NBA YoungBoy's Make America Slime Again tour is on pace to becoming one of the highest-grossing hip-hop tours in U.S. history.
According to Touring Data, YB’s current tour has over 500,000 tickets sold for its 42 shows — giving it a total gross of more than $70 million.
This massive success puts the rapper in an elite category, joining the likes of Drake, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent and Jay-Z who are all on the top 10 highest grossing hip-hop tours list.
YoungBoy’s MASA tour has had its fair share of wild moments. Last month, a video of a teenage fan assaulting an older member of staff at the venue in Kansas City, Missouri went viral.
Footage from the show at the T-Mobile Center, that happened on September 21, depicted a juvenile punching an employee who worked for guest services at the venue.
A nearby witness gave an explanation for what happened, saying: "He was asked to move to another place — because his ticket wasn’t where he was sitting — and immediately he just completely lost it."
"But there is something going on in his heart that needs to be fixed — and what that is, is his emotions," the witness continued. "He needs to learn how to operate and work through and process those emotions."
The 14-year-old suspect was later charged with felony assault and misdemeanor assault in connection with the attack.
Kai Cenat gave YoungBoy’s tour perhaps its biggest co-sign when he was spotted crying at one of the shows that same month.
Cenat wasn’t the only person to get emotional at YoungBoy’s shows, with other videos of fans in tears surfacing online. Charleston White expressed his thoughts about seeing adult men cry in an interview with SAY CHEESE! where he revealed his disgust.
"Now, I heard you say a lot of good shit. Grown men coming together crying," said White. "They were not no goddamn crying in no muthafuckin' NBA concert. That was a mentally retarded male. A mentally retarded male trapped in a grown man's body, still embracing his childhood boy decisions."
