Julia Beverly/Getty Images NBA YoungBoy, who in 2025 surpassed E-40 to become the most decorated hip-hop artist in 200 history, sat down for a recent interview and in a revelation that may surprise fans, said that he has “one or two” albums and one tour left in his colossal career. In a special Open Thoughts podcast held in Korea, where YoungBoy now lives, host Funny Marco (known for his deadpan approach) asked if there was ever a time during his early performances that the artist felt like pulling back.
I just kept doing every show. I finished my tour out like that.” The 26-year-old rapper didn’t disclose any further details about the specifics of his condition, but added that the issue hasn’t completely faded. The LP after his August 2025 mixtape Deshawn, hosted by DJ Khaled, further cemented YoungBoy’s reputation for dropping new music at a dizzying speed, having put out at least dozens of other bodies of work (mostly mixtapes) and more than 100 singles.
Earlier in the interview with Marco, when asked how many more albums he had in him, YoungBoy replied, “One or two.” Marco followed up by asking if there were any tours in his future “One for sure,” YoungBoy said. In December 2024, the star pleaded guilty to one count linked to his 2020 gun-possession arrest in Louisiana and a separate count tied to a gun charge filed in Utah. The rapper, born Kentrell Gaulden, was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison with credit for time served dating back to at least May 2024. blogherads.adq.push(function () { blogherads .defineSlot( 'medrec', 'gpt-dsk-tab-article-inbody2-uid1' ) .setTargeting( 'pos', ["mid-article2","mid","in-article2","mid-article","inbody","inbody2"] ) .setTargeting( 'viewable', 'yes' ) .setSubAdUnitPath("music\/article\/inbody2") .addSize([[300,250],[300,251],[620,350],[2,4],[4,2],[3,3],[2,2],[6,6],[620,366]]) .setLazyLoadMultiplier(2) .setClsOptimization("minsize") ; }); Trending Stories Incarcerated for Life in Trump’s War on the Left Why Was It So Hard for Sam Cooke’s Grandkids to Drop a Soul Album?
