Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy has been arrested in Utah on drug & weapons charges, booking records show.
The chart-topping rapper, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, was arrested by the Cache County Sheriff's Office & booked into the Cache County Jail on Tuesday evening on 20 counts each of procuring or attempting to procure a drug/prescription, forgery, identity fraud & a count each of possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, possession of controlled substances and pattern of unlawful activity.
According to Utah code, a pattern of unlawful activity consists of "engaging in conduct which constitutes the commission of at least three episodes of unlawful activity, which episodes are not isolated, but have the same or similar purposes, results, participants, victims, or methods of commission, or otherwise are interrelated by distinguishing characteristics."
Gaulden's attorney, James Manasseh, said he was still learning details about the arrest & could not immediately comment. The Sheriff's Office said it does not release additional information regarding inmate arrests.
Gaulden was living in his compound in Utah on house arrest while awaiting trial in Baton Rouge. The 24-year-old currently faces a felony gun charge in a federal weapons case. Another felony gun charge was dismissed by a judge in March.
His case stems from a 2020 music video recorded near an abandoned lot on Chippewa Street. Baton Rouge police swarmed the video shoot & rounded up Gaulden & 15 others after officers received a tip about people with guns.
He's set to be tried starting July 15.
