Fans of NBA YoungBoy have become increasingly concerned with the rapper after he unveiled a new tattoo. The large piece, running from his clavicle to his pecs, is simply the word "HELP" written in bold block capitals. Fans are unsure of the tattoo's meaning and now are worried that the rapper may be in distress. YoungBoy has been under house arrest for several years now. However, the restrictions of that arrest were loosened earlier this year. The rapper is now allowed to have a few more visitors to his home and can do so without a curfew.
However, this isn't the first time that fans have been worried about YoungBoy. Almost everything that the rapper posts or releases is interpreted as some sort of covert cry for help. Granted, this one is a literal cry for help. Regardless, this reaction isn't exactly new from his fanbase. However, YoungBoy nor anyone close to him has released a statement explaining the tattoo or highlighting that the rapper is under any kind of duress at the moment.
While he was not directly involved, YoungBoy did get something of a hilarious co-sign earlier this week. While making content, Blueface learned that his son doesn't know any of his music. "You don't know one song?" he asked him, to which the boy responded, "no." A shocked Blueface then grabbed his son as he tried to come to terms with the revelation.
"So when you sleeping you sing NBA YoungBoy's song, but you don't know your daddy's song," he asks Javaughn. "No," the boy replied, again. It's a wild and hilarious shoutout for YoungBoy, even though it's something of a crushing blow to Blueface. Not that the controversial Chicago rapper deserves much sympathy given how he treats Jayden Alexis and Chrisean Rock but we digress. Elsewhere, Birdman recently begged YoungBoy to save hip hop. "You gotta save Hip Hop, bruh. Nephew, gotta save this shit bruh. Real talk," Birdman told the 23-year-old during a FaceTime.
10cc drummer Paul Burgess has announced that he is leaving the band because the demands of touring have become too much for him.
The 75-year-old musician, who also spent time performing with Jethro Tull, Camel, Magna Carta, and The Icicle Works, has chosen to walk away from the legendary rock group after more than five decades.
He shared: “After so many wonderful years with 10cc, I must admit that the rigours of touring are no longer manageable for me as I get older, and I feel it’s time to let go of the long hours in airports and endless travel on buses.
“I’m not planning to stop playing altogether. I will still perform but at a pace that feels right, working alongside old friends and a new group of fellow musicians called The Guilty Men.”
Frontman Graham Gouldman confessed that it will feel unusual to perform without his “longest-running musical associate.”
He explained: “When Paul and I first joined forces in 10cc, we never could have imagined that we’d still be at it after 30 years, let alone 52.
“Paul has been my longest musical partner and it will feel different to turn around and see another drummer, but I completely understand why he no longer wants to sit on a plane for 14 hours or wake up in a new hotel every day for weeks at a time.”
Ben Stone, who has previously played with Mike and The Mechanics and Bonnie Tyler, will be taking over on drums.
Paul, who had several runs with 10cc after joining in 1973, performed his final show with the I’m Not In Love band in Alexandria, Virginia this past September.
The group is set to continue their And Another Bloody Greatest Hits Tour in the UK next year.
