NBA YoungBoy Isn’t Leaving Anytime Soon
YB has made headlines for the wrong reasons these days. Recent reports claimed the hip-hop star must remain behind bars after having a $540,000 bail revoked. According to reports, past issues have forced a judge on April 1 to look the other way at NBA’s bail. YoungBoy is expected to stay in jail until his upcoming trial.
According to legal documents viewed by Complex, a Louisiana judge has revoked the 21-year-old rapper’s $540,000 bond that was granted in the Central District of California last month. YoungBoy—legal name Kentrell DeSean Gaulden—was placed in federal custody on March 22 following an on-foot pursuit in California. He was wanted on an outstanding warrant stemming from 2020 drugs- and weapons-related charges. A California magistrate judge ultimately granted YoungBoy pretrial release that was contingent on Louisiana’s approval. (Complex)
Taken Into FBI Custody
In March 2021, a police swarm came after authorities attempted to stop a vehicle that the NBA YoungBoy was inside of due to a federal outstanding warrant.
YoungBoy led the police on a short chase before getting out of his vehicle and leading them on a foot pursuit. A K9 unit tracked the rap star down, although it didn’t bite him. He was taken into FBI custody and booked shortly after.
We’re told the bust went down Monday … LAPD and the feds attempted to pull over a vehicle NBA YoungBoy was in because he has an outstanding federal warrant. That set off a short pursuit — but once the car stopped, cops say the rapper bolted on foot. Our law enforcement sources tell us the cops set up a perimeter and brought in a K-9 to help find YoungBoy. BTW, we’re told the police dog didn’t bite him — but did sniff him out. We’re told the cops found a firearm in the vehicle — unclear if that belongs to YoungBoy, but we know the feds have him now. (TMZ)
