"Who's the number one rapper right now?" Williamson was asked. 

"Out of the young core, I got to go with YoungBoy," said the hoop star, who's been criticized in the past for dozing off on the bench and gaining too much weight during the offseason. 

"No lies told," responded one Instagram user about YoungBoy.

"Yb better than tupac & eminem," a second person stated.

"I go fir lilbaby," wrote someone else.

"Zion only saying that because he in New Orleans not far from Baton Rouge that n*gga spook use your brains," read another comment.

Do you agree with Williamson about YoungBoy being the best out of the younger rappers?
