NBA YoungBoy sentenced

On Tuesday (Dec. 10), NBA YoungBoy officially learned his fate after pleading guilty to gun charges in Utah in September. For pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, the Louisiana rapper was sentenced to 23 months in prison, four months less than his original deal, according to court documents obtained by XXL. He will be on five years probation after his release. He has also been ordered to pay a $200,000 fine. The universal plea deal also ends the 2020 gun case in Louisiana, to which YB also pleaded guilty.

NBA YoungBoy Pleads Guilty In Prescription Drug Fraud Case

The latest decision comes after YB pleaded guilty to a related prescription drug fraud case in Utah. Logan District Judge Spencer Walsh agreed to suspend the prison sentence, citing YB's previous plea, and ordered the rapper to pay a $25,000 fine.

YB was arrested at his home in Huntsville, Utah in April and charged in Weber County, Utah with criminal possession of a weapon and in Cache County, Utah with running a prescription fraud ring out of his home. Authorities say the rapper posed as doctors and used real names and dates of birth to request prescription drugs that his associates would obtain from area pharmacies. He had guns in his home when he was arrested.

During the hearing, Judge Walsh pleaded with the NBA YoungBoy to take advantage of his promising future after he is released from prison. “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.” Judge Walsh said.
