Blac Youngsta has built a fanbase over the years with a slew of mixtapes and collaborations, including “Heavy” with Yo Gotti and Travis Scott’s “Coordinate.” Born Samuel Benson, the Memphis-based rapper first ignited his career in 2015 after signing to Gotti’s CMG label.

While tracks like “Tissue” have raked in millions of YouTube views, the Memphis rapper recently crossed over into mainstream success with “Booty.” Produced by Beatmonster Marc and Yung Lan, “Booty” originally appeared on his 2017 mixtape ‘I’m Innocent.’

The twerking anthem was rereleased this past February as a track on his debut studio album ‘2.23,’ and received a raunchy and comical dance video that helped grow its popularity. While “Booty” recently debuted at No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100, Youngsta tells Genius that not everyone was initially convinced that it was a hit.

A Floyd Mayweather fight in the UFC is close to becoming a reality.

"Eventually we're gonna apply for [an MMA license] and hopefully we can fight," the boxing legend told TMZ Sports.

He'll be trained by UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. The transition to mixed martial arts will not be easy, but Mayweather believes with proper preparation he could be ready soon.

"Even if it takes 6 to 8 months -- whatever it takes. We want to make sure that everything is done correctly. And everything is done the right way," he said.

Although a rematch with Conor McGregor is the ultimate goal, Mayweather will most likely face an opponent with less experience the first time he steps into the octagon.

Former WWE champion CM Punk is rumored to be someone the UFC might consider. He has a record of 0-1.
