NBA YoungBoy is bringing fans closer to his world with the streaming release of “American YoungBoy,” a concert documentary that captures the Louisiana rapper during his biggest tour to date.
The film, which follows NBA YoungBoy—born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden—through his “Make America Slime Again” arena tour, officially arrived on Amazon Prime Video during the Fourth of July weekend.
The release gives viewers another opportunity to experience the project after its theatrical debut in April, where it earned approximately $1.84 million during its opening weekend.
Directed by Nico Ballesteros, the documentary combines live performances, backstage footage, and behind-the-scenes moments from the rapper’s 42-date arena run.
For fans of one of hip-hop’s most private figures, the film offers a closer look at the artist beyond the stage.
Inside NBA YoungBoy’s Biggest Tour Yet
“American YoungBoy” follows the rapper as he takes his Make America Slime Again tour across arenas, documenting the scale and energy behind the production.
The film focuses on the live experience while also showing moments away from the spotlight, giving audiences a glimpse into the preparation and creativity involved in building a major concert tour.
The project was released through YoungBoy’s own 38 Heights Film and Productions, representing another step into filmmaking and visual storytelling.
According to the film’s producers, the documentary centers on “raw, intentional narratives rooted in live experience, creativity, and culture.”
The release reflects YoungBoy’s continued expansion beyond traditional music releases, using film and visual content to tell more of his story.
A Career Built on Streaming and Chart Success
NBA YoungBoy has remained one of rap’s most commercially successful artists, particularly through digital platforms.
Promotional materials for the documentary highlight his reported achievements, including more than 30 billion global streams, 109 Recording Industry Association of America certifications, and more than 16 billion YouTube views.
The materials also credit him as the youngest artist to surpass 100 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 and the rapper with the most charting albums in Billboard history.
While those achievements are highlighted as part of the documentary’s promotion, the film’s main focus remains the relationship between YoungBoy, his fans, and his live performances.
‘Make America Slime Again’ Becomes Part of YoungBoy’s Legacy
The documentary also places major attention on the Make America Slime Again tour, which organizers describe as the highest-grossing debut headlining arena tour by a rapper.
The milestone represents a major moment in YoungBoy’s career, especially considering his ability to maintain a dedicated audience while often keeping a low public profile.
The tour became a centerpiece of the documentary, showing the scale of his performances and the connection between the rapper and his supporters.
More Than Music for NBA YoungBoy
Alongside the streaming release, YoungBoy also introduced new merchandise connected to the project.
The rapper released a limited Make America Slime Again capsule collection through his Never Broke Again Clothing brand to coincide with the Prime Video premiere.
The move continues a broader trend among artists who are building entertainment brands beyond albums and concerts.
From music to film and fashion, YoungBoy’s latest projects show an effort to expand his creative footprint.
For longtime supporters, “American YoungBoy” offers a rare look at an artist who has often maintained distance from the public spotlight.
The documentary allows fans to experience the atmosphere surrounding his performances while seeing the work behind one of his biggest career moments.
As NBA YoungBoy continues exploring new creative spaces, the film marks another chapter in his evolution from rapper to a broader entertainment figure.
