Many believe that YB's recent Twitter shots were aimed at Durk, who himself threatened to drop a single on YB's release date in the eyes of fans.

NBA YoungBoy just sent out some shots on Twitter allegedly aimed at Lil Durk. Moreover, Durkio posted some messages about an upcoming single to his Instagram Story that many believe took aim at YB. In fact, he announced his next album Don't Try This At Home will release some time in April. As such, many believe that Durk's message of "f***ing up" someone's release date might refer to the Louisiana rapper. However, most people interpreted as a shot to Quando Rondo's upcoming release, who's a close collaborator of YoungBoy's.

Still, the Top rapper's words seemed particularly pointed at The Voice. "Kiss my a** b***h see me in the streets," he wrote on Thursday (March 2). "Old a** think he slick stop watching me fanned out a** n***a." While their beef is highly publicized and well-documented, social media antics often fall victim to a lot of speculation and misinformation. As such, take this news with a grain of salt, as Durk's Stories are no longer up on his page. Having said that, that feud is a context through which you could interpret pretty much anything the two rappers say. You might even go so far as to say that it's as important for promotion and buzz as any media partnership or promo material.

NBA YoungBoy Seemingly Fires At Lil Durk

Nevertheless, YB hinted at turning over a new leaf recently. During a highly rare Billboard interview, the Baton Rouge MC detailed his changing perspective on his often violent lyrics. “I’m at a point now in my life where I just know hurting people is not the way, and I feel very manipulated, even at this moment,” he expressed. “I was set on being the greatest at what I did and what I spoke about. Man, I was flooded with millions of dollars from the time I was 16 all the way to this point, and I woke up one morning like, ‘Damn. They got me. They made me do their dirty work.’ Man, look at the s**t I put in these people’s ears.”

Meanwhile, not all hope is lost for those who'd love to see YB and Durk on a song together. After all, the former seemingly squashed his beef with Kodak Black via a FaceTime call. With his new reflections on his career and opening himself up to more vulnerable conversations, maybe we'll see the YouTube views kingpin evolve into something greater. Until then and afterwards, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest on YoungBoy.
