NBA YoungBoy Says He Flushed Drugs and Will Try Six Months Sober While Living in South Korea

His public pledge follows a declared relocation that exposes him to South Korea’s strict drug laws and could shape his safety and career plans.

Overview

  • This week the rapper posted Instagram Stories saying he flushed drugs down the toilet and is trying to stay sober for six months, without specifying the substance or how far he is into that period.
  • He has told interviews that he now lives in South Korea and does not plan to return to the United States, a move that outlets say could make avoiding drug encounters a legal as well as personal priority.
  • Reporters note that South Korea enforces tough penalties for drug possession for foreigners, including multi-year prison terms and large fines for marijuana, cocaine and MDMA, which raises the stakes for living there.
  • YoungBoy also teased new music on Instagram and Billboard reported the album title as All Dogs Go to Heaven, a detail that remains reported but not independently confirmed by his team.
  • These developments build on his past rehab admission in 2023, his federal weapons-related prison term and his March 2025 release followed by a presidential pardon from Donald Trump in May 2025.
