NBA YoungBoy disclosed that he earned as much as $1.5 million for every performance during the MASA Tour.
In an interview that aired on August 11th with Open Thoughts With Funny Marco, a Wave Original project, the typically private Louisiana rapper shared insights into his career achievements and other topics on YouTube.
“I’m a very natural person, but most of my achievements came very unexpectedly,” YB said. “I used to tell myself I’ll never get $100,000 a show. Each show on the MASA Tour, I got $1.5 [million]…Nothing less than $1.2 a night. I’ll never believe no sh*t like [that].”
“I never thought about actually having a No. 1 album and all that,” he added. “I always wanted it. I always said I wanted it. But you will never actually believe that sh*t, my dude.”
The 2025 “MASA Tour” by YoungBoy proved to be a resounding triumph. With 42 performances, it became the most lucrative tour for a debut headlining rapper, earning over $70 million.
In another part of the interview, YB revealed plans to retire after releasing one or two more albums and embarking on a final tour. Now residing mainly abroad, he stated that he will not be coming back to the United States.
