A viral post on X has ignited discussion after alleging that rapper NBA YoungBoy went live “declaring war” following the shooting of his close associate, NBA Ben 10. The claims, however, remain unverified even as confirmed details about the Houston incident emerge.
The post, shared by an account named Obsrvate, claimed YoungBoy “went live crashing out and declaring war” after NBA Ben 10 was shot in Houston and allegedly left paralyzed.
It also attributed several statements to the rapper, including:
“I’m going to war with the whole Detroit”
“I ain’t dropped a bag since Von got handled…”
“I been riding around here for 3 days”
The post drew strong reactions and speculation online. However, there has been no official confirmation that the video is recent.
