Rapper NBA YoungBoy has issued a heartfelt apology to Offset during a phone call that aired live, revealing he allowed a recent confrontation with Blueface and his mother to trigger an emotional outburst. The call, recorded on his daughter Culture’s birthday, shows a humbled YoungBoy admitting he “flashed out” and lost control. “I got to stop that getting emotional shit because I really let some other ass shit hurt me,” he told Offset, visibly remorseful. The apology marks a rare moment of vulnerability from the notoriously volatile artist, who has been embroiled in a public feud with Blueface over the past weeks.
YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, began the call by celebrating his five-year-old daughter Culture Kiara Cifus’ birthday. “First and foremost, it’s my beautiful daughter Culture’s birthday,” he said, calling her a “great child” and a “smart child.” He expressed gratitude for being alive and for God keeping him in the world. “We got to wish Culture a happy birthday,” he repeated, his voice soft. The rapper is currently in Norway after performing at a festival, and he noted the time zone difference made the milestone especially meaningful. “If it ain’t 12:00 in America, I want to wish the world my beautiful baby Culture happy birthday,” he added.
The tone of the call shifted when YoungBoy turned to Offset, who had apparently reached out to check on him amid the feud. “I really can’t quit this though because I really don’t like how you just got on my ass here,” YoungBoy admitted, referencing Offset’s efforts to guide him. He acknowledged he had been “flashing out” on Blueface and his mother, a reference to heated online exchanges and alleged physical threats. “No, no, on some G shit, I got to stop that getting emotional shit,” he said. He then directly apologized: “I apologize to you and I apologize to them too.” Offset responded calmly, with YoungBoy later saying, “You made me feel like a little dick right now. I flashed out, that wouldn’t got me.”
The feud between NBA YoungBoy and Blueface escalated earlier this month when YoungBoy posted videos threatening Blueface and his mother, accusing them of disrespect. The situation drew widespread attention, with fans and fellow artists urging de-escalation. In the call, YoungBoy credited Offset with helping him regain perspective. “I’ve been doing great shit. You’re right though and I thank you for that,” he said. He stressed the importance of focusing on family and money, saying, “We pushing the money. Don’t let nobody get to your body. We do what’s right to our family.” The rapper reiterated that he is “in Norway” and that Norway is “where my main home at,” indicating he is distancing himself from the 𝒹𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒶.
Throughout the call, YoungBoy repeatedly returned to his daughter, underscoring how she keeps him grounded. “Culture is the most beautiful, smartest angel in the world. She’s my heart. She makes me keep the heart pumping,” he said. “When everybody against me, my baby is with me.” He told Offset that he had to “let that shit go” and move forward. “Real shit, get up out our body. You in Norway. That’s where my main home at,” he said, before signing off with “I love you” to Offset and another birthday wish for Culture. The call ended with YoungBoy clearing his throat and saying, “I’m about to get up out of here.”
The apology represents a significant shift for YoungBoy, who has faced legal troubles and public altercations throughout his career. By humbling himself before Offset and acknowledging his mistakes, he is signaling a desire for peace and maturity. Fans have reacted positively, with many praising his honesty and his focus on his daughter. The call also highlights the role of older mentors like Offset in guiding younger artists through conflict. “We living. God is good,” YoungBoy said. “I fleshed out. We ain’t doing that no more.” His decision to publicly apologize may help de-escalate tensions with Blueface, though it remains unclear if Blueface will respond.
YoungBoy’s team has not issued an official statement, but the rapper’s own words on the call are being treated as a public admission of fault. In the transcript, he says, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I flashed out, man. You got me feeling like a little dick right now.” He also told Offset, “I love you, man. Happy birthday, Coach,” referring to his daughter in a affectionate nickname. The call has already circulated widely on social media, with many noting the contrast between YoungBoy’s often aggressive public persona and the tender, apologetic tone he displayed. “It’s all good, we living,” he concluded, emphasizing his commitment to staying grounded and focused on his family and career.
As the breaking news develops, observers are watching to see if this apology leads to a broader resolution between YoungBoy and Blueface. For now, YoungBoy remains in Europe, continuing his tour while celebrating his daughter’s birthday from afar. “It’s the 10th, man. We got to wish baby Culture a happy birthday,” he said at the top of the call, setting the tone for the entire conversation. His apology to Offset and his acknowledgment of his own emotional triggers mark a potential turning point in his public life. “I got to let that shit go,” he said. “I got to. I love you.” The music community is widely applauding his willingness to show vulnerability and take accountability. This moment may well define a new chapter for NBA YoungBoy, one built on humility, family, and growth. Further updates are expected as the story evolves.
