NBA YoungBoy has been granted a house arrest amendment that will allow him to leave his residence for medical appointments.
Per XXL, Judge Shelly D. Dick signed off on YoungBoy — born Kentrell Gaulden — receiving a modification to his house arrest on Tuesday (December 19) due to his alleged deteriorating mental health.

“The defendant is restricted to 24-hour a day lock-down at his residence except for medical appointments and court appearances or other activities specifically approved in advance by the defendant’s pretrial supervision officer,” the filing reportedly reads.
With the amendment, YoungBoy can now leave his Utah estate to attend various doctor appointments in the area.

Judge Dick iced the idea of YoungBoy traveling outside of Utah for work-related duties, a modification the rapper’s team had also requested.
Last month, NBA YoungBoy filed court docs claiming that the house arrest has taken a toll on his mental health and led to him having depression.

Federal prosecutors initially pushed against the judge allowing YB to travel for any reason outside of his court dates in the Louisiana gun case.
“The United States fails to see how the defendant’s current conditions of pre-trial release prohibit him from seeking and obtaining mental health treatment,” Assistant U.S. Attorney William K. Morris wrote last month.

The trial in the Baton Rouge rapper’s federal gun case is expected to finally begin in July 2024. YoungBoy will remain under strict house arrest regulations — which he has been under since 2021 — until the trial concludes.
In other YB news, YoungBoy recently sat down for an interview with fashion influencer Liz “Lizzie Pure” Korn, but the rhymer was left less than happy about the experience.
Responding to Pure posting about the interview on Instagram, the Never Broke Again boss angrily commented: “Go report this hoe page this bitch unprofessional and clout chasing.”
He later added: “You a dog ass bitch ain’t nobody approved none of this you doing. You tried with that bullshit clip with @realcoleworld saying he’ll be able to remove anything if he wanted it then released it it. ‘Dead bitch walking.’”
It is not clear exactly why YoungBoy took issue with the Cole question given he appeared to happily discuss the topic during the interview.

When asked if he’d still collaborate with the Dreamville leader, he replied: “Come on Gravedigger Mountain and we’ll see,” referring to his home in Utah.
