\n\tYoungBoy Never Broke Again<\/a> (a.k.a. NBA YoungBoy) will be released from prison this summer, according to federal inmate records \u2014 far sooner than indicated by his formal two-year sentence handed down last month.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rapper (Kentrell Gaulden) pleaded guilty last year to a pair of federal gun charges \u2014 one over possession of firearms in Louisiana, and another over a gun found when he was arrested in Utah<\/a>. In December, he was sentenced to <\/a>23 months in prison and five years probation on those convictions.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tYoungBoy Never Broke Again Sentenced to 23 Months in\u00a0Prison\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tBut federal innmate records now indicate that YoungBoy is scheduled for release on July 27. It\u2019s unclear when that release date was posted, or whether it could later be changed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe reason for the early release is likely time-served \u2014 credit for time YoungBoy already spent in jail awaiting trial. The rapper was previously in custody for several months on the Louisiana gun charge and spent several more months in a Utah county jail last year after he was arrested in that state.<\/p>\n

\n\tNeither the rapper\u2019s attorney nor federal prosecutors immediately returned requests for comment on Monday (Jan. 13)<\/p>\n

\n\tYoungBoy, a prolific rapper who has had four albums reach the top of the Billboard 200, was indicted by federal prosecutors in March 2021 after he was allegedly found with two guns during a music video shoot in September 2020 in Baton Rouge, La. Because of an earlier felony conviction from 2017, the rapper was charged with violating a federal law that bans felons from possessing guns.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile awaiting trial on those charges under house arrest in Utah, YoungBoy was arrested again in April over accusations that he participated in a \u201clarge scale prescription fraud ring.\u201d One of those added charges was another count of illegal gun possession over a semi-automatic pistol found in his Utah bedroom.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn December, the star\u2019s legal team finalized a complex \u201cglobal\u201d settlement to resolve all his various cases. Under that deal, he admitted to federal charges of owning the illegal guns in both Lousiana and Utah and also pleaded no contest<\/a> to several state charges in Utah.<\/p>\n

\n\tThough he had been facing decades in prison over the various charges, the deal saw YoungBoy sentenced to 23 months in prison for the Louisiana charge and sentenced to five years of probation and fined $200,000 for a gun charge in a separate Utah case. At the time, his attorneys said in a statement: \u201cThis has been a long road that involved extensive litigation and ultimately extensive negotiation. Kentrell\u2019s defense team is very happy for Kentrell and we look forward to his many future successes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile the July release date is now scheduled, it\u2019s unclear if it means that YoungBoy will be released directly onto probation or into some kind of transitional facility, often known as a halfway house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
