NBA YoungBoy Pledges To Money To Help End Violent Crime

    NBA YoungBoy has pledged $50,000 to two charities in a bid to help reduce violent crime in the Dallas area.

    The sum of money has been split between Manifest Freedom and Urban Specialists, both of whom pursue an anti-gang agenda.

    Speaking to Fox 4 News about the donations, the controversial rapper said: “You know, a lot of people be getting hurt, so it ain’t really cool at this point to me, so I just want to help in any way I [can].”

    YoungBoy also said his motive was to “help try to stop the crime”.

    The rapper has had more than his fair share of issues with the law and earlier this year was pardoned by Donald Trump on gun charges.

    Afterwards, YoungBoy said: “I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building – as a man, as a father, and as an artist. This moment means a lot. It opens the door to a future I’ve worked hard for and I am fully prepared to step into this.”

    Trump and the White House are yet to comment on the reasons behind the pardon but the Republican president does have a history of acting favorably towards rap stars.

    Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were famously pardoned by Trump at the end of his first term as president in 2021.

    At the time, Kodak was in the middle of a prison stint over a weapons charge with Trump citing the rapper’s “philanthropic efforts” as a reason for the pardon.

    Wayne was also pardoned on gun charges as he awaited sentencing.

    Weezy then thanked Trump for the pardon: “I want to thank President Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to give to my family, my art, and my community. I also want to thank @bradfordcohen for working so diligently to secure another chance for me. Love!”

    Before the pardon arrived, Wayne had publicly endorsed Trump as he was running for re-election in 2020, a race he ultimately lost to Joe Biden.

    YoungBoy also followed up his pardon by pledging his support to Trump on new song “XXX”.
