Richest Opp is Youngboy’s third project this year, following up the recently released 33-track album “Don’t Try This At Home” and January’s “I Rest My Case“.
The project arrives on the heels of his reignited beef with Lil Durk, who he dissed this week along with India Royale and DJ Akademiks. Durk was also supposed to release his new album “Almost Healed” today but now it pushed back to later this month.
On his album, the Baton Rouge rapper also took shots at Drake, J. Cole, and Lil Yachty in the song titled “F**k The Industry Pt. 2”. For the diss track, Youngboy gets a warning from J Prince. “To the lil homie, as I said to you privately, I say to you publicly that Drake is my son, he roll with me. Therefore, I think it’s a good idea to take him off your enemy list because the truth of the matter is that we got nothing but love for Durk and your accomplishments,” he wrote. “When I put Drake on that facetime call with you, my intent was for y’all to move forward, not backwards. Two things we get every day is a chance and a choice. The choices we make determine our destination.”
