Okay, so, I was scrolling through some stuff online the other day, and I kept seeing this question pop up: “What happened to NBA YoungBoy’s head?” It got me curious, ’cause, you know, you see those scars on his forehead, and it’s kinda hard to miss. So, I did what any curious person would do—I dove into the internet to find out.
At first, I found some crazy stuff. People were saying he got shot in the head or hit by a car, and all these wild stories. But I kept digging ’cause I wanted to know the real deal. Eventually, I found a bunch of articles and even some interviews where he talks about it himself. Turns out, the story is way less dramatic than what some folks were saying. And it’s wild that there are so many different stories out there on the internet.

So here’s what really happened. When YoungBoy was just a little kid, like around four years old, he was play-wrestling, like kids do. He ended up breaking his neck during this roughhousing. Yeah, you heard that right—he broke his neck as a toddler! That’s some serious stuff for a little kid to go through.
Because of that injury, he had to wear this crazy metal brace thing on his head. I found some pictures of similar devices online, and man, they look intense. Imagine having this big metal thing screwed into your head—it’s wild! He had to wear that brace until his spine healed up properly, which I guess took a while.
- The injury: Broken neck from play-wrestling as a toddler.
- The treatment: A heavy metal brace screwed into his head.
- The result: Permanent scars on his forehead.
Anyway, that brace ended up leaving some pretty noticeable scars on his forehead. And that’s the whole story. He got hurt playing around as a kid, had to wear a brace, and now he’s got the scars. It’s kind of interesting how such a simple explanation can get twisted into all sorts of crazy stories online. I thought those scars came from his days as a rapper, but they’ve been with him since he was a child. I didn’t realize until I started researching that he had kids so early in life.
I just wanted to share what I found ’cause I thought it was pretty interesting. Plus, it’s a good reminder that you can’t always believe everything you read on the internet. Sometimes, the truth is a lot less exciting than the rumors, haha. It’s always a good idea to do your own digging and see what’s really up.
A little more digging
I thought I found the whole story about NBA YoungBoy. But I kept digging and found more. Turns out he already had 12 kids at the age of 24. I mean, that’s a lot for someone so young. He had his first child at the age of 16. This guy has been through a lot.
So, there you have it. That’s what I found out about NBA YoungBoy’s head scars. It’s a bit of a wild ride from play-wrestling to a broken neck to a music career and a big family. Life, huh? It throws some curveballs. Anyway, I thought it was worth sharing my little investigation journey. Hope you found it as interesting as I did!
