Yungeen Ace has been arrested for possession of a gun in Jacksonville Beach, FL, and is currently being held in custody.
According to arrest records obtained by HipHopDX, the rapper (real name Keyanta Tyrone Bullard) was arrested on Monday (April 15) at about 8:15 p.m. after sheriffs pulled his rented SUV over for failing to stop at a four-way intersection. He was initially arrested for failing to produce a valid driver’s license, but a subsequent search of the car revealed the rapper had seven guns — which he is not allowed to carry, in the state of Florida, as a convicted felon.
Yungeen Ace was scheduled to be arraigned in a Duval County courtroom on Tuesday (April 16), but he is still showing as incarcerated as of this writing.

Back in September 2023, Yungeen Ace made headlines when his social security number leaked, and his fans kept signing him up for the armed forces.

In a social media post, the rapper’s longtime enemy Julio Foolio shared a clip of Ace, claiming that it showcased him “snitching.” Ace refuted the claims and then took to Instagram Live to show off the paperwork to prove he wasn’t a snitch – but accidentally exposed his SSN in the process, which fans took note of.
Taking to his Instagram Story on September 3, Ace pleaded for fans to stop using the digits to sign him up for the army. “Aye on some real shit bruh, I’ma tell you this right now – stop signing me up for the fucking army, bruh!” he said. “Real shit. Stop doing that shit!”
Another foe of Yungeen Ace’s was the late JayDaYoungan, though the pair had been friends for years prior to his passing. The two rappers appeared to have not been on speaking terms when Jay tragically passed away, according to a post by Ace.
