NBA YoungBoy's friend NBA Ben10 reportedly gets shot 

Never Broke Again is YoungBoy's record label from Baton Rouge, established in 2015. Over the years, the collective has expanded to introduce other artists to the rap scene, including NBA YoungBoy's close friend and reportedly right hand, NBA Ben10. The latter goes by the username mgng10x and has been often spotted alongside YoungBoy.

On April 4, X user, My Mixtapez took to their X channel to post that NBA Ben10 had been "allegedly shot in his hometown of Baton Rouge." They added that Ben10's condition was "still unknown." The post gathered immediate attention, with many fans expressing concern for the rapper.

Netizens took to the comment section and noted that this wasn't true. One user (@polodown076) noted that Young Boy's brother Bway had reportedly said that Ben 10 wasn't shot,

"Bway said he ain’t get shot stop spreading lies."

Another user (@richestoppyB) slammed the news and wrote,

"this is fake news , your source is a known troll."

Another user (@truthhurts5ive) took to the comment section and attached a screenshot of rapper, bximpistolp, denying the rumour. He wrote that it was "not true." One netizen (@StonerBeatz_ZA) expressed their concerns about the rising cases of gun violence in the rap community and noted,

"In the rap community bullets are the only thing killing youngins, they nolonger get sick, die of old age etc, death certificate always says cause of death, m*rdered. Who The F**k Normalised this culture?"
