Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, better known as rapper NBA YoungBoy, will walk out of prison in July 2025 thanks to a plea deal related to a federal gun charge in Utah last year.
The Context
Gaulden, known by his professional name YoungBoy Never Broke Again or NBA YoungBoy, has faced no shortage of legal problems over the years. His most recent problems stemmed from gun-related charges in Utah.
What to Know
After much legal wrangling, the Louisiana native agreed to a deal that resolved much of the charges against him. The deal, finalized in September 2024, required Gaulden to acknowledge that while filming a rap video in Baton Rouge, he was illegally in possession of several firearms.
The initial agreement resulted in a 23-month sentence with five years' probation and a $200,000 fine, but that has changed per new information. Gaulden also agreed to relinquish the weapons, which included a Glock 21 .45-caliber pistol and a Masterpiece Arms MPA30T 9mm handgun.
Gaulden will now be released from prison on July 27, 2025, which is far sooner than the deal would have, according to Times Now. The sentence appears to have been reduced since it includes time served up until May 2024.
Fans discovered the information based on a search of his incarceration information, which stated July as his release date.
