NBA YoungBoy has tied with both Drake and Future after his latest album, Richest Opp's, sales landed him a spot having the third most Billboard 200 top 10 albums among rappers in U.S. history. Richest Opp saw 51,000 album-equivalent units sold in it's first week, debuting at number four on this week's chart. YoungBoy now has 15 Billboard 200 top 10 albums, also sharing his record with the likes of fellow rappers Drake and Future. The only rappers to surpass the record are Nas and Jay-Z, who both have 16 top 10 albums.
Earlier this month, YoungBoy was also named the youngest rapper ever to reach 100 entries on Billboard's Hot 100. He joined artists like Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Drake, Lil Wayne, and more, becoming the 13th artist to chart 100+ songs on the Hot 100.
NBA YoungBoy Has 15 Top 10 Albums
Richest Opp followed YoungBoy's April release of Don't Try This at Home. Earlier this month, he revealed his latest album's tracklist to fans. After fellow rapper Lil Durk announced that he'd be releasing a new album, YoungBoy took to social media to announce that he'd be dropping his LP on the same day. This led to a feud between the rappers.
YoungBoy also recently beefed with Soulja Boy about the release date of his latest album. After revealing that he'd put out Richest Opp on the same day as Lil Durk, Soulja Boy expressed that he was also upset about the release on social media. He said, "I’m finna outsell Lil Durk and YoungBoy at the same time,” adding “This my date.” He then went on to say, “P*ssy-a*s n*gga, you seen me announce my muthaf*ckin’ album and the next day you announced your album. So, guess what? You lame, n*gga.” When YoungBoy later responded by telling him "It's gone be nice to meet you," Soulja Boy went off again. He said, “You can’t wait to meet what? Bot, what the f*ck you said?" Continuing, Soulja claimed, “Boy, you don’t want to meet me," adding, "This shit ain’t sweet. This ain’t no meet-and-greet."
