NBA YoungBoy has been in high demand ever since getting out and being pardoned by Donald Trump in late May and now, he's fully delivering.

If it wasn't already an NBA YoungBoy takeover in 2025, it sure is now. In just four weeks the Louisiana product will be coming back with a brand-new album. Specifically, it will arrive on July 4, according to the Instagram Story post from the rapper himself.

"Album July 4," YB wrote in big bold lettering. Unfortunately, we don't really have many details outside of the release date. A tracklist, potential features, nor an album cover are available. However, we do have a few singles from NBA YoungBoy as of May 6 that could maybe make the cut.

Those include, "Where I Been," which he dropped just two months after his release from prison. Then, there's "Shot Callin," followed by a two pack of "Top Tingz" and "Finest" that he shared on May 23. But again, we don't have any tracklist yet so who knows what YB is going to do with these records.

But regardless though, this is exciting news for NBA YoungBoy fans and they are letting their happiness out on social media. "Make America Slime Again," one fan writes. "This sh*t finna be sick I’m ready for it ??" another adds.

Going back to that "Make America Slime Again," though that's the name of the prolific MCs next tour. He announced his first-ever headlining trek in the middle of last month and it begins on September 1. However, with this being a monumental moment for his devoted fan base, he decided to add a healthy number of extra dates.

13 were added, to be exact, with a majority of them being in October and early November. Tickets already went on sale, doing so on the 4th of June and extending into the 6th.

But even though the fans are pumped, YB arguably may be even more so. "Get ready the tour, the album, and top says he coming back for wats his.... Labels saying the rap game is down. It's dead.. rapper streams ain't like they use to be. We finna show y'all different!"

50 Cent is happy to get a little shout-out from Taylor Swift. On Friday, hours after Swift released The Life of a Showgirl, the rapper shared his excitement over the pop queen mentioning his name on “Ruin the Friendship,” Track Six on her new album.

“@taylorswift shit is popping right now, she shout me out, she don’t shout you out,” 50 Cent wrote on Instagram alongside the LP’s cover. “LOL THIS IS FOR BIG TIMERS ONLY!”

He added: “Wait I’m the only shout out on the whole album.”

On the song, Swift looks back on a teenage romance and the regret of not kissing someone despite knowing it would’ve been worth the risk. “And it was not an invitation/But as the 50 Cеnt song played/Should’ve kissed you anyway,” she sings on the track looking back at prom night. “And it was not convenient, no/Would’ve been the best mistake/Should’ve kissed you anyway, hey.”

While Swift has not explained the meaning or inspiration behind the song “Ruin the Friendship,” fans have speculated that the track is about Jeffrey Lang, whom Swift has spoken about being close to while they went to Hendersonville High School. Lang died at age 21 in November 2010.

“Yesterday, I sang at the funeral of one of my best friends,” she said at the 2010 BMI Country Music Awards shortly after his death. “And he was 21, and I used to play my songs for him first. So I would like to thank Jeff Lang.”

50 Cent isn’t actually the only shout-out on the album, however. Elsewhere on the record, “Elizabeth Taylor” is titled after the glamorous Hollywood icon of the 1950s, Swift mentions Spanish soccer team Real Madrid on “Wi$h Li$t,” and the star seemingly dedicated an entire song to Charli XCX, titled “Actually Romantic.”
