NBA YoungBoy picked up the phone to call Lil Boosie, blending congratulations with a green light for new music. On April 23, 2025, Lil Boosie, whose real name is Torence Ivy Hatch Jr., got the call from NBA YoungBoy, also known as Kentrell DeSean Gaulden. The reason? To celebrate the birth of Boosie’s ninth child, a daughter named Sevyn, born just a day earlier on April 22, 2025. But it wasn’t just a friendly chat. NBA YoungBoy also approved the release of a track they’d collaborated on, turning the moment into a double win for the Baton Rouge rapper.
These two Louisiana natives have a history that’s had its ups and downs. Both from Baton Rouge, NBA YoungBoy and Lil Boosie have teamed up before on tracks like “Up in Blood” and “My Lil Son.” Their friendship, though, hasn’t always been smooth.
Back in 2022, NBA YoungBoy dropped “I Hate YoungBoy,” hinting that he felt Boosie wasn’t a fan of his. Boosie fired back with “I Don’t Call Phones I Call Shots,” showing there was some real tension. This recent call, however, feels like a fresh start, a sign they might be moving past old beef.
Lil Boosie couldn’t hide his excitement about the conversation. In a video shared on social media, he said,
“Got a call from YB last night. YB told me I could drop a CD. Man, this shit, man, I’m having a day of my life, man.”
He didn’t stop there, gushing about his newborn,
“My little girl, beautiful. Go good like a mother.”
You could feel the happiness pouring out as he spoke about his family and the music ahead.
This moment matters for more than just these two artists. It’s a big deal for their fans too. Hip-hop can be a tough world, full of rivalries, but this shows artists can still come together for the good stuff, like celebrating life and making music. For NBA YoungBoy, who’s had his share of legal troubles and personal struggles, this call could be a step toward patching things up and keeping things positive.
The track they’re planning to drop is still a bit of a mystery. No title or release date yet, but Boosie hinted it’s close. He mentioned needing to “finish this YB shit” and “cook up now,” suggesting they’re putting the final touches on it. Fans are buzzing, eager to hear what this collaboration will bring.
Family is a big part of this story too. Lil Boosie’s no rookie when it comes to being a dad. With nine kids, he’s often talked about how much family means to him in past interviews. Sevyn, his first child with fiancée Rajel Nelson, is the latest addition, and he’s over the moon to share this joy with his fans and NBA YoungBoy.
