YouTuber Trap Lore Ross, known for his deep dives into hip-hop conspiracies and documentaries, is facing significant heat from NBA YoungBoy’s dedicated fanbase. His latest upload, titled ’19 Murders For YoungBoy: NBA’s Top Killers,’ alleges a connection between the rapper and the deaths of 19 individuals, sparking outrage among fans.
The Controversial Documentary
The nearly two-hour-long video meticulously breaks down how Ross claims NBA YoungBoy allegedly orchestrates a vast gang network in Louisiana, linking him to the deaths of 19 people. Ross uses a combination of the rapper’s lyrics, various reports, and online rumors to build his case. While he clarifies he’s not directly calling YoungBoy a murderer, the implications are clear, and fans are not taking it lightly.
This isn’t the first time Ross has faced backlash for his content concerning NBA YoungBoy. He previously released a similar video two years ago, which reportedly led to death threats before it was even uploaded. The intensity of the fan reaction highlights the fierce loyalty NBA YoungBoy commands.
Ross Defends His Work and Calls Out Hypocrisy
In response to the current wave of criticism, Trap Lore Ross has defended his research and methodology. In a clip shared by My Mixtapez, he addressed the backlash, pointing out what he sees as hypocrisy among NBA YoungBoy’s supporters. Ross highlighted instances where fans praised YoungBoy as ‘the realest’ for his lyrics about violence, while simultaneously criticizing Ross for analyzing those same lyrics.
‘It’s like, you want to have it both ways,’ Ross stated, referencing the conflicting reactions. He firmly believes he’s within his rights as a ‘fan’ and ‘hip-hop-ologist’ to ‘discover and decipher what these lyrics are all about.’
Ross also noted that NBA YoungBoy’s fans seemed to believe the rapper responded to his previous video with the song ‘Testimony,’ which includes the line, ‘Real gangstar or a fake killer? tell em ‘f*ck with us.’ This suggests a history of tension between the content creator and the artist’s fanbase.
