NBA YoungBoy Kicks Off MASA Tour in Dallas with Surprise $50,000 Donation

DALLAS, Sept. 1, 2025 - Rap sensation YoungBoy Never Broke Again launched his highly anticipated “Make America Slime Again” (MASA) Tour tonight at the American Airlines Center, delivering an electrifying performance and underscoring his return to the stage after years away from arena headlining. In a gesture that blended entertainment with philanthropy, the Baton Rouge native donated a total of $50,000 to two Dallas-based nonprofits before taking the stage.

YoungBoy’s three sold-out performances in Dallas mark his first major headlining shows in five years, featuring an expansive catalog of hits alongside recent releases and fan favorites. The crowd erupted as he opened with chart-toppers from his latest album and treated attendees to exclusive live renditions of tracks from More Leaks and his new single “Shot Callin’.” Special guests DeeBaby and K3 joined him onstage, elevating the night’s energy with dynamic collaborations and surprise appearances.

Before the first note sounded, YoungBoy split a $50,000 donation evenly between Manifest Freedom and Urban Specialists, organizations dedicated to empowering formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs and reducing community violence, respectively. Manifest Freedom, founded by attorney Brittany K. Barnett, supports clemency recipients and creative professionals affected by incarceration, while Urban Specialists focuses on violence prevention and leadership development in underserved neighborhoods. Each nonprofit will channel its share into youth programs, family support initiatives, and efforts to break cycles of incarceration.

Tonight’s Dallas kickoff sets the tone for a 45-city tour spanning major arenas across the United States, from Los Angeles and Chicago to Miami and New York, before concluding in New Orleans on October 19. Fans can expect bold stage visuals, immersive production elements, and YoungBoy’s signature raw performance style as the MASA Tour rolls through cities nationwide.
