In a startling update, NBA YoungBoy is set to be released from prison earlier than anticipated. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has adjusted his release date from July 27 to April 26, meaning the controversial rapper will be home in just over a month.
YoungBoy, who recently accepted a plea deal related to gun possession and a prescription medication fraud scheme, initially faced a 23-month sentence, along with five years of probation and a hefty $200,000 fine. This deal appears to have been modified, allowing for a sentencing reduction that acknowledges time served up until May 2024.
This news comes amid reports of YoungBoy’s tumultuous time in FCI Talladega federal prison, where he was reportedly placed in solitary confinement after an altercation with another inmate. According to Terrance “Gangsta” Williams, Birdman’s brother, YoungBoy confronted a man who provoked him by shouting out the name of rival rapper Lil Durk’s crew, OTF.
Despite the challenges he faced behind bars, YoungBoy’s impending release seems unaffected. The Baton Rouge rapper has previously downplayed his beef with Lil Durk, labeling it as “entertainment” and expressing a desire to resolve their issues. However, tensions remain, with Durk recently accusing YoungBoy of sending him false addresses, complicating any potential reconciliation.
As NBA YoungBoy prepares to return to the outside world, fans await his next moves in both music and personal life, ready to see how this early release might influence his future endeavors.
