NBA YoungBoy has received his official prison sentence, which includes 23 months behind bars followed by 60 months of probation in Utah, where he has been on house arrest. This sentence stems from two separate gun cases. The first incident occurred in September 2020, when the Louisiana rapper was found in possession of two firearms during a music video shoot in Baton Rouge. The second case involved another gun possession at his home in Huntsville, Utah, after a search warrant was executed in April of this year.
Originally, YoungBoy faced 27 months in prison, but his sentence was reduced by four months to 23 months. While not a drastic change, the reduction still offers some improvement, as four fewer months in prison is beneficial.
Despite his major success in the music industry, YoungBoy has faced ongoing legal troubles throughout his career. Logan District Judge Spencer Walsh handed down the original sentence. He expressed sympathy for the rapper, acknowledging how addiction can cause young people to lose their potential. “I’ve seen so many times where you have young men and women who have a lot of talent and potential. They can be robbed of that potential when they start to really struggle with their addictions. I don’t want that for you,” Judge Walsh said. He went on to encourage YoungBoy. He believes the rapper can have a successful future once his prison time is over. Originally, YoungBoy faced 27 months in prison, but his sentence has been reduced to 23 months. “I’m sure that in your future, once you’re done with your federal prison time, you can be really successful on federal probation and have a really bright future where you can reach your full potential in every aspect of your life. Best of luck to you, Mr. Gaulden.”
