NBA Youngboy’s feud with his record label Atlantic Records is rife following his recent Instagram post about the company.
The 22-year-old rapper stirred some feathers recently after he returned to Instagram and wrote in a post: “Don’t sign to Atlantic.”
The famed record label has been in business for over 60 years and has recorded music with old-school icons like Aretha Franklin & Led Zeppelin and modern-day crooners such as Bruno Mars & Ed Sheeran.

NBA Youngboy’s feud with Atlantic records explored
This isn’t the first time the rapper has voiced his grievances with his record label.
In February 2022, the artist took his YouTube community post and expressed how he was being ‘blackballed.’ The rapper captioned the post, “Why blackball me, I’m the good guy!!??”
As per Merriam Webster, Blackball means “to vote against or especially: to exclude from membership by casting a negative vote.”
Youngboy wrote in his post, as per DJ Akademiks: “I was going #1 two weeks straight with a mixtape so they took it down off the charts.”
He further wrote: “I don’t give a f**k you still can’t stop me don’t sign to Atlantic if you an artist they not gone support you especially if you live a certain way.”
HITC has reached out to Atlantic Records for a comment on the whole situation but, at the time of publishing, is yet to receive a response.
