Rapper NBA YoungBoy (Kentrell Gaulden) has shared bleak new posts on X that left many fans worried about his state of mind. The short notes speak on feeling empty despite success and hint at a wish to die after releasing his next album.
In one post from 2 December, he wrote, “My life literally perfect, im just not happy.” The message spread fast and drew thousands of replies within hours. Some fans linked the mood to an earlier viral YoungBoy and Lil Wayne debate, where people argued over his place in rap.
A second post from the same handle sounded more alarming. YoungBoy told fans, “I want drop the album then die.” He added that listeners “will never find another,” which many read as a farewell tone rather than normal promo talk.
Rap star shares dark notes on “perfect” life
The messages came even as the rapper’s career stays strong. He still pulls huge streaming numbers and commands a loyal base across platforms. That sharp contrast between success and sadness formed a core part of the online talk.
Supporters said the posts show that money and fame cannot simply fix deep pain. Several users urged others not to mock the notes or treat them as a stunt. They stressed that such lines should push people to check on loved ones more.
Others argued that stars often speak in dramatic ways to sell music. They pointed out that album rollouts now blend shock lines with art and tease. Still, many replies said this case felt heavier than a normal campaign.
Fans call for care and support
Under each post, fans begged YoungBoy to seek help and stay safe. Some wrote that his words helped them during hard times and they did not want to lose him. A few shared hotline numbers and local contacts for people who feel the same way.
Observers also asked the rapper’s label and close friends to step in. They tagged pages linked to his crew and pushed them to check on him offline. That call echoed wider music talk this year about stress, fame, and real care for artists.
Similar worries have surfaced with other big names in rap. Recent charts stories, like our piece on Kendrick Lamar Grammy lead story, show how busy top artists stay under bright lights. Fans say that pace can make it hard for stars to slow down and speak about pain in safe spaces.
Mental health groups often remind the public not to ignore posts that hint at self harm. They say it is better to reach out in a kind way than to assume a person only wants drama. They also warn against sharing harsh jokes under such messages.
For now, YoungBoy has not shared a clear follow up on these notes. There is no public word yet from his label or team about the posts. Many fans continue to watch his page and hope his next update brings a calmer tone.
Anyone who feels like him is urged to talk to someone they trust and seek local support. Help from family, friends, faith leaders, or trained counsellors can make a big difference. Online praise alone cannot replace real help in hard moments.
