NBA Youngboy spoke about his appearance and his newfound love for wearing makeup while speaking with DJ Akademiks on Clubhouse.

“I like doing my face, I like painting my face or putting makeup on,” YoungBoy told Akademiks. “I like to look in the mirror and see everything black, my eyes and sh*t.”

The Baton Rouge rapper admitted that wearing makeup makes him feel good. “That’s 100 percent real. That’s me being myself. I feel comfortable in a way.”

NBA Youngboy clarified that he is not wearing face paint and that he is wearing makeup brand MAC Cosmetics.

“That’s some sh*t from MAC,” he said. “I made my engineer go buy it. It give me like the goth feeling, like rockstar or some sh*t.”

Another video of YoungBoy in makeup went viral online, after his sister shared a post on her Instagram feed.

The caption to a post reads, "I don’t care what they think about me #RockPeace."
