YoungBoy Never Broke Again has been sentenced in connection with his 2020 firearm possession.
Three weeks after the Baton Rouge rapper pleaded guilty to charges related to a large-scale prescription drug ring allegedly operated out of his Huntsville, Utah, residence, he was sentenced on Tuesday, December 10, to 23 months in prison for firearm possession, according Variety. The charges stem from his 2020 arrest.
In September 2020, YoungBoy, born Kentrell Gaulden, and 15 others were arrested while filming a music video in Baton Rouge. The "Make No Sense" rapper has agreed to a 23-month prison sentence, which will precede 60 months of probation, in addition to a $15,000 fine.
Gaulden spent more than three years battling the Baton Rouge weapons case in Louisiana's U.S. Middle District Court. In August, he accepted the transfer to the Salt Lake City federal court, as he lives in Utah under house arrest as part of his federal gun case plea deal. The rapper has lived in Utah since 2019 following his alleged involvement in a 2019 Miami shooting.
In November, the 25-year-old accepted a plea deal in his prescription drug fraud case, in which he will not serve time behind bars but is ordered to pay a $25,000 fine. The prescription fraud case allegedly started when police arrested five individuals in YoungBoy's vehicle while the group was trying to pick up a fake prescription.
Pharmacists who recognized the voice under a different first name were alarmed by a strange call from someone, allegedly YoungBoy, who claimed to be a person named Gwendolyn White, who was also unable to offer a birth year.
