  • NBA YoungBoy Accused of Copying Roddy Ricch's Debut Album Cover Art

    However, there are also some people who come to YB’s defense as they point out that ‘The Box’ hitmaker isn’t the first one to create a black-and-white album cover.
    Aug 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – NBA YoungBoy a.k.a. YoungBoy Never Broke Again is gearing up for the release of his new album. Before the effort hits the stores, the hip-hop star shared on social media the cover art for the record, only to spark chatter among social media users as many of them thought that it looked very similar to Roddy Ricch’s debut album cover art.
    The artwork for YB’s new album “TOP” showed him standing against a plain background as he donned a black shirt with a chain necklace. Fans pointed out that his pose looked oddly similar to Ricch’s pose in his “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” artwork, not to mention that both rappers were shown from the chest up in their respective artworks.
    Not a few started criticizing YB following this realization. Someone called him “lame,” adding that he “really took Roddy Ricch whole album cover.” Meanwhile, an individual quipped, “NBA Youngboy : Can I copy your paper?’ Roddy Rich : Yeah just change it up a bit so it’s not obvious.” One other said, “Roddy Ricch when he saw the album cover for Nba Youngboy new album,” along with a video Soulja Boy dissing Drake, “He copied my whole f***ing flow, word to word bar to bar!”
    “Youngboy should change the name he already stole Roddy’s cover,” another commented. “Roddy: hey mom do me and YoungBoy look the same,” one more person joked, as someone else said, “I thought this n***a roddy ricch was funna drop but I looked again and its youngboy.”
    YB has yet to respond to the accusation, but some people have already come to his defense. For instance, one wrote, “Yall swear he took roddy rich album cover Roddy rich isnt the 1st person on earth to create a black and white album cover but yall still gone be the first ones listening to his album smh.” There was also an individual who said, “everybody saying Youngboy copied Roddy Rich’s album cover but they look absolutely nothing alike. one has a GREY background the other has WHITE background. y’all blind fr.”

She faced backlash after recently posting a video of her award in the mail with many Internet accused her of doing it for attention. However, when fellow winner Roddy Ricch did the same, he got nothing but praises.
    Pointing that out, Cardi ranted on her Twitter account. “Where the people that was saying I posted my Grammy couple days ago for attention?” the Best Rap Album winner wrote on Wednesday, May 20 in a now-deleted tweet. “Bet ya feel stupid now.”
    In a separate post, the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker added, “I was unboxing things on my story and I unboxed my Grammy. Motherf***ers where real loud claiming I was unboxing it for attention, trying to get shine. Now Roddy just got his! Mind you I was just unboxing packages that came to my house.”

    Cardi B blasted her haters who slammed her for posting a picture of her Grammy.
    This arrived after Cardi took to her Instagram account on May 13 to share a video of her unboxing a package which had her trophy from the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. Cardi’s name and the title “Best Rap Album – 2018,” which she won for her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy”, were engraved on the plaque below the golden gramophone.
    As for Roddy, he proudly flaunted his first Grammy on Instagram Story on Wednesday. “thank u @nipseyhussle,” Roddy, who won Best Rap Performance for “Racks in the Middle”, honored his late collaborator.

    Roddy Ricch gave Nipsey Hussle a shoutout for his Grammy win.
    Prior to this, the 21-year-old Compton star reflected on Nipsey’s impact on both him and his community. “He was more than just another rapper to me. He was one of the young motivational role models in the city,” Roddy shared. “He really had a positive connection with young people. It wasn’t always about being the toughest or trying to prove yourself or be something you wasn’t. It was more so about being who you were and always having a strong mentality in whatever you wanted to do as far as your ventures.”
