NBA YoungBoy Sentenced to Nearly Two Years in Prison

Kentrell Gaulden, better known by his stage name NBA YoungBoy, has been sentenced to just under two years in prison. The sentence stems from prior gun charges in Louisiana, concluding a chapter in his ongoing legal battles.

Gaulden was arrested in Baton Rouge in 2019 on a warrant for multiple felony drug and firearm charges. He was subsequently released on bond, but violated his probation by failing to complete a drug test and missing scheduled court appearances.

In August 2021, Gaulden pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and one count of possession of codeine. He also admitted to violating his probation.

On Friday, November 19, 2021, the rapper received a sentence of 13 months on the firearm charge and 12 months on the codeine charge, to be served consecutively. He was also sentenced to an additional 6 months for violating his probation. The total sentence adds up to 37 months, or just under two years.

This sentencing marks a significant development in NBA YoungBoy's ongoing interaction with the justice system. The rapper has faced numerous legal challenges in recent years, including charges for assault, drug possession, and weapons violations.

The sentence is expected to further disrupt NBA YoungBoy's music career. The rapper was scheduled to perform at several concerts in the coming months, but those appearances are likely to be postponed or canceled.

NBA YoungBoy is one of the most popular rappers in the world, with millions of fans and billions of streams. His legal troubles have cast a shadow over his career, but it remains to be seen how the sentencing will impact his long-term success.
