YoungBoy Never Broke Again to Get Out of Prison in July

YoungBoy NeverBrokeAgain is set to be released from prison this summer thanks to a plea deal.

The rapper, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, was previously facing aggravated assault with a firearm in Louisiana and also posing as a doctor to obtain prescription painkillers. A plea deal that was reached last year attempted to resolve both of these situations.

Gaulden came to a deal, finalized last September, that required him to acknowledge that he was illegally in possession of several firearms while he filmed a rap video in Baton Rouge.

The initial agreement ended up being for a 23-month sentence, five years of probation, and a $200,000 fine. He also had to turn over the weapons in question, which included a Masterpiece Arms MPA30T 9mm handgun and a Glock 21 .45 caliber pistol.

Gaulden’s sentence seems to have been reduced to include time served up until May 2024, which is far sooner than he would have been released from prison because of his deal.

Last November, Gaulden accepted a plea deal in his prescription drug fraud case that would see him pay a $25,000 fine but not serve any time behind bars. That case allegedly started when police officers arrested five people in the rapper’s vehicle while they were trying to pick up a fake prescription.

During a court appearance in July for Gaulden’s prescription drug fraud case, several unauthorized fans disrupted the proceedings by telling Judge Spencer Walsh to free the rapper.

“Free YB, man, free YB,” said one fan, to which Walsh told those in the WebEx stream to stay muted. “Shut yo bitch-ass up, man, free YB,” the fan added. Others chimed in to repeat “Free YB,” and one quietly added, “Shut up.”
