NBA YoungBoy Receives Support from Akademiks Amid Legal Troubles
Rapper NBA YoungBoy has found a supporter in internet personality Akademiks, who recently visited the artist in Utah where he is currently on house arrest. Akademiks took to social media to express his sympathy for YoungBoy, stating, “My prayers are with NBA Youngboy… I went to grave digger mountain .. I sat with him talked with him .. argued with him .. this an artist and a man who been u unfairly isolated tortured and made out as an evil person he isn’t that.”
YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, has been facing legal troubles, including charges of identity fraud, forgery, possession of a dangerous weapon, and possession of a controlled substance. Most recently, he was charged with possession of a firearm by a restricted person and obtaining a prescription without permission.
During a court hearing, YoungBoy’s bond was set at $100,000, and his arraignment is scheduled for July. The rapper was arrested in connection to a prescription drug fraud ring in Utah, where he allegedly participated in a scheme involving fraudulent prescriptions for Promethazine with Codeine.
Despite the legal challenges he is facing, YoungBoy continues to receive support from fans and fellow artists like Akademiks. The rapper’s case has sparked concern among his supporters, who are hoping for a positive resolution for the young artist.
