YSL Woody, currently navigating life outside of Young Thug and YSL’s RICO trial, recently shared insights into his personal struggles and musical preferences during an interview with The Danza Project. Known for his controversial testimony in the high-profile case, Woody also discussed his admiration for NBA YoungBoy and the connection he feels with the artist’s experiences.
In the interview, Woody drew a parallel between his own legal battles and those faced by YoungBoy. “Trauma, man,” Woody said, explaining why he resonates with NBA YoungBoy’s music. “We have been through so much. That’s why I listen to YoungBoy. When I listen to him, I hear the words, but I feel it. He’s younger than me, and it’s heartbreaking to see him continually locked up. It’s the same thing that happened to me.”
Woody elaborated on the systemic issues he perceives, suggesting that both he and YoungBoy are targeted because they are seen as threats. “When they lock us up, they’re not just imprisoning us—they’re destroying us and making things worse,” he added.
This interview sheds light on Woody’s perspective on his legal challenges and his affinity for NBA YoungBoy’s music as a reflection of shared struggles.
