NBA Youngboy's recent interview with DJ Akademiks has been making headlines all week.

The 22-year-old revealed that he has a crush on Doja Cat during the interview and said he would rather work with Tekashi 6ix9ine than other rappers in the industry.

Now, a piece of the interview surfaced where Youngboy compared having a record deal to being a slave.

“We don’t get what we deserve,” said Youngboy. “Say you make 300ms ... You ain’t probably gonna see sh*t but 20 or 30ms. Probably not even that ... I ain’t never got no $10 million check from Atlantic.”

What do you think about Youngboy comparing being a signed artist to being a slave?
