Usually, when these charts are released, NBA Youngboy’s name sits comfortably on top everybody else but this week, he drops down to #2. Last week, the Baton Rouge rapper clocked in 46.7 million views while Lil Baby managed to earn 51.2 million.
The only other person that got relatively close to beating YB was Future, who finished with 3 million fewer views than the 20-year-old.
Considering Lil Baby’s growth to a superstar level this year, he may actually remain on top for a while. Especially since Youngboy Never Broke Again announced his hiatus from music.
