He even addresses his current issues thats been floating on social media with other rappers and addresses the theme behind the album, ‘Almost Healed’. Akademiks spoke to him about NBA Youngboy fans getting upset at him over saying he was going to “&())) up the streets,” but he responded that didn’t necessarily mean he was speaking on NBA Youngboy. He also admitted to being just as surprised as everyone else when the diss single “f^&% the Industry pt. 2” dropped.
Durk also explained that he didn’t need NBA Youngboy to help sell his music since he outsells him anyways. The hip hop fans on social media got into a back and forth on the topic since raw numbers show NBA Youngboy ahead of Durk in streams. It was also noted that NBA Youngboy has dropped a lot more music than Durk in the last year.

How do more songs mean more streams?
It would be the opposite if anything bc only YBs core fans are tuning in to his drops now
main stream fans gave up late last year or at least are catching up slowly
