The rapper says he likes to wear black makeup because it makes him feel like a rockstar.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again is trying out a new look, rocking some Kiss-like makeup in his latest music video. The rapper has gone viral with his make-up look, painting his face lighter and wearing dark, black shadow around his eyes, with black lipstick. The rap superstar explained that he's being himself when he wears makeup, saying, "Just, I don't know. I feel comfortable that way. It give me like, the goth feeling, like rockstars."

His switch-up has earned mixed reactions. YoungBoy is one of the most established rappers right now and he has a large fanbase that will love anything he does -- that crowd is saying that if YB is making visits to MAC Cosmetics, then they will too. The other side of the hip-hop community isn't feeling this look though and they're bashing him quite vocally, taking to social media to not-so-kindly request the rapper throw away all of his make-up products.


YoungBoy isn't the first hip-hop artist to experiment with gender norms and stereotypes by wearing make-up or women's clothing. Kid Cudi, Jaden Smith, Young Thug, and many others have all done so before the 22-year-old, who seems to be at the beginning of his experimentation stage.

Check out some reactions to YoungBoy's goth look below and let us know in the comments if you're liking it.
