The singer NBA YoungBoy shared a very brief video with a caption which was, ‘Did u ever know a slime weep? Prepare yourself.’ The term ‘slime’ is one that the artist and his fans in the circle frequently use to denote affection and solidarity. The video that was posted along with the caption showed the rapper manipulating what looked like a gun and this got the attention of the social media platforms instantly.
The reactions of the fans to the post were mixed and came in quickly. One of the users remarked, ‘He Back Clutching dat Iron😁It’s Up💫,’ in connection with the gun display. This remark was the beginning for a whole thread of replies, with another person even saying, ‘his ass going BACK to jail too😂😂,’ which was about YoungBoy’s long-standing courtroom issues. Someone else was asking about the situation with the law, saying, ‘them pole flashes gone get him 🔒’ while others were reminding that the rapper was given a presidential pardon in 2024 for an incident involving a firearm.
One of the comments also talked about the music and a user commenting, ‘Nigga pulled out that fye outta nowhere 😂🐐.’ This remark was the start of a trail of replies discussing about the quality of the new music, where one person argued, ‘first one clears,’ and another opposing by saying, ‘second one better not even close.’ The competition of which sample was better went throughout the comments.
The teaser was very powerful emotionally for some fans. One user replied to the rapper’s mention of the slime crying, saying, ‘Nga you the one made me cry wtf you mean “you ever heard a slime cry?”‘ This comment got a lot of reactions from mainly emoji of laughter from other users who were able to relate to the response.
The dropping of new music was the main topic of talk through the whole discussion. One of the comments claimed, ‘The album worth the wait😂🔥🔥🔥,’ and another one more or less said, ‘might aswell drop tn 5️⃣,’ where 5 is an extremely important number in YoungBoy’s brand. This comment sparked a conversation about the release date with one of the commenters saying the artist should be the one to choose: ‘no he dropped when he ready and in his time not y’all’s buddy.’
There were many comments supporting the artist unconditionally. ‘You the greatest to ever do it,’ one user claimed, and the user was also criticized by others for his comment who called it overly flattering. Another one just put it, ‘We all bumpin this all night drop it Top💚,’ making reference to the rapper’s nickname as well as his color preference.
On the other hand, the legal problems of NBA YoungBoy have always been a subject of discussion among his fans. The rapper racked up a long list of criminal charges during his career, yet he was granted a presidential pardon in 2024 which cleared his federal gun charges. This context played a role in shaping the views about the video of the content, as the supporters pointed to his cleared status, while the detractors were questioning the soundness of displaying guns because of his legal entanglements.
The artist being referred to still has one of the most devoted fan bases in the hip-hop world today. The short but potent teaser suggests that he is going back to the melody style that made him famous but without sacrificing his raw authenticity which is a hallmark of his artistry. Birdman has previously shown support for the artist’s career.

It appears that with the fire of new music just around the corner, the rapper has already pulled off the trick of making his fans curious and having them wait for what is next in his ever-changing and evolving career. The response he gets shows that even after years of being in the limelight, NBA YoungBoy still has the power to attract the attention of the world with every little thing he does.
