NBA YoungBoy Releases Bristling ‘Zero IQ Freestyle’ & Appears to Respond to NLE Choppa

By Eric November 18, 2025

YoungBoy Never Broke Again (NBA YoungBoy) made a notable return over the weekend with his latest release, “Zero IQ Freestyle.” The Baton Rouge rapper didn’t hold back in this freestyle, addressing his exes and possibly taking jabs at fellow rapper NLE Choppa. The accompanying music video, filmed at YoungBoy’s Utah mansion, showcases a laid-back yet vibrant atmosphere. In the clip, YoungBoy appears to be having a good time, flexing his wealth with cash and jewelry while moving through his home and even playfully waking a friend with a splash of water.

The context of this release is particularly interesting, as it seems to be a response to NLE Choppa’s diss track “KO,” which drew inspiration from 2Pac’s iconic “Hit Em Up.” In his track, Choppa labeled YoungBoy as a “poison” to the youth, a claim that YoungBoy seems to dismiss as he asserts his dominance in the rap game. His lyrics in “Zero IQ Freestyle” convey a sense of confidence and aggression, with lines that suggest he views Choppa as beneath him, stating, “Bi—, f— you, you ain’t really 5 and healin’ all with real gang hoes.” YoungBoy’s direct and unapologetic style continues to resonate with fans, as he navigates the competitive landscape of hip-hop.

Additionally, YoungBoy stirred the pot by airing out personal details about an ex, claiming she had relationships with NBA star Kevin Durant and rapper Ken Carson. This revelation has sparked discussions across social media, with fans reacting to the candidness of his lyrics. As 2025 unfolds, it marks a successful year for YoungBoy, following the release of his album “MASA” and his first headlining arena tour, which concluded in October. With “Zero IQ Freestyle,” YoungBoy reaffirms his position in the industry, showcasing his lyrical prowess and unfiltered approach to storytelling. Be sure to check out the video for a glimpse into YoungBoy’s extravagant lifestyle and to hear his latest fiery verses.

YB released an accompanying video shot from the comforts of his Utah mansion. The budget-friendly clip finds a possibly intoxicated YoungBoy dropped off at the front door of his house, before continuing to turn up inside. He flexes plenty of cash and jewelry while moving room to room and even wakes up a sleeping friend with a water bath.

-influenced
“KO” diss track,
which saw him claim that YB’s a “poison” to the youth. NBA YoungBoy doesn’t even see Choppa on his level, or as someone worth directly addressing.

“I pull up, I’m thuggin’ and I’m clutchin’, you don’t wan’ see me/ Bi—, you playin’, I shoot the Glock/ I shoot the Glock, you ain’t gon’ beat me,” he raps before seemingly later circling back to Choppa. “Bi—, f— you, you ain’t really 5 and healin’ all with real gang hoes/ Respond to him, he ain’t never ran nothin’ down.”

There were other bars that caught fire on social media, such as YoungBoy airing out a former flame for allegedly sleeping with NBA star Kevin Durant and
Ken Carson
. “My bi— f—ed Kevin Durant and f—ed Ken Carson/ She gon’ tell me after I turned her up, man, you knowin’ I’m finna whoop this ho,” he spews.

2025 has been another solid year for YoungBoy, who’s coming off the release of his
MASA
album and his
first headlining arena tour,
which wrapped up in October.
