NBA YoungBoy is finally being released from prison. On Tuesday (October 26), Akademiks shared an Instagram post that indicated the Baton Rouge rapper would be out of federal custody by the end of the day.
“NBA YoungBoy has just been granted a bond from his other gun case in California,” it reads. “He will be released from custody shortly where he will immediately go to Utah to serve house arrest while he awaits trial in his federal case.”
He added in the caption, “#nbayoungboy is about to be free in a few hours and will be going to live in Utah where he will be on house arrest.”
“I’m really, really happy for him,” defense lawyer Drew Findling said to Rolling Stone following Tuesday’s hearing in Baton Rouge. “This is the right result. It’s the fair result.”
YoungBoy was granted the $1.5 million bail with strict house arrest that includes a GPS monitor after a three-day hearing last week in his Louisiana gun case.
NBA YoungBoy fans initially thought he was going to be released on October 22 after Chief U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick reversed course and decided he didn’t have to sit behind bars as he awaits trial. YoungBoy was required to post a $1.5 million property bond or put $500,000 cash into a trust account of his attorneys before he could be released.
Attorney Andre Belanger said the father of eight would also be required to make an appearance before a Los Angeles judge on a charge of felon in possession of a firearm and be released on bond there before he could begin his house arrest in Utah.
NBA YoungBoy To Be Released From Jail Following Weapons Arrest
Now that he’s finally on his way to Utah, NBA YoungBoy plans on building a recording studio at his new 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 to be at the residence at one time. They also must be pre-approved by Dick.
The 21-year-old rapper has been in custody since March after he was arrested in Los Angeles following a dramatic foot chase. YoungBoy was one of 16 people who were busted in September 2020 during a Baton Rouge video shoot on various gun and drug possession charges. His federal weapons charges stem from that arrest.
His most recent album, Sincerely, Kentrell, became his fourth to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, knocking Drake’s Certified Lover Boy out of the top spot last month with more than 186 million on-demand streams.
That was not a smart move. This is a lesson for everyone out there that is them streets and might end up in the FEDS. If the FEDS got you and there is a good chance you might be going on vacation with them for a while, STAY IN THERE. Don’t bail out. With the FEDS, your clock is rolling every day that they hold you. That time counts against whatever time you get. However, if you bail out, the time you spent inside before you bailed out is lost. When you get sentenced and they take you out the courtroom, that is your new day one.
You only really do two days anyways. The day you go in and the day you come out.
Real Talk, Preach!!!
True but you got a better chance at beating the case from the outside.
Really? An ignorant felon with priors? Even if the feds fuck up, they can’t fuck up this case. It damn near has a ribbon on a box delivered to him. How do you get caught with that type of fire on you with no gun permit and a few charges already, and you didn’t have no legal bodyguard claiming ownership. This is about as dumb as the chicken heads who keep opening their legs and producing babies for this walking herpes induced hazard
He’s be back in prison in less than 3 months for violating the terms of his release for doing something stupid. It’s a very bad move cuz with the limitations place on you they easily expected almost everyone especially the mentally handicapped like him to violate it.
Gonna be pretty difficult considering he is just moving from one jail to another. He will be surrounded by armed x military guards 24/7 who will most likey search anyone who enters that house. And they can’t enter without permission from a judge. Other then having a gun he hasn’t done anything violent towards anyone in a very long time. He’s not shooting anyone or killing anyone or robbing anyone. The kid is just making music and he’s rich, why he gonna fuck that up? He gave up that hood shit when he was 17, he’s 22 now. They just need to leave him alone, he is a threat to no one.
Every day in jail counts there is no such thing as time don’t count
You’ve never done Federal time then, totally different situation.
He will stay at a place next to a dispensory run by mormons
