In 2005, Yung Berg worked as a hypeman and recording assistant for Disturbing tha Peace member and Chicago rapper Shawnna. He also appeared in the music video for singer Kat DeLuna's debut single Whine Up.
Yung Berg is one of the the founders of the Yung Boss imprint and production team Yung Bosses, along with JFK and Rob Holladay. In December 2008, Berg began casting "exceptionally stand out beautiful dark skin/brown skin women to showcase beauty of all races" for a potential dating reality show that he would host. However, as evidenced by the trailer for his new TV Show, titled "Back In Business", it will no longer be a dating show.
Yung Berg has previously insulted Miami rapper Brisco on a video podcast. After singer Ne-Yo accused Berg of copying auto-tune vocal style from T-Pain and Lil Wayne, Berg posted a video blog criticizing Ne-Yo.

[Verse 1: Yung Berg]
Yeah, these girls like me cause i show em somethin' icy
Roll somethin' nicely
Make her wanna have a seed, Hope her son looks like me
Uh, can't imagine the things that i'm fightin'
Collipark on the drums, i know you goin' like it
Mix in all in together Watch a hit drop out
See we started from the kitchen, from the bed,
To the couch
Gave her 45 minutes I was In
Then I'm Out
See my mama say i'm lucky
The hood say they love me
These girls (hate the part how i) Put no one above me
See now i'm livin' lovely
My Girl Gotta buddy
But she be trippin out because her girls wanna fuck me
And now we pullin' up, see
Me and the boy Lloyd
Red-bone (Girls)
Lamborghini (Toys)
Take it to the floor, Cause i know how to handle ya
I don't wanna be ya man i wanna be ya manager
[Chorus: Lloyd]
Know i'm hot, let the top down if you burnin' up
Speakers knockin' the block down wen we pullin' up
I see you movin' around on the dance floor
Baby what cha doin' here what cha mad for
Shawty you just don't know what you do to me
Gotta Playa open hopin' you don't make a fool of me
Ya picture frame belongs inside of my camera
I ain't tryin' to be ya boyfriend lemme manage ya (she make me wanna say)
[Bridge]
I ain't tryin' be ya boyfriend lemme manage ya
I ain't tryin' be ya boyfriend lemme manage ya
(You know uou want to)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, it go shawty lemme manage ya
I know how to handle ya
Forget about ur boyfriend mami he's a amateur
There go the paparazzi smile for the camera
Say cheese and throw up the YB's (YB's)
Body Picture perfect

Only for a small fee cause your managed by me
Started with rosette then took it to Don P
Ran outta Don P so we vous
See them other dudes lose cause they ain't smooth like me
They don't coordinate the jewels wit the shoes like me
True Religion Jeans wit a v-neck fee
Make ya best friend say she want a dude like me (Like Me)
So we took em both to the beach (to the beach)
Me and the boy Lloyd (boy Lloyd) Threw em on Jet Skis (Skis)
Then to the suite cause i know how to handle ya

[Chorus: Lloyd]
[Bridge: x2]
I ain't tryin' to be ya boyfriend lemme manage ya
I ain't tryin' to be ya boyfriend lemme manage ya
[Lloyd]
Although i've git bad for ya (its ya boy berg)
I hope u understand that (Lloyd)
I can be ya manager (i ain't tryin' to be ya boyfriend lemme manage ya)
But i can't be yo man, no
The first line of the song, "I ain't tryin' to be ya boyfriend, let me manage ya," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which is about a man who is not interested in a serious relationship with a woman but rather wants to control her life as her manager. Yung Berg expresses his desire to control the woman's image, career, and even who she sees intimately. He flaunts his wealth in front of the woman, offering to help her achieve the same luxuries that he has, but at a cost of her freedom. The song's message is controversial, portraying a relationship dynamic that is both objectifying and controlling.
The song's verses describe the glamorous lifestyle that Yung Berg leads, but they lack substance and focus on superficial things like money, looks, and sex. Meanwhile, the chorus and bridge feature Lloyd singing about wanting to be with the woman but acknowledging his place as a mere bystander, overshadowed by the power dynamic between Yung Berg and the woman. The song is a commentary on the music industry and how women are often viewed solely as objects to be managed and used for financial gain.
