Who is NBA YoungBoy?
NBA YoungBoy was born in 1999 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
He was raised mainly by his maternal grandmother due to his father being sentenced to 55 years in prison, Fader Magazine reports.
His real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden but he is known professionally as YoungBoy Never Broke Again, or NBA YoungBoy.
As a toddler, YoungBoy broke his neck while wrestling, and the injury required him to wear a head brace which left permanent scars on his forehead.
He dropped out of ninth grade to focus on his music career but was arrested for robbery and sent to a detention center in Tallulah, Louisiana.
After he was released he and a friend reportedly used acts of criminality to pay for studio time.
He was reportedly arrested by the FBI after trying to flee when pulled over.
After spending months in a Louisiana jail, TMZ has reported that NBA YoungBoy’s bail has been set up.
When did YoungBoy start writing music?
In an interview with XXL Mag, he said he started writing at the age of seven.
He said: “I wrote my first song in the first or second grade. I was on and off from there.”
The rapper garnered a cult following through his work after releasing eight independent mixtapes between 2015 and 2017.
He was signed to Atlantic Records in 2017.
His 2018 debut studio album Until Death Call My Name peaked at number seven on the US Billboard 200.
His first chart-topping project came in 2019 with AI YoungBoy 2 which debuted and peaked at number one on the Billboard 200.
It included the singles Self Control, Slime Mentality, and Make No Sense.
He also collaborated with the late rapper Juice Wrld on Bandit and in April 2020, he released his sixteenth mixtape 38 Baby 2, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
The number of fans exploded with the release of the video for 38 Baby, which saw him riding around Houston, clutching a .38 pistol.
The song was named after the street where he grew up.
His second studio album Top was released in 2020.
What is YoungBoy’s criminal history?
NBA YoungBoy has a detailed criminal history.
In November 2016, he was taken into custody before a performance in Austin accused of jumping out of a vehicle and opening fire on a group of people on a South Baton Rouge street.
He was charged with two counts of attempted murder and spent six months in jail from December 2016 to August 2017 after pleading guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated assault with a firearm.
He was given a suspended 10-year prison term and three years of active probation.
But on February 25, 2018, he was seen on hotel surveillance footage assaulting someone and was incarcerated for three months for a shooting that happened in Miami involving him and his girlfriend.
In May 2019, the rapper was reportedly involved in a fatal road rage shooting outside Trump International Beach Resort in Florida.
The rapper’s bodyguard reportedly returned fire at the attacker, eventually killing him, while three other people were injured, according to police.
He was required to do probation for 14 months and in December 2019, his probation for two counts of attempted murder was officially terminated.
On Monday, September 28, 2020, authorities detained several people after reports of potentially illegal activity in Baton Rouge.
Social media posts suggest YoungBoy was among those detained.
On Monday, March 22, 2021, NBA YoungBoy was reportedly taken into FBI custody after trying to flee from the Los Angeles Police after being pulled over.
The rapper was tracked down using a K-9 unit after attempting to evade capture, TMZ reports.
According to the outlet, YoungBoy was taken to a jail in St. Martin Parish where he’s been locked up.
However, on October 22, TMZ reported that bail had been set up for Youngboy with an option from the judge to offer either $1.5 million in property or $500k in cash.
NBA YoungBoy was released four days later to serve the remainder of his pre-trial jail time under house arrest in Utah.
Under the house arrest deal his lawyers struck, he will have to hire a private security team of former members of the military, as well as wear a GPS monitoring device.
His release will allow him to continue recording music from a home studio.
“I’m really, really happy for him,” his attorney Drew Findling told Rolling Stone after the decision.
“This is the right result. It’s the fair result.
He added: “I’m extremely overwhelmed with gratitude at the result of last week’s hearing and think this was the just decision.”
