After receiving the award, Yung Bleu gave out a short speech. He claimed, “We did this independent!” The rapper also has sent a shout-out to “Empire, Boosie, everybody, Alabama,” and more.
At the end of 2020, Yung Bleu released the ‘You’re Mines Still’ music video; so far, it has more than 170 million views.
