In a video that took the internet by storm on Monday (May 22), G Herbo displayed his hidden talent by flawlessly imitating NBA YoungBoy. The viral footage captured Herbo mirroring YoungBoy’s signature moves as he lit a cigarette and flawlessly executed an unhinged one-two step, swaying his knees back and forth.
To add to the comedic effect, Herbo chose NBA YoungBoy’s popular track “I Got That Shit” from his latest album, Richest Opp, as the soundtrack for his humorous impression.
While some fans took to social media to express their lighthearted enjoyment of the stunt, others cautioned G Herbo about YoungBoy’s potential response to the comical act. In an Instagram comment, one person wrote, “Now he’s going to be live on the internet from his house, going off on G Herbo,” while another commented, “Nailed it… but now he’s got to prepare for war because we all know YB has a limited sense of humor.”
Despite speculation that G Herbo’s impression may be seen as a diss towards NBA YoungBoy due to his association with fellow Chicago rapper Lil Durk, it’s worth noting that he actually praised the Baton Rouge native in a previous interview on The Bootleg Kev Podcast.
During a discussion about whether artists can be completely blacklisted from the music industry, G Herbo acknowledged YoungBoy’s enduring success, giving credit to his ability to resonate with audiences. He stated, “That’s why YoungBoy still winning,” Herbo said. “People gotta f*** with you. That’s the most anti-industry n***a ever. You gotta give a n***a they credit.”
