Bouba Savage | Before They Were Famous | Youngest Bronx Drill Rapper

BEFORE Bouba Savage would become one of the youngest hip-hop
performers ever, he was born Boubacar Diallo on October 17th, 2006
in Conakry, Guinea. That’s where Diallo would spend the first
decade of his life growing-up in an Islamic family in West Africa,
where he learned to appreciate hot-sauce as his go-to condiment and
got pretty good at basketball and soccer to boot. Unfortunately, he
was a little bit less interested in reading an every-single page of
the Quran during class hours and when he’d make the mistake of
falling asleep, his teachers would ensure he regretted it by
whipping his hand with a wire coat hanger. Then, in 2016, he and
his siblings left their mom behind and immigrated to the United
States, settling in New York City – more specifically, Courtlandt
Avenue in the Bronx – to live with their father. At the time of his
arrival in North America, Diallo couldn’t speak a single word of
English, so he quickly integrated himself in not only the city’s
culture, but his new step-family as well and within two years he
was speaking the language fluently.
