me it don't mean shit
Fuck that Rolls Royce, ooh
I just wanna lose this cold heart, ooh
I just wanna say I apologize
For all of the things I put you through
Baby, I then ran that money all up
These hoes mistreated me and baby you can't fault them, no, no
Tell my why you left me on my own, oh
Them hitters comin', just ring the alarm, let's go
In "Sincerely", YoungBoy Never Broke Again reflects on a past relationship that has ended badly. The first verse starts with him waking up alone and wondering why his partner left him. He then apologizes for his past behavior and acknowledges that he has made mistakes. He mentions how he has become wealthy but remains alone and heartbroken. The chorus repeats this theme of searching for love but being left alone, and the second verse is about the difficulty of finding genuine love when surrounded by materialism and superficiality. Throughout the song, YoungBoy expresses a sense of loneliness and frustration with relationships.
The lyrics suggest that the rapper is grappling with the emotional consequences of his actions but has not fully understood or taken responsibility for them. He seems to be searching for closure and meaning in his life but is struggling with trust and connection. The theme of searching for love and connection while dealing with fame and wealth is a common one in rap music, and "Sincerely" is a powerful example of this dynamic.

I woke up I ain't see nobody in my bed, in my bed
I woke up alone and realized that you had left me
After all that I love you
Despite everything that's happened between us, I still love you
You ain't say what I did, tell me what I did
You never told me why you left me, please tell me what I did wrong

I want to apologize for everything that I've put you through
For all of the things I put you through
I know I hurt you and I'm sorry
Baby, I then ran that money all up
I focused on making money after you left me
These hoes mistreated me and baby you can't fault them, no, no
Other women mistreated me, but it's not your fault
Tell my why you left me on my own, oh
Please tell me why you left me alone
Them hitters comin', just ring the alarm, let's go
I'm ready to face any danger that comes my way
Anger ran them all off, feelings made them just go
I pushed people away with my anger, and my emotional detachment made them leave
Life on line in the North and I'm sittin' here mad 'bout a ho
I'm risking my life every day but still upset over a girl
Who been chosin' it with me and I can't sit and just watch
You chose to be with me and I won't just stand by and do nothing
I wasted time don't give a fuck 'bout no clock
I spent time recklessly and I don't care about the consequences
These diamonds crushed, they just rocks
Material possessions don't bring me happiness
That's a Double-R, Rolls Royce, Range Rover
I have expensive cars like Rolls Royce and Range Rover
really rich, Rockstar, high as fuck, hangover
I'm wealthy, live like a rockstar, get high and have hangovers
Let you come and fuck me 'til my pain over
I thought that sleeping with you would help me forget my pain
Okay, respect that girl so much don't won't no mothafuckin' brain from her
I respect you too much to treat you like a sexual object
Lean, lean, codeine and my child
I only want lean (a type of drug with codeine) and my child (my son or daughter)
That's all I want that's all I need
I don't need anything else but lean and my child
And plus some money and my Glock
I also need money and my gun (Glock)
Passport get overseas, I can buy another foreign car
I have a passport to travel overseas and I can buy another expensive car
Can buy a bitch to feed my needs
I can buy a woman to fulfill my desires
Can't buy another slime heart
But I can't buy another kind heart like yours
It's a panoramic four-seater
The car I drive is a panoramic four-seater
Never let me go, I leave my hoes 'cause I don't need 'em
But I don't care about leaving other women because I don't need them
Starin' in your eyes tryna see potential like a soul seeker
I'm looking into your eyes trying to see if we have a future together
Lyin' in my eyes sayin' you love me, you a cold creature
But you lied to me when you said you love me, you're a heartless person
Fuck that shit you said, just leave cause I don't need you
I don't care about what you said, just leave because I don't need you
I'm gon' let that other nigga treat you
I'm going to let another man treat you better than I did
My song playin' loud through the speakers
My music is playing loud through the artists
Where you decide for the party at (where you decide for the party at)
Where do you want to go for the party?
Leavin' you never crossed my mind
I never thought about leaving you
You wrong if you ever thought of that
You were wrong if you ever thought that I would leave you
Now you call, I ain't ever callin' back
You call me now, but I'm never calling you back
I'm stayin' strong now don't worry 'bout me
I'm staying strong now, don't worry about me
The things that you did, I'll never forget
I'll never forget the things you did to me
If you keep it real you can get the world out me
If you're honest with me, I'll give you everything I have
We can share it all to me it don't mean shit
We can share everything, but it doesn't mean anything to me
