NBA YoungBoy Sends Tweet Aimed At PlaqueBoyMax
The drama appeared to begin Friday night when PlaqueBoyMax addressed comments from someone affiliated with YoungBoy’s camp during a livestream. The remarks reportedly came from Montana, who is widely known online as someone close to the rapper.
Montana criticized Max over his live reaction to YoungBoy’s latest single, ‘Headtap,’ suggesting the streamer was hating and should simply say he doesn’t rock with their camp instead of reacting publicly. Fans speculated that the comments stemmed from Max’s recent stream, where he said he didn’t like ‘Headtap’ while reacting in real time.
In response, Max stood firm. He told viewers he would not blindly praise a song just to avoid backlash. According to him, it was simply his opinion. He added that it was “all love” and clarified that he still supports YoungBoy’s music overall. However, that explanation didn’t seem to be enough. YoungBoy later hopped on X and sent a direct message to Max.
