Rapper NBA YoungBoy confirms no US return after Korea move
A famous rapper named NBA YoungBoy has moved to a new country called South Korea.
South Korea is very far from the United States, where he used to live.
He said he likes living there because it is very safe and very clean.
NBA YoungBoy is 26 years old and has at least 11 children.
He said the most important thing to him is probably his kids, but he can visit them by plane.
He makes music, and he says he will release one or two more albums.
He also wants to go on one more tour, and after that he plans to stop.
When someone asked if he would ever return to the United States, he answered, 'Never in life.'
He said he never got the chance to travel before, so he wants to enjoy visiting new places.
Now he plans to stay in South Korea for good.
NBA YoungBoy confirmed in an interview with Funny Marco that he has no plans to return to the US, saying 'Never in life.'
The rapper made his first visit to South Korea his new home, describing it as 'very safe here and clean' and 'out the way.'
The 26-year-old, a father to at least 11 children with eight women, said he has one to two albums and one more tour left in him.
In 2020 he topped the Billboard 200 three times in one year, the first rapper to do so, and repeated it in 2021 with 'Sincerely, Kentrell,' joining Tupac Shakur and Lil Wayne as the only artists to hit number one while incarcerated.
He was found not guilty in a Los Angeles firearm case but guilty in a Baton Rouge case, receiving 23 months in prison and 60 months of probation.
