YoungBoy Never Broke Again Accuses Birdman of Betrayal in New Track
NBA YoungBoy Disses Birdman and Floyd Mayweather in 'Tears Of War'
In his latest track "Tears of War," YoungBoy seems to take aim at both Birdman and Floyd Mayweather. He mentions that he should have heeded Lil Wayne's caution about not trusting the Cash Money Records co-founder.
The song also references Mayweather, who is the father of one of YoungBoy's children's mother.
DJ Akademiks was the first to reveal "Tears of War" online, noting that it was the final track YoungBoy recorded before a police raid on his home in April. Akademiks shared:

Top gave me this song for his fans. He said this was the last song he recorded before they raided his house. He misses y'all.”

In one verse of the six-minute song, YoungBoy raps:
Know Miss Tina probably sayin', This piece of sh*t with my daughter' / I won't arguе 'cause I know that soon I'll probably be slaughterеd / Biggest snake from out of Florida, I ain't never record her / Knew that Stunna never loved me, should've listened to Carter. All these f*ckin' cars, can't drive, I keep my feelings disguised / Scared to vent to Yaya, but I could talk to my guys / Floyd against me, he the only reason that I stopped tryin' / We 'posed to all be aligned, I keep my head to the sky.”
- NBA YoungBoy
Lil Wayne's earlier warning to YoungBoy about Birdman comes to light in this context. On his 2020 track “Multiple Flows” with Lil Uzi Vert, Wayne rapped:
And I had told YoungBoy to watch out for old head.”

The exact moment their relationship soured remains unclear, as both artists have previously shown significant support for one another. Birdman even once hailed YoungBoy as the “biggest rapper” in the industry.
