NBA YoungBoy is preparing to enter a guilty plea in a federal gun case, which could result in a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison

The rapper’s legal challenges persist as he prepares to modify his plea in a federal weapons case that originated in 2020.

NBA YoungBoy is reportedly preparing to enter a plea of guilty in his 2020 federal firearms case, which will represent a significant development in his ongoing legal battles. Drew Finding, the rapper’s attorney, has submitted paperwork that suggests his client is prepared to modify his confession, according to local reports from Baton Rouge’s WFAB.

NBA YoungBoy, whose actual name is Kentrell Gaulden, was detained in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in September 2020, along with 15 others, during what appeared to be a music video shoot. This incident is the basis of the case. The 20-year-old artist was apprehended by law enforcement after they discovered that he was in possession of a Glock.45 caliber pistol and a Masterpiece Arms 9 mm firearm that was modified with a Magpul RVG Vertical Grip.

YoungBoy is currently facing severe charges of firearm possession, which could result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years, due to his status as a convicted felon. The rapper’s legal team is also attempting to relocate the case to Utah, where he currently resides and is currently facing additional legal challenges.

Throughout his legal ordeals, YoungBoy has maintained a robust fan base, with supporters frequently demonstrating their support in person and online. Several admirers logged on to exclaim “Free YB” after the rapper’s appearance during a virtual court hearing on July 22, only to be informed by the judge that the session had already concluded.

As the August 19 arraignment approaches, YoungBoy’s legal team is anticipated to continue advocating for the most favorable outcome, despite the fact that no sentencing date has been established for the weapons case.
