Fans showed him overwhelming support.

One of the fastest-rising rappers of the late 2010s, YBN Nahmir, admits that he has some personal demons to face. Seeing tons of success so early into your life is exciting but it comes with a lot of extra responsibility. It is all about how you handle it, especially when you are constantly in the public eye. For YBN it all came when he was just 16-17 years old. His 2017 viral hit, "Rubbin off the Paint," won many fans over. At the time of writing this, the song has over 344 million streams on Spotify and is in his top five most popular tracks.

It set up the foundation for Nahmir's career. However, around 2020, things began to unravel a bit for him and the YBN group. According to AllHipHop, Cordae dropped the name around that time. Additionally, Nahmir and Almighty Jay butted heads a year later. Then, in 2022, he revealed that he was battling a tough fight with alcoholism. Now, he is looking to turn his life around by heading to rehab.

YBN Nahmir Asks For Prayers And Support

YBN Nahmir tweeted last night (October 29), "Rehab soon. Understanding your addiction & admitting to it is the 1st step. Pray for me on this hard journey." There is currently no word on what facility he will be heading to. What is important right now though is to wish him well on his path to recovery. Plenty of supporters did just that under this tweet above. One says, "Praying for you, bro bro fr fr GOD IS GREAT!" Another adds, "I LOVE YOU NAHMIR!!!"
