NBA YoungBoy Ignites OTF Feud with Provocative Atlanta Performance of “I HATE YOUNGBOY”
NBA YoungBoy has reignited one of hip-hop’s most volatile rivalries with a shocking onstage moment during his MASA Tour stop at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on October 15, 2025. The Baton Rouge rapper performed his notorious 2022 diss track “I HATE YOUNGBOY” live for the first time—while bringing out Lul Tim, the man previously charged in the 2020 killing of King Von, a close affiliate of Lil Durk’s OTF collective. The move, deliberate and incendiary, touched a nerve in a city still haunted by the incident that fractured two camps and defined an era of rap tension.
Performed in the very city where Von was slain, the diss hit with renewed weight. The track takes direct shots at Lil Durk, King Von, and even Atlanta figures like Gucci Mane and Lil Baby, amplifying the drama surrounding YoungBoy’s long-running feud with OTF. Fans packed into the sold-out arena responded with deafening enthusiasm, waving green bandanas—a symbol of YoungBoy’s Never Broke Again movement—as the rapper delivered every venom-laced bar with defiance.
Yet the backlash was immediate. Critics accused YoungBoy of “taunting” Atlanta and exploiting tragedy for shock value, while online debates reignited over the blurred line between rap theatrics and real-life violence. Within 48 hours, YoungBoy’s second Atlanta show (scheduled for October 18) was abruptly canceled, with speculation mounting that safety concerns and rising tensions played a role.
For YoungBoy—known for walking the razor’s edge between authenticity and provocation—the moment cemented his status as one of hip-hop’s most unpredictable figures. The performance wasn’t just a concert stunt; it was a message. And in the ongoing NBA vs. OTF saga, it may have just restarted the war.
