“This sh*t is very watered down,” says Birdman.
In a new clip, Birdman is seen making a pretty heavy request to NBA YoungBoy. The two seem to be on a FaceTime call, during which Birdman claims hip hop isn't doing too well. He urges the 23-year-old to save the genre, explaining to him that, at this point, "this is too watered down." “We need you man,” he tells the young rapper.
"What the f*ck, man?" Birdman continues before reassuring himself. “You gotta save Hip Hop bro. Nephew, gotta save this sh*t homie. Real talk." Thankfully, NBA YoungBoy seems to already have plans for that. "I see it's watered down. I'm going to though," says NBA YoungBoy. The clip was shown on the rapper's Instagram page, alongside what appears to be a teaser for his upcoming album. "Back to it #albumtime," he captioned the post. This wasn't the first time the Cash Money mogul has sung the artist's praises. He has even previously stated that NBA YoungBoy is like family for him.
Birdman Tells NBA YoungBoy "That Sh*t Is Too Watered Down"
In his 2022 Billboard cover story, Birdman reflected on working alongside YoungBoy on their collaborative mixtape, From the Bayou. He revealed that the young artist is like a son to him, noting how he was able to spot his potential right away. “Looking at how quickly he makes music and the value of music, I saw a lot of similarities between him and Wayne,” he explained to the channel. “I saw the stardom in him, but I knew it was a process.”
He went on to describe teaching YoungBoy that he could make a living at his craft. “I was once someone like him,” shared Birdman, “and I had to risk my life.” He continued, “I wanted to show him that he really could make ends meet with his talent. You can go to jail, or you can die, or you can try to be somebody.”
