NBA YoungBoy is reportedly being released from police custody after a judge finally granted bail to the Billboard chart-topping rapper. He was behind the bars for 7 months straight.
The 22-year-old MC was arrested in March following a pursuit with police. He had an outstanding warrant on drug and weapons charges from a September 2020 arrest in Baton Rouge. He was pleaded not guilty to one count of felons in possession of a firearm and one count of possession of an unregistered firearm and is awaiting trial.
According to The Advocate, Chief U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick reversed course on October 22 and decided YoungBoy didn’t have to sit behind bars as he awaits trial in his federal weapons case.
NBA Youngboy will however be on a 24-hour house arrest in Utah. YoungBoy must post a $1.5 million property bond or put $500,000 cash into a trust account of his attorneys before he can be released.
He must also make an appearance next week before a Los Angeles judge on a charge of felon in possession of a firearm and be released on bond there before he can begin his house arrest in Utah. But they are confident they’ll have the same results.
If all goes well, NBA YoungBoy plans on building a recording studio at his new Utah home and hiring a security firm staffed by former soldiers to patrol the grounds, although security wasn’t one of the judge’s conditions. Dick did impose a curfew on visitors though and won’t allow more than three visitors to be at the residence at one time.
They also must be pre-approved by Dick. While he was in prison, NBA YoungBoy released his album Sincerely, Kentrell, which debuted on the top spot on the Billboard 200. He also welcomed his eighth child in late September.
