NBA YoungBoy will be home earlier than expected, as his prison release date has been moved up quite a bit.
On Thursday (March 20), the Federal Bureau of Prisons database updated his release from July 27 of this year to three months earlier on April 26 – so YB will be home in just over a month.
The controversial rapper previously agreed to a plea deal for a gun possession charge, as well as his involvement in a prescription medication fraud scheme. The result was a 23 month sentence, five years of probation and a $200,000 fine.
He also had to give up the guns in question to the authorities.

That deal appears to have since been amended, with YoungBoy receiving a sentencing reduction to include time served up until May 2024.
Earlier this week, Birdman’s brother, Terrance “Gangsta” Williams, alleged that NBA YoungBoy had been thrown into solitary confinement at FCI Talladega federal prison in Alabama for hitting a Mississippi man “with a two-piece” who had yelled out Lil Durk‘s crew name “OTF” upon seeing the rapper.
There is a history of beef between the pair and their respective crews, and it’s possible the man was just trying to bait YB without even actually being a part of OTF.

But to Williams, YB is “in there standing on business,” and it apparently has not affected his prison release date.
Back in 2023,YB admitted that his beef with Durk is all for “entertainment” after Gillie Da Kid said he wanted the two to squash their feud.
“If both of them could hit the stage in the same night, it could show the young’uns that that shit ain’t that serious,” the rapper-turned-podcaster said. “The beef ain’t that serious. None of this drama is that serious.”
In a video he captioned, “It ain’t what you think OG all this shit entertainment,” YoungBoy appeared to accept Gillie’s request while acknowledging he is still under house arrest.

The Baton Rouge rap star also revealed that he and Lil Durk, who have been beefing on and off since 2021, talk every “two or three nights” about music.
Durk later responded to YoungBoy, although it appears their issues are not yet settled as the Chicago rapper accused his rival of sending him a false home address.
“You lied bout sending the address 7x when I asked I’m finna grab my coat 1 more time send the address,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories.
YoungBoy later clarified the situation by saying in a video that his legal issues were what was stopping Durk from visiting his home.

“Bro, my [probation officer] gotta approve you, it don’t work like that. You gon’ send my ass to jail,” he said, while captioning the clip: “I love tf out you help me bih @lildurk.”
The friction between the pair began in late 2021 when Lil Durk’s close friend and labelmate King Von was murdered during an altercation with Quando Rondo — an affiliate of NBA YoungBoy — and his crew.
