NBA YoungBoy Makes Baton Rouge History With 45 Straight MASA Tour Sellouts
Seattle hosted the final stop of the Make America Slime Again Tour, as NBA YoungBoy closed out 11 weeks on the road with a sold-out show at Climate Pledge Arena. Tickets vanished on every one of his 45 itinerary dates, 42 of which were live performances, marking the first time a Baton Rouge artist hit that level of consecutive sellouts.
At 25, he wrapped his first headlining trek in five years with an electrifying performance that sealed his reputation as a live powerhouse. Industry analysts rank the MASA Tour among the highest-grossing rap runs in United States history, thanks to coast-to-coast performances.
The tour launched on September 1 in Dallas as “Make America Slime Again.” YoungBoy opened the run by donating $50,000 to Dallas-based nonprofits focused on violence prevention and criminal justice reform, setting an early philanthropic tone.
October brought YoungBoy back to Louisiana for the first time in seven years, with the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans sold out. Fans flooded the French Quarter after the show, creating one of the tour’s most talked-about nights.
Achieving a 42-for-42 sellout streak is rare, particularly for an artist managing ongoing legal challenges. His steady stream of albums, mixtapes and singles fed fan demand, turning every city stop into a high-demand event. Tickets often vanished within hours in most markets.
Even without live dates for five years, his pull never wavered. Fans remained loyal, filling venues from coast to coast once tour dates were announced. Ticket presales often reached capacity in record time, showing his widespread appeal.
The Seattle finale wrapped an 11-week run that shattered records set by Louisiana hip-hop artists. YoungBoy’s feat highlights his status among the genre’s most formidable live acts.
