NBA YoungBoy, the popular rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has found himself in trouble once again. While serving house arrest in Utah, he was arrested on multiple charges including weapons, drug, and fraud offenses. This latest legal entanglement adds to his ongoing legal battles, including a previous indictment in Louisiana for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, has a history of legal issues, including a prior conviction for aggravated assault with a weapon in 2017. In September 2020, he was allegedly found with two guns during a music video shoot in Baton Rouge, leading to his arrest in Los Angeles shortly after. Federal prosecutors in California also brought charges against him for possessing another gun in his car during the arrest.
Despite being acquitted of the charges in California in 2022, YoungBoy is still facing trial in Louisiana for the original indictment. His recent arrest in Utah further complicates his legal situation and raises questions about his future in the music industry.
The rapper’s alleged drug use has also been a point of contention in his legal battles. Federal prosecutors accused him of violating the terms of his house arrest by using or possessing controlled substances, further complicating his legal troubles.
It remains to be seen how this latest arrest will impact NBA YoungBoy’s career and personal life. With multiple charges pending against him in different states, the rapper faces an uncertain future as he navigates the legal system. Only time will tell what the outcome of these charges will be and what it means for his music career moving forward.
