NBA YoungBoy has an unusual message for fans

In a video shared by the DailyLoud, YoungBoy can be seen giving out a message to his audience. Here he claimed that he was scared of people and was always a little shy. However, he still got up on stage despite this fear but was always concerned about his safety.

I’m terrified of people. I’m very scared of people, Iike on my kids, I’m terrified of people, and I’m very shy. But I never know why I still walk out on the stage. I would get it done and leave. I’m terrified of people. People are cruel. It’s like you can’t control all that stuff, so you never know when someone will do you,” he said.

Moreover, the fans were also quick to point this out as they called him out for this out-of-character message. Mayweather also got dragged into the conversation with fans trolling him as well.
