YoungBoy Never Broke Again reflected on his difficult upbringing during a new cover story for Billboard.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again reflected on growing up in a group house during his recent cover story for Billboard. Speaking with the outlet, he explained that his path changed drastically when his grandmother died in 2010. At the group home, YoungBoy had a difficult time getting along with the other kids. I used to get beat up inside the group home for no reason, he said while shaking. The other boys would put their hands on me, and I would look up like, Why are you hitting me, bro? Whatd I do? It made me discover another side of me that I never glorified or liked. I found out how to be the person that you dont want to do that with. He added that he never understood all the evilness or wrong because his grandmother had shown him so much love.
